Météo-France issued an avalanche warning bulletin on Saturday afternoon. This orange vigilance concerns the two Alpine departments of Savoie and Haute-Savoie. The alert will begin Sunday at noon and end Monday morning, says the weather agency.
"In the Northern Alps, the snowpack is thick at altitude and the upper layer, made up of recent snow or patches, is still little consolidated," explains Météo-France. However, a strong warmth, above 10 ° C, is expected this weekend. Temperatures that will weaken this significant snowpack.
