A significant snowstorm is set to impact the French Alps, with Météo-France issuing an orange alert for Isère, Savoie, and Haute-Savoie.

Heavy snowfall, reaching up to one meter above 1,500 meters, is expected to disrupt access to mountain resorts during the holiday season.

Strong winds of 80-100 km/h could worsen conditions, creating snow drifts and increasing avalanche risks.

Authorities warn of "large avalanches" that may affect mountain roads and infrastructure.

Travelers are urged to limit movement, use winter tires, and stay informed about weather updates.

The storm is expected to continue into Monday, with fresh snow adding to unstable layers, heightening avalanche dangers.
