Italian Alps:
Around 150 people are stuck in mountain stations
In the Italian Alps, around 150 people are stuck at various mountain stations due to weather-related cable car failures.
In the Alagna Valsesia ski resort in Piedmont on the border with Switzerland, the wind was blowing so hard that the lifts had broken down, according to the mountain rescue service. Rescue operations are currently underway to bring people down to the valley. Rescue operations are proving difficult due to the difficult weather conditions, the mountain rescue service added.
The people are being evacuated:
The emergency services are on their way to some mountain stations with snow groomers, they said. As there is not enough snow in several places, the rescue teams are walking to the stranded skiers and hikers and then accompanying them back down to the valley.
Wind warning for the entire Piedmont region
The people are doing well under the circumstances. Some are already on their way to nearby valley stations with the rescue services. Temperatures of around minus four degrees had been forecast in the area for the evening. The Italian Air Force weather service had also issued a wind warning for the entire Piedmont region.
