This morning the town of Gap woke up under a few inches of snow. Nothing rare at the end of January, but it reinforces the ski resorts that await holidaymakers.
5 to 10 centimeters according to the districts. Nothing unusual for Gap. Buses circulate. For the motorists, it is a little more complicated on the secondary roads. In the Col Bayard, to reach the Champsaur, special equipment is mandatory and the traffic is prohibited to trucks over 26 tons.
In the stations
This small snowfall brings comfort to the ski resorts. In the Champsaur, on average 20 centimeters of fresh snow fell as in Ancelle or Chaillol.
At the Tourist Office Orcières-Merlette 1850, we rejoice.
Same satisfaction at La-Joue-du-Loup or SuperDévoluy. 20 cm down the station and 30 more up, all on a good undercoat.
For Cédric Brunet, director of the Dévoluy tourism office, "the conditions will be optimal for the ski mountaineering World Cup, which will take place on Saturday and Sunday. "
The stations deplored a low snowy beginning of the year. They are reassured. They are eagerly awaiting skiers and holidaymakers for the start of February holidays on February 9th.
