VIENNA (Reuters) - A small Swiss village that attracted global attention last year when it was evacuated because the mountain face above it threatened to collapse onto it must be evacuated again, local officials said on Saturday.
The municipality of Albula in eastern Switzerland, which includes the village, Brienz, cited the risk of a rockslide like the one that narrowly missed the village in June last year after the last evacuation.
