The exit was so severe that snow penetrated four houses and blocked the access routes. Nobody was injured or killed – the Austrian authorities had anticipated the avalanche and asked residents to leave their homes beforehand.

In East Tyrol, the state in which Prägraten is located, 94 centimeters of fresh snow fell on Saturday. More snow is expected over the course of Sunday.
