Car parks at Lenk, closest to the lifts first

Distances are in a straight line to the nearest lift base, not by road. Spaces, price and type are those recorded in OpenStreetMap; where there is no data, we say so.

Is there free parking at Lenk?

Yes: OpenStreetMap marks these as free: Car park by Stand-Xpress I. Whether a car park is free can change from one season to the next; if there is a barrier or a pay machine, the sign wins.

How much does parking cost at Lenk?

We do not publish tariffs: no open source keeps them up to date, and a figure from memory is exactly the one that is wrong on the day you drive up. What we do know is which ones charge: 3 of the 9 car parks at Lenk are marked as paid. If they charge, the price is on the resort’s or the town’s website.

Tips for parking at Lenk

• On Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays the car parks by the main lifts fill up early: arrive before the lifts open or use the outer car parks and ride the shuttle or gondola.
• If you park at the foot of the slopes, leave the car facing downhill with the handbrake on lightly: in a hard frost the brakes can freeze on.
• Carry snow chains or fit winter tyres: in snow the access road can be closed to cars without them.
• Motorhome and coach parks are separate: overnight stays in car parks are not allowed unless signposted.
• Switzerland has no general requirement, but if you cause an accident in snow without winter tyres you are liable; on some passes chains are compulsory when signposted.

What about going without a car?
