Switzerland: Mountain danger increases after very heavy snowfall

Four people have been killed in an avalanche in Switzerland after the country experienced its heaviest snowfall in many years. The tragedy took place in the Champex region when six Danish tourists were hit by the avalanche, just below a ski lift. Another avalanche has blocked the Great St Bernard mountain pass from Switzerland into Italy – more than 10 feet of snow is said to be blocking the high-level route. Meanwhile, any adventurous types hading for the Democratic Republic of Congo should know that much of the country has been hit by a devastating storm that has left more than 150 people dead. The storm and accompanying tornado hit the Bandundu province, around 150 miles north of the capital Kinshasa, on Sunday night. Reports suggest that around 2,000 people were injured in the storm, which has left many transport routes impassable.
