Alpine divorce meaning: A new breakup trend in which your partner can abandon you at 12,461-foot on hiking trip

Alpine divorce, a new grim breakup trend, is going viral online in which an individual abandons their partner at high-altitude Alpine environments, where severe weather and challenging terrain can present genuine risks. A real-life incident has also surfaced in which a man left his girlfriend during a technical climb of the 12,461-foot Grossglockner peak, and she died. The term Alpine divorce gained traction after a TikTok video went viral, alleging that her boyfriend left her alone during a mountain hike.
