Since the road was cut on October 2, most shops in Tende have closed, since they cannot get supplies. For fresh produce (butter, meat etc.), one must take the train to Limone (depart from Tende 11:30, return 16:30) or Breil (depart from St Dalmas 9:10, return 17:40). A long day.
It would obviously be more efficient to use the daily draisine/trolley from Breil: Load the supplies in Breil, unload at Saint Dalmas and store them until each shop owner can retrieve them.
There is a tentative to put this in place, but it is not yet working due to coordination issues between the CARF, SNCF and the local businesses.
