St Anton Clean Up After Major Flood Damage

St Anton is the latest resort in the Alps to have been hit and damaged by violent storms, but the resort says the clear up is progressing well.
The worst of the storms hit on Friday with land slips closing the Arlberg Pass and flash flooding in St Anton itself reported to have washed cars down streets and damaged many buildings.
This morning though the resort's tourist office has been keen to stress that things are returning to normal, issuing this statement.
"Fortunately, …we can inform you that the situation in St. Anton am Arlberg has calmed down significantly. The clean-up work is in full swing, and many affected areas are already accessible again. The Arlbergpass re-opened last night, which eases accessibility. A huge thank you to all who have worked tirelessly on and continue to work to make our beautiful village shine again."
Last December the French ski resort of Risoul was severely damaged by flash floods and land slips which delayed its season start by several weeks and more recently Zermatt and a ski village near Les 2 Alpes were among ski resorts hit by similar weather events after the ski season has ended.
