Swiss authorities have ordered residents to abandon a tiny mountain village in the eastern canton of Graubunden because of fears it could soon be buried beneath a collapsing mountainside.
A thick coat of fog covered the mountaintop overlooking the village of Brienz on Thursday, where vegetation has been replaced by a slope of mud and rocks.
Local authorities say Brienz is at risk because 2 million cubic meters of rock could soon break off the mountain, damaging or outright crushing its quaint homes. Brienz's population of fewer than 100 people have been given until Friday evening to evacuate. The village's mayor, Daniel Albertin, is confident all residents will have left by then.One farmer, tending to the cows being evacuated, agreed.
