  • The Graubünden municipality of Albula/Alvra has declared the blue phase – the highest of the five danger levels.
  • This means: An event that can endanger the village is imminent.
  • During the night, a large part of the island left towards Brienz.
  • The evacuation of the village with its 84 inhabitants was completed on May 12th.

According to a tweet from the municipality, a large part of the island – as the sliding rock is called – went towards Brienz during the night.

The rock masses only just missed the village, but left a meter-high deposit on the cantonal road near the schoolhouse.

“Events could be heard on the mountain above Brienz during the night,” Christian Gartmann, spokesman for the Albula community, told Radio SRF.

The cantonal roads from Tiefencastel in the direction of Surava (Landwasserstrasse) and Lenzerheide (Julierstrasse) as well as the Albula line of the Rhaetian Railway were closed.

The speeds of the rock masses have increased tenfold since Thursday morning.

Since May 12, the danger level red has applied in the Grisons mountain village of Brienz. This means that the entire village was no longer allowed to be entered.

A total of six roadblocks were erected. The village is electronically monitored. In addition, a no-fly zone was set up over Brienz.
