The Mobility department has activated yellow alert phase on the CG-2 highway from Canillo to the Pas de la Casa border crossing. Reader-submitted photos show buses backed up in the area due to slow movement amid the snow.
Road conditions have also worsened in the northern valleys, with snow accumulating on carriageways and complicating travel.
