There are chaining areas on the road that will allow you to chain safely. Caution: it is dangerous to set up on the road outside these areas to chain at the risk of hindering traffic and causing an accident.

The "snow socks" are also an alternative, but this equipment cannot, under any circumstances, replace traditional chains in extreme conditions.

It is prohibited, for safety reasons, to overtake snow-clearing vehicles during their intervention on the roads. In the event of a traffic jam, do not leave your vehicle without being asked to do so by the police. 

When you leave the resort, it is strongly recommended that you have the necessary equipment for driving in snowy weather.

In bad weather conditions, adapt your speed and be even more careful.
