A very shallow magnitude 2.8 earthquake was reported early morning near Sitten, Sion District, Canton du Valais, Switzerland.
According to the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), the quake hit on Wednesday, November 19th, 2025, at 1:31 am local time at a very shallow depth of 6.10 km. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from France’s Réseau National de Surveillance Sismique (RéNaSS) which listed the quake at magnitude 2.9.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Chamonix (pop. 10,600) located 13 km from the epicenter, and Bourg-Saint-Pierre (pop. 210) 15 km away. In Martigny-Ville (pop. 14,800, 24 km away), Bagnes (pop. 6,600, 26 km away), Aosta (pop. 35,300, 28 km away), Sallanches (pop. 16,700, 32 km away), Cluses (pop. 19,800, 40 km away), Monthey (pop. 15,100, 41 km away), and Sitten (pop. 28,000, 45 km away), the quake was probably not felt.
