Overview

• Two landslides overnight on regional road 47 severed Cogne’s only link to the valley floor and prompted a full road closure.
• A severe thunderstorm triggered debris flows between the Chevril bridge and Vieyes, and Soccorso alpino valdostano teams and the fire brigade rescued the vehicle’s occupants and took them to Aymavilles.
• On-site geological surveys are now under way to evaluate slope stability and debris volume before any reopening work can proceed.
• Mayor Franco Allera confirmed debris removal is under way and said the situation remains under control despite the town’s temporary isolation.
• An aerial reconnaissance flight is scheduled to map the landslide sources and establish a precise timeline for restoring access.
