The 210Pb(210Po) method has for the first time been successfully applied for dating cold alpine firn/ice cores. The mean accumulation rate on Grenzgletscher near Colle Gnifetti (Switzerland, altitude 4 450 m) is found to be 37 cm year−1 and 32 cm year−1 for the two ice cores drilled down to 32 m and 65 m in 1976 and 1977, respectively. The surface activity amounts to 4 dpm kg−1 ice. It is shown that a good agreement between the data of the two ice cores is reached with a model taking into account an effect of decreasing annual ice layers with depth. With this thin-out correction, the accumulation rate in the 1977 core increases to 39 cm year−1.
