An avalanche, caused by heavy snowfall, has derailed a mountain train at Villars Ski Resort in Switzerland. The report, translated from Russian, was posted to Facebook earlier in the week.
Villars Ski Resort is reporting a ‘Considerable Avalanche Risk’ on their website, and the train’s status is listed as ‘In Preparation’ in their lift report.
Here’s to hoping that everybody was okay! Looks sketchy.
Max Rota: “В Вилларе вчера выпал снежок, в результате чего, лавина снесла поезд с рельс… Обошлось без жертв. Подъем на Бретай закрыт, по меньшей мере, до пятницы…”
(Translated to English using Google Translate): “Snow fell in Villars yesterday, as a result of which, an avalanche knocked the train off the rails … There were no casualties. The climb to Bretail is closed until at least Friday…”
