Valais police caught three minibuses on Sunday, all carrying paying passengers to and from Verbier and the airport.

In all cases the vans weren’t registered in Switzerland – they were either French or German vehicles. 

Police point out that’s illegal as the drivers are not complying with the right regulations.

The passengers had to find another way to get to their destination.
