South Tyrol tourist on the “shortest route’: Camper has a mishap - he gets stuck in the snow at 2000 meters. The mountain rescue service had to drag him free.
A bolt came out of a snow chain and it broke. The VW California was towed free and was allowed to drive back down to take the official route. It recently snowed heavily in South Tyrol and there were many avalanches. The small pass road is currently closed for the winter and the pass restaurant is also closed.
