week would bring heavy rain and strong wind in most of the regions
while the first snow this autumn last weekend will keep falling in the
mountains.
On Saturday and Sunday, the snow already reached several centimeters

Several tourists were evacuated from mountain chalets where some were
trapped. Up in the mountains, the snow level reached 13 centimeters
