Le Mont-Dore sits in Massif Central (Puy de Sancy), France, at 1050–1850 m. Getting there mostly comes down to altitude and whether you're driving or flying in — here's the practical part.
With 1050–1850 m of elevation, the access road often requires winter or M+S-rated tyres, and snow chains can be mandatory on heavy snow days. Check road conditions before you drive up and build in extra time for the last few kilometres of mountain road.
Look for flights into the international airport closest to Massif Central (Puy de Sancy), France, then a transfer or rental car to the resort.
Most resorts have paid parking right by the lifts and free options a bit further out with a shuttle. Arriving early on busy days (weekends, holiday weeks) is the difference between parking right at the slopes or walking quite a bit further.
