When the autumn weather resembles spring weather, the temptation is great to walk the mountain trails.

Only, sun or not, the time has come for (re) confinement, controlled by the police.

The gendarmes of the community of brigades of Vignec-Arreau, in the Hautes-Pyrénées, thus raged on the weekend of November 14 and 15.

With some particularly watched points: the departure of the most frequented hikes, in the areas of Néouvielle or the Col de Portet in particular, as well as access to Spain.

On their departmental Facebook page, the soldiers indicate that four people have been checked.

New checks this weekend

Three offenses were noted, for driving on a closed road in winter, moving away from the place of residence and bringing a dog into a nature reserve.

New checks are scheduled for this weekend, November 21 and 22.
