On Saturday afternoon, an avalanche blocked the road to Lech and Zürs am Arlberg (Vorarlberg). After inspecting the site, the avalanche commission decided to close the road from 5 p.m. on Saturday, but it is now open again. 

The avalanche occurred on Saturday afternoon, with masses of snow falling onto the road on the Trittkopf side, approximately 200 meters from the roundabout. The road was blocked over a length of ten meters. The first measure taken was to launch a search operation to ensure that no people or cars were trapped under the snow. Fortunately, no one was injured by the avalanche.

Road closure
The avalanche commission then decided on site that the road to the two luxury ski resorts of Lech and Zürs would be closed from 5 p.m. on Saturday for the time being. On Sunday morning, the situation was reassessed and the road was reopened to traffic. 

The avalanche danger remains high (level 4). The state also triggered the AT alert, informing the population of the dangerous situation via cell phone and warning them not to take any unnecessary risks.
