"Nobody came in a van," said Christian Gartmann, communications officer for the municipality of Albula, when asked by the Keystone-SDA news agency on Saturday. Apart from a bicycle, it was mainly files and other small items that were taken from the houses.
The mood among the residents was positive. They had appreciated the fact that their request for a short visit to the village had been granted.
During the two-hour visiting windows in the morning and afternoon, the evacuees were given the opportunity to return to their homes for the first time since mid-November. The demand was so great that the municipality set up a third visiting window at short notice. However, Brienz GR remains evacuated due to the threat of a rock avalanche.
