CHUR - Cantonal rangers in Graubuenden said several high paths remained closed in late July after rockfall. Tourist offices in Chur and Davos had taken to writing on the printed maps. Guides said clients still arrive with last year's GPX files.
No office wants a rescue that started with a brochure. The Blatten memory does the rest of the arguing.
