RULES OF GOOD USE:
So that our roads and villages can be cleared of snow in good conditions, we remind you of certain rules:
- Do not place snow on the track when clearing snow from your vehicle or your access. It is acceptable to do this just before a snow removal machine intervenes and not after, otherwise you expose yourself to prosecution and to having your liability sought in the event of a disaster.
- Vehicles parked on public property must be cleared of snow and moved each time snow falls to facilitate snow removal.
The rules must obviously be respected, in particular: parking zones prohibited at night, to facilitate snow removal, as well as blue zones and minute stops, respect the signs put in place to facilitate the turning of snow removal or salting equipment.
SPARKING outside designated parking areas
The Highway Code governs parking. Illegal parking for the purpose of practicing outdoor activities is therefore subject to these regulations. In particular at the place called the Mappaz, where parking is prohibited all along the D218D and in the vehicle turnaround area. On the Col du Pré road, parking is also prohibited along the road, except in designated and identified parking spaces.
In the residence the Key to the Peaks, 10 covered parking spaces are available to rent from the tourist office, one of which is equipped with a charging socket for electric vehicles.
