The ski season will be officially launched Saturday December 7 in the resorts of the Alpes-Maritimes.
However, the snow decided to do a first early autumn appearance, this Thursday, November 21.
With the arrival of the Caetano storm in France, winter and cold have descended on the country. 54 departments have been placed on orange “snow”, “ice” vigilance. et “vent” by Météo-France on the occasion of this “early winter episode”.
With, as a bonus, a risk of avalanche in the Alpes-Maritimes, we will have to remain careful here. The four vigilances of the day have also been extended for the night from Thursday to Friday in 06 (“snow-ice”, “wave-submersion”, “wind” and, therefore, “avalanche”).
A few hours after passing through Paris and the north of France, a white coat covered the Alpes-Maritimes and gave beautiful images to Isola 2000, Valbergor even Auron.
We have selected for you the most striking photos and videos of these first snowfalls in the department.
Auron under the snowflakes
It's the whole village ofAuron which found itself snowy this Thursday afternoon.
On the program, a low sky… and snowflakes which fell massively on the station.
A thick cloud layer at Isola 2000
Some took the opportunity to have a little fun in the resortIsola 2000where we could observe a thick snow cover.
Always on the heights ofIsola 2000the slopes are already being prepared for the arrival of skiers.
The station's webcams testified to the presence of a nice layer of powder.
The snowplow was out in Valberg
The major resources were brought out this Thursday, November 21 in the Riviera resort of Valberg.
The snow plow has indeed left behind a beautiful layer of immaculate snowwhich was deposited in the last hours of the day.
