The brief cool weather has brought wintery conditions to some of the passes.
It was only a few days ago the heatwave had pushed the zero degree mark up to a new high – above 5,000 meters.
But now it’s back down below 2,000 and motorists are being warned to expect snow on the roads on the high passes – quite heavy snow in some areas.
