A 24-year-old man of Belarusian origin was driving his van on a ski slope in an Italian resort when he was spotted by local skiers on the afternoon of February 12, according to France 3. The resort ski resort, La Thuile, is located on the border between France and Italy.
The driver, who intended to go to France to
“deliver fabrics”
, declared that he wanted to avoid paying the toll for the Mont-Blanc tunnel, which was why he preferred to take the ski slope.
The police of this ski area in the Aosta Valley quickly intervened.
A check revealed that he was indeed transporting tissue.
The man was finally forced to pay a fine of 200 euros and take the famous tunnel to reach France, according to information from the same media.
