Tips for parking at Val d'Isere

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?
