| Type: |
Ice avalanches |
 |
|
| Description |
500.000 m³ of ice came down in February 1982 and swaped over a rocky step where the smaller ice avalanches are used to stop. The ice front where the ice broke down had a length of 200 meters and was 80 meters high. |
|
Effects: |
350 m³ of wood has been destroyed by the ice and air pressure. Moreover a building site of the road authority and some machines have been destroyed. The avalanche stoped only a few meters in front of a railway track which was damaged slightly. |
