News10. November 2015

Video of a spectacular rockfall in Switzerland in the community of Evolène (Valais).

As the local geologists said, the rock had been considered as fragile and was under observation. About 2000 cubic meters of rock finally toppled from a cliff, falling down into the valley. A few houses got evacuated and one road closed before although the rocks did not reach this infrastructure.
