Short summary
In mid-May, 2023, the village of Brienz/Brinzauls in the Swiss canton of Graubunden was evacuated, and one month later a flowlike landslide emplaced with velocities of ~25 m/s and narrowly missed impacting the village. Landslides at this site have emplaced with velocities that can vary by 5 order-of-magnitude, a puzzling observation which we analyse in the present work. Our results show that the range of scenarios usually considered in landslide risk analyses must be expanded.
