Strong wind captivates 150 winter athletes in Italy's Alps!

In the Italian Alps, more precisely in the Alagna Valsia ski area, around 150 people are stuck in the Mountain stations due to violent winds and related failures of the cable cars. These lifts disabled for safety reasons have made the departure impossible for skiers and hikers. As the mountain rescue confirmed, intensive rescue operations are currently underway to bring the stranded back to the valley. However, the difficult weather conditions make these missions extremely complicated, since there is not enough snow in many places, which makes it difficult to recover, as Tagesanzeiger.ch reported.

The emergency services are on the road with slopes for the mountain stations, while in other places the rescue workers have to pick up the stranded people on foot. According to the circumstances, those affected are doing well; Some are already on the way to nearby valley stations with the rescue workers. Temperatures of about -4 degrees Celsius were forecast for the region, and the Weather Service of the Italian Air Force has issued a wind warning for the entire Piedmont, such as Kleinezeitung.at reported.
