Elsewhere in Switzerland, the popular tourist destination of Zermatt, in the southern canton of Valais, near the iconic Matterhorn mountain, remains inaccessible. Heavy rains and melting snow caused the Mattervispa River to overflow, isolating the village.
Spectacular videos showed the small river running through Zermatt in flood, partially submerging the streets of the popular ski resort.
The Matterhorn-Gotthard railway has suspended operations as no other means of transport are available, the railway company announced on social media on Saturday morning.
