Many areas are covered in snow. The roads there are closed or very slippery. Toulouse News takes stock.

Andorra road still closed

This Monday morning, access to Andorra is still impossible from France.

“Road access to Pas-de-la-Case as well as access to the Col de Puymorens from the place called “la crusade” (RN 20, RN320 and RN22) will remain closed to all motorists at least until Monday midday. Preventive avalanche triggering shots will take place before the road reopens,” the Ariège prefecture announced on Sunday.

Opening at midday, nothing is certain yet. The risk of avalanches is significant.

Haute-Garonne: slippery roads in Luchonnais

In Haute-Garonne, traffic is always difficult in Comminges and particularly, from 800 meters, in Luchonnais.

Traffic is difficult towards the Col de Mente and the Mourtis ski resort, which, as a reminder, is closed. A scraping is in progress announces the Department.

The road is also snow-covered in the Oueil valley, towards the Superbagnères station and towards the Col du Portillon.

Traffic “is tricky” towards the Col de Peyresourde.

Tarn: Snow on the Lacaune mountains

“It snowed on the heights of the Lacaune mountains, from 700-800 m, whitening the soil,” indicates Météo Sud Aveyron. The roads can therefore be slippery. Traffic is difficult on all the roads around Lacaune, particularly the climb towards the Col de Sié or the Bassine sector.

Ariège: Special equipment required in the mountains

In Ariège, in addition to the road to Andorra being closed, access to the Beille plateau is complicated. “Access is difficult, the road is partially snow-covered. Special equipment is mandatory,” indicates Info Route 09.
