Long term avalanche risk quantification for mapping and the design of defense structures is done in mostcountries on the basis of high magnitude events. Such return period/level approaches, purely hazardoriented,do not consider elements at risk (buildings, people inside, etc.) explicitly, and neglect possiblebudgetary constraints. To overcome these limitations, risk based zoning methods and cost-benefit analyseshave emerged recently. They combine the hazard distribution and vulnerability relations for the elementsat risk. Hence, the systematic vulnerability assessment of buildings can lead to better quantify the riskin avalanche paths. However, in practice, available vulnerability relations remain mostly limited to scarceempirical estimates...
