Notice: Authority reports undermined bridge abutments and possible collapse at the Tännbach suspension bridge on Wiler–Tärra–Weissenried. Blatten and Wiler close that bridge to all crossing. This linked warning supports a downstream itinerary restriction, not closure of every Beichpass variant or the Belalp normal.

Notice: Operator says Beichpass descent into Lötschental is no longer possible because the bridge between Blatten and Wiler is closed. The linked authority describes a specific unsafe Tännbach crossing, not closure of every Alpine pass or the separate Belalp normal. Confirm the exact intended onward itinerary.
