Massive Rockfall on RN90 Disrupts Access to Major Ski Resorts in Savoie

A significant landslide on Saturday morning left one person injured and caused major traffic disruptions on the route to popular ski destinations in the French Alps.

An estimated 50 cubic meters of rock fell onto the RN90 near Aigueblanche, damaging vehicles and blocking traffic to ski resorts in the Tarentaise Valley.
One person sustained minor injuries and was hospitalized following the incident, which occurred late Saturday morning.
Traffic on the RN90 was temporarily halted but later reopened in both directions, though congestion remains severe; the RD 1090 remains closed in both directions.
The French Red Cross has been deployed to assist stranded travelers by distributing food and supplies to those affected.
Authorities have advised travelers heading to resorts like Tignes, Val d’Isère, and Les Arcs to seek alternative accommodations if they have not yet reached Savoie.
