Snowfalls unprecedented by their precocity, in Savoy in the Alps, allowed locals to put on skis.

Unheard of in September and when the ski resorts have not yet opened.

Unheard of at this time!

At the end of September, snowfall takes place in the Alps, in Savoie.

So much so that Romuald, who lives near the Saisies ski resort, was able to "ski, with a neighbor, in the middle of the fields".

Ski resorts are still closed during this period.

"Only the cows reminded us that we were not in the middle of winter"

"The higher we climbed, the more abruptly we went from a still summery environment with green leaves on the trees to a completely winter environment", Romuald recounts.

"Only the cows, in the middle of the snow-covered meadows, reminded us that we were not in the middle of winter. We were in a kind of childish excitement, we went down with very good quality snow before the first rays of the sun. do not transform it. "

"It is really very surprising because even last week we had temperatures ranging from 30 to 35 degrees in the Savoy valley", indicates the skier.

An early pleasure, then, but which shows unsettled temperatures for the period.
