Workers clearing the debris after the landslide, which washed away a large section of the A13 autoroute in Graubünden, have discovered a body of a woman.
Two people are still officially missing. Authorities are now trying to identify the body to check if it is one of those.
Heavy rain last Friday triggered a massive landslide which took out part of the road and some houses in nearby villages.
