This was the result of an analysis by the experts consulted.
The mountain debris pile could continue to accelerate rapidly over the coming years in the event of heavy rainfall or rockfalls and possibly collapse, the municipality of Albula/Alvra, to which Brienz belongs, announced.
The huge drainage tunnel currently under construction beneath the mountain village would have no influence, residents have been told.
“For the residents and the municipality, this raises the question of what is reasonable,” said municipal president Daniel Albertin. The settlement should not be retained at all costs.
Currently, however, the situation in Brienz has eased somewhat. From Monday, the population and holiday home owners will be allowed back into the village every day from 9am to 7pm.
