Mass movements represent important processes that shape relief in Alpine areas. In this article, we present the spatio-temporal dynamics of the Ciprnik landslide (Julian Alps, NW Slovenia) and interpret its triggering and evolution. In the study area, mass movement activity is characterised by two phases: normal deposition on the fluvial fans that dominated up to 2000, and a more active phase related to the triggering of the Ciprnik complex landslide and formation of an additional debris-flow fan. The Ciprnik landslide started as a translational movement over the discontinuity plane that was mobilised into a debris-flow. The triggering and slope failure resulted from a combination of tectonics (i.e. dip-slope position of the strata, and strong fracturing), lithology (alternation of thin beds of carbonates and fine-grained clastics), and accumulation of precipitation. The debris-flow fan remains active and interfingers with adjacent active fluvial fans
