Suspicious object: Geocacher paralyzed the Kanzelwand ski area

Guests reported at lunchtime that a man had attached a suspicious object to a ski rack at a lift station. The Kleinwalsertal police station found a 15 cm long, pipe-like object wrapped in black duct tape – and evacuated the Kanzelwandbahn mountain station and the adjacent Zwerenalpbahn, and the ski area ceased operations.
