When we were Les Arcs in March 2 years ago it was the warmest winter they'd seen. They were used to temps well below 0 and now had +5 and rain on 2/3s of the mountain

I've seen rockfalls from melting permafrost at 3000m in January in recent years. Higher is feeling it too.
In 2017 the Alps had a real cold snap. It was way below -20 in Saas Fee and Zermatt in the villages and way below -30 on the top. The chap we were staying with reckoned it was like that every February in the area when he was a child.

It really feels that the string of warm winters he have had in the Alps are the the new norm, doesnt it?
