Travel Updates Following Recent Rockfall Incident

Good news for skiers heading to the French Alps this weekend! The RN90 road and Ponserand tunnel, which were affected by a rockslide last weekend, will fully reopen this Friday at 4 PM. However, the tunnel will be closed for two hours (2 PM - 4 PM) today for final preparations. With excellent snow conditions attracting skiers, roads are however likely to be busy. Traffic management measures to ensure smooth flows of vehicles may restrict speeds and journey times may therefore be longer.

For guests beginning their holidays on February 8th and 9th, authorities already have measures in place to manage traffic flow. However, transfers could take longer than usual. We advise the following:

1. Bookmark this page and check for updates.

2. Ensure Skiworld has a contact mobile number for your group.

3. Carry phone chargers or battery packs in your hand luggage.
