Car parks at Metabief, 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 Metabief?

Yes: OpenStreetMap marks these as free: Car park by Super-Longevilles 1, Place Xavier Authier, Car park by Prés Midi 2, Car park by Morond, Car park by Citerne. 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 Metabief?

We do not publish tariffs: no open source keeps them up to date, and a figure from memory is exactly the one that is wrong on the day you drive up. In OpenStreetMap none of the 8 car parks at Metabief is marked as paid (7 free, 1 with no data). If they charge, the price is on the resort’s or the town’s website.

How many parking spaces are there at Metabief?

At least 380: that is the sum of the 5 car parks with a recorded capacity in OpenStreetMap. The other 3 have none, so the real total is higher.

Tips for parking at Metabief

• 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.
• In France, the Loi Montagne requires winter tyres or chains in the boot from 1 November to 31 March in signposted mountain municipalities.

What about going without a car?
