The fragility and agility of the Hautes-Alpes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This blog recounts both the vulnerability of the Hautes-Alpes<\/strong>, a mountainous d\u00e9partement hit to the heart by climate change, and the mobilization of the people of the Hauts-Alpes<\/strong> on the path to ecological transition.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

The intention of our blog<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Raising awareness of the beauty and fragility of our natural environment, understanding the impact of global warming on economic, tourist and agricultural activities in the Hautes-Alpes<\/strong>, highlighting the most remarkable initiatives, opening up a place for sharing and exchange beyond everyone’s convictions, working together to find a point of balance between preserving and promoting exceptional nature, our greatest asset, so that we can continue to do business and live here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2025, the Glacier Blanc in the \u00c9crins massif will continue its marked retreat, confirming a trend observed for over two decades. According to the Parc National des \u00c9crins, last summer’s particularly hot weather accelerated a melt that was already well underway: the glacier lost an average of 2 metres in thickness<\/strong>, retreating by around 30 metres<\/strong> over the year. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Park staff point out that the Glacier Blanc, once one of the most accessible and frequented glaciers in the massif, is now a tangible illustration of the impact of climate change in the high mountains. Its shrinking volume is spectacular: since 1980, it has lost almost 40% of its surface area<\/strong> and over 70 metres in thickness<\/strong> in places. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

While the situation continues to give cause for concern, our field teams continue their ongoing scientific work<\/strong>, which is essential for documenting these rapid transformations and raising public awareness of the climatic realities at work in the Hautes-Alpes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
