Thousands of snowflakes in the Vosges as Christmas approaches. Monday December 23, Météo-France informs that nearly a meter of snow is expected in the coming hours above 1,800 meters above sea level on the mountain massif. An episode that the meteorological organization described as “outstanding”.
In the ski resort of La Bresse, a white coat of 60 centimeters of snow is present in the morning, at 1,000 meters above sea level. Videos of happy vacationers are playing endlessly on social media. After a gloomy start to the season, Laurent, mountain guide, is fully satisfied with these weather conditions: “With the snow falling, there is enough to do all the activities, it's great. The schedules on the website are filling up.”
It made three years since the resort had been so covered in snow during the Christmas period. The Alpine area will therefore experience a rise in power, as its director, Nicolas Claudel, confides: “Everyone this morning is clearing snow from their cars and their paths. We will be able to open the entire ski area tomorrow with only a track or two that won't be open. This is good news.” Until the New Year, La Bresse expects to experience its biggest crowds of the ski season.
