Gondo’s gift
Rebuilt tower brings new hope.
A major restoration project is bringing fresh hope to the tiny Swiss border village of Gondo, which was torn apart seven years ago by a landslide that claimed 13 lives. A charity has restored Gondo’s Stockalper Tower in time for Easter. In doing so, it’s hoped the fortunes of the village, on the Swiss-Italian border, will also be revived.
