French authorities have postponed the reopening of the Petit Saint-Bernard pass in Savoie, which connects the Tarentaise and Aoste valleys, due to elevated avalanche risk, according to Le Figaro. The pass was initially scheduled to reopen on Friday, May 22, but the department has delayed the reopening until further notice, adding to transportation disruptions across Alpine regions already strained by severe weather conditions.
