Image description

The devastating avalanche decline in the Buendner mountain village of Vals claimed 19 lives, taken in January 1951. 48 years ago, in January and February 1951, avalanches thundered into valleys in various regions of the Swiss Alps, causing death and devastation. It was the prelude to a series of catastrophes that would go down in history as the 'avalanche winter 1950/51'. A total of 98 people lost their lives in avalanches in Switzerland at the time.
