Without electricity for three days after enormous snowfall, this small ski resort sees its tourists packing up. Although homes in Roubion regained hot water and heating on Wednesday thanks to emergency generators, the ski lifts were not restarted.

Most of the tourists have already left. “We are a little discouraged, but nature has every right. It's just a little frustrating when we see the beautiful blue sky and the sun like today, where we say to ourselves that it would be a wonderful day of skiing,” laments the councilor, resigned.
