Tignes road report

Tignes road report
Snow chains - often neccessary!
Snow chains - often neccessary!
We have compiled some useful information on driving in the resort, whether you will be hiring a car from the airport, or driving your own vehicle from the UK.

When driving in the Alps you should ensure your vehicle is properly equipped. If you are heading to the mountains in a hire car you should always request winter tyres. Snow-chains are a neccessary precaution. If you are driving your own car check out Skidrive.co.uk for equipment.

If you are looking for a good route planner we regularly use ViaMichelin, and their map features road works and fixed speed-camera details as well.

Radarsfixes.com is seemingly the most up-to-date resource for details of France's fixed speed camera locations, also detailed on a region-by-region map

Snow Chains: Chains are not currently required in this resort. Please note: carrying snow chains in your car is essential in mountain resorts, whatever the weather, as driving conditions can change suddenly.

Auto Routes: Weekends (and in particular, Saturdays) can be very busy on the roads leading to the Alps. You can plan to miss the most congested days by consulting the French traffic site Bison Futé which gives masses of useful information on the French roads, inlcuding a long-range forecast of the busy days to avoid.

Be aware of speed cameras on the following roads in the region: A43 Tunnel de l'Epine (direction Lyon/Chambery); A 43 Tunnel de Dullin (direction Chambery/Lyon); RN 90 Tunnel de Ponserand (direction Moutiers/Alberville); RN 201 La Biolle (direction Albens/Aix), RN 201 above the entry to the Tunnel des Monts (direction Grenoble/Aix).
