An Avalanche is a matter of minutes

People that love to visit mountains and resorts know that Avalanches happen without any word of warning. One should be prepared to deal with difficulties on the way.

Large volume of unstable snowpack and ice/rock flow down from the mountain and wipe out everything on its way.

Some of the reasons of avalanche: Rise in temperature, Explosion of any kind, Earthquake, Volcanic Eruption, Heavy Rain, Snowstorm and other natural causes.

Slab avalanche is the deadliest one while loose snow, wet avalanche, and icefall avalanches are some other types of avalanches.

An icefall avalanche is rare, and one may not predict it in advance. Check the weather forecast prior one decides to hike any snow-filled mountain.

People that desire for family holidays in the French Alps can contact AlpyBus for information about the mountain and ski resorts, and popular tourist destinations nearby.
