Heavy snowfalls are affecting delivery in the alps region of Canton Wallis and making it difficult, and in some parts even impossible, to deliver postal items in the postcode areas 19xx, 39xx due to closed roads and strong avalanche warnings.

Currently it is not predictable when normal postal operations will resume as the snowfalls still go on for the next few days.

Swiss Post has confirmed that the covid restrictions have now been lifted and postal services have returned to normal.
