The assessment of risks due to large landslides in the alpine environment is the first activity carried out within the IMIRILAND Project. Since very large slope movements are quite often directly or indirectly implicated in disasters, like landslides, secondary slides or debris flow, their early identification is essential to an adequate risk assessment of the zones involved. Methodologies for the assessment and mitigation of risks are therefore a major issue. This impact is becoming more and more pronounced due to increasing tourism and the construction of new roads and railways in mountainous areas. They are characterised by a low probability of evolution into a catastrophic event but can have very large impacts on population, infrastructures and the environment. Large landslides affect many mountain valleys in Europe.
