Landslides comprise one of the most common phenomena related to ground movement. These phenomena are caused by a combination of factors (geological structure, precipitation height, manmade interventions etc). During 2010 the broader area of the municipality of Metsovo faced serious problems related to landslides, which occurred at the road network of the area and inside the settlements of Metsovo and Anilio. The constant and of high intensity rainfalls of November, combined with the geological background and the morphology of the area, led to the occurrence of landslides.

The impacts for the broader area were important. Several houses presented cracks and some of them were considered vulnerable to collapse. Landslides will continue to take place in the area of Metsovo, due to its geological and climatic conditions. Nevertheless, the accurate diagnosis of the landslides' causes, as well as the implementation of proper technical interventions can protect the lives and the activities of the inhabitants of the area.
