Avalanche paths of the Balmes

Ÿou will notice in front of you the vast paths free of any vegetation or trees. These valleys, called Balmes, are highly susceptible to avalanches due to their inclination and orientation. The snow slides prevent the vegetation from colonising these areas. Ÿou may notice under the track to the east a multitude of trees, lying and broken. These are the stigmas of a large-scale avalanche that fell during the winter of 2012.
