"We feel hurt, but we are equally ready to start again when we have the tools." Thus the mayor of Cogne, Franco Allera, begins by taking stock of the situation almost two weeks after the flood which caused the isolation of his municipality from the rest of the Aosta Valley by land. Among the extensive damage caused by the strong wave of bad weather on 29 June in this area, there are also three collapses along regional road 47, the only access route to the mountain resort. Transport of people and goods is currently only possible with the helicopters that shuttle every day between the Aymavilles sports center, the base camp of the civil protection of the Valle d'Aosta Region for this emergency, and Cogne.
"The real problem is that we don't have the connection with Aosta - adds Allera -, so we are in a sort of isolation, even if without particular problems within the country. Then we have some very damaged areas, such as Valnontey, which is was practically almost destroyed by the flood. But above all we had a lot of damage to all the infrastructure. For example, we no longer have a bridge from upper Valnontey to Epinel, the last hamlet of Cogne."
