Three deaths in 24 hours in the Alps: how snowy conditions increase the risk of accidents. It has snowed little in the massifs in recent weeks and with temperatures characterized as "spring" in January, the snow "melts during the day and freezes at night, when temperatures are lower" These conditions more easily lead to “unscrewing”, or being dragged along a slippery slope in the event of a fall.
“The resulting injuries can be extremely serious,” warns Océane Vibert, director of La Chamoniarde.
