Steep U-shaped valleys produced by glaciation are commonly eroded by rockfall. In this study we investigate modern and long-term (power law predicted) rates of rock wall retreat in a deglaciated valley. Our emphasis is on the 5.2 km 2 calcareous cliffs covering in the Lauterbrunnen Valley, Switzerland.Terrestrial laser scans were collected during nine field campaigns over 18 months to provide a continuous coverage of most of the valley walls. Results indicate a total of 122 rockfalls with volumes ranging between 0.06 ± 0.01 and 119.34 ± 1.07 m 3. Different size groups of rockfall events were correlated with environmental factors (e.g., freeze-thaw cycles/temperature, precipitation, and seismicity) using a linear regression with variable lag times of 0-6 months. The highest correlation factor (r = 0.6, P = 0.08, 90% significance level) is observed for freeze-thaw cycles and rockfall events smaller than 1 m 3 with a 2 month delay between temperature extremes and rockfall. Frequency-magnitude relationships for rockfall events were calculated to predict less frequent larger rockfall events that did not occur during the observation period. A Monte Carlo analysis was applied to the frequency-magnitude relationship to evaluate the sensitivity of results to their stochastic nature. An average power law exponent of 1.71 ± 0.09 was calculated using linear regression. The calculated exponents are similar to other studies in calcareous rock settings conducted over different observation durations. Finally, we determine an average total eroded volume of 2:0
