Also, these snows are melting, which reduces the thickness of these snow masses by about 15 centimeters, from the period from 1999 to 2011, compared to 1.1 meters of snow layers that are lost annually from above the Alps, and that these avalanches will multiply due to climate changes and the rise in temperature .
