and drinking red wine so not been too aware of the time the road has been closed,
The only road connecting the resort to the outside world was closed for 24 hours, leaving
nearly 10,000 tourists stranded in the town, according to the Italian news agency ANSA.
The road into the French ski resort of Val Thorens was closed
because of the snowfall for a period of time from Wednesday into Thursday, leaving thousands of vacationers stranded.
