The inhabitants of the hamlet called " l'Hospice de l'Hoche" have been wake up at 05h20 by a huge noise. This phenomenon has been listed like an avalanche. The limits reported on a map show that the starting area of the avalanche is the snout of the Girose glacier. It seems probably that an ice fall is the cause for the disconnecting of anavalanche |
