Parking


You are in a ski resort and at this altitude it snows frequently and abundantly (also beware of large dumps falling off roofs). Please take care of your car as there is no service to help you dig it out.


Parking in the same place on a public road is limited to 24hrs maximum. Parking is not allowed in the P3 car park on Thursdays as it is market day.



In order for the snowploughs to operate, there are several areas set aside for them to move snow, turn and do their job. These areas are signposted with ‘no parking’ signs. In order to avoid any nuisance during your stay, please remove your car from these areas.


In winter: the Drapeaux, Anemones and Queyrelets car parks are pay and display. There are ticket machines in the car parks and the tickets must be visible on the dash board.
