The Rigopiano hotel， a luxury ski resort， was located on the lower slopes of 2，912-meter-tall Gran Sasso peak in the central Abruzzo region.


The huge avalanche materially uprooted the facility， which remained engulfed under metres of snow， mud， and rubble. Two guests were outside the hotel， when the snowslide occurred， and survived. They were able to launch the first SOS call.

All four seismic events were above 5 of magnitude on the Richter scale， with epicenters between the provinces of Rieti and L'Aquila， according to Italy's National Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (INGV).
