Here’s the statement from the resort:

“The Riserva Bianca thanks everyone for the proximity and support received following the natural disaster suffered in the past few days. From today we have been able to start operating with bulldozer to clear paths to reach the lifts and check their status. It will be hard but we will be reborn for you.”
