100 villagers from Brienz/Brinzauls have been instructed to depart. The village is 25 miles southwest of the ski resort of Davos. NEW
The mountain slope above the village has been deemed unsafe by the authorities because of the accelerated motion of a rock mass on a close-by plateau.
Officers consider there’s an imminent threat of collapse.
The village is located at an altitude of 1,150m.
Farmers have been suggested to maneuver their livestock.
The village has skilled comparable evacuations previously and narrowly escaped an enormous rockfall two years in the past as we reported on the time:

9m cubic tons of mud, rock and ice got here down the mountainside.
