But there is a way you can reduce the overall cost \u2013 drive to the Alps instead of flying. It\u2019s also \u2013 arguably \u2013 a more relaxing way to travel. Just think, no lugging cases and equipment around airports, and no local transfers. You simply drive all the way to your destination, taking in the local scenary too.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>However, if you do decide to drive, you need to think carefully about your car, and in particular your tyres. Read on to find out what the rules are about winter tyres and chains while driving in Europe.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>First stop: France<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.asdatyres.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/european_driving_alps_france_article-2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-668 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.asdatyres.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/european_driving_alps_france_article-2.jpg\" alt=\"driving to the alps\" width=\"650\" height=\"428\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.asdatyres.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/european_driving_alps_france_article-2.jpg 760w, https:\/\/www.asdatyres.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/european_driving_alps_france_article-2-300x197.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 650px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 650\/428;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Depending on your starting point, from the UK it\u2019s possible to drive to the French Alps in one \u2013 admittedly long \u2013 day. From the south east, expect to be in the car for about ten hours. So, it follows that most self-drive skiers opt for resorts in France like Morzine, Chamonix and M\u00e9ribel.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It will take longer to get to the Italian Alps, but that\u2019s certainly achievable and plenty of people make this journey too, choosing to ski in places like Cervinia, Sestri\u00e8re and Courmayeur. You have to drive through France for much of the way before crossing the border via the Mont Blanc tunnel.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re driving in or through France, there\u2019s a standard list of items you must legally have with you in the car, including a breathalyser kit, high visibility vests, and a warning triangle. Most people know about these and it\u2019s easy to pick up what you need at the Euro Tunnel terminal in Folkestone. If you\u2019re travelling in a hire car, these items typically come as standard.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But what about tyres?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.asdatyres.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/european_driving_ts860_article-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-670 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.asdatyres.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/european_driving_ts860_article-1.jpg\" alt=\"european driving ts860\" width=\"650\" height=\"428\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.asdatyres.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/european_driving_ts860_article-1.jpg 760w, https:\/\/www.asdatyres.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/european_driving_ts860_article-1-300x197.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 650px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 650\/428;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In both countries, winter tyres are compulsory \u201cin certain areas\u201d. It doesn\u2019t take a rocket scientist to work out that the mountains in winter qualify for that status. The most important thing to make clear is that chains are not a substitute for winter tyres. You will need to fit winter tyres.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Leading premium tyre manufacturer, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.asdatyres.co.uk\/continental?utm_source=asda_tyres_blog&amp;utm_campaign=winter_tyres_alps_article_2017\"><strong>Continental Tyres<\/strong><\/a>, offer an extensive range of winter tyres that are ideal for the job, providing protection to drivers in cold temperature conditions. Their latest offering is the WinterContact TS 860 S, designed and built for the most demanding cold weather and snowy conditions. If you\u2019re driving an SUV the Continental <a href=\"https:\/\/www.asdatyres.co.uk\/continental\/winter-contact-ts850p-suv?utm_source=asda_tyres_blog&amp;utm_campaign=winter_tyres_alps_article_2017\"><strong>WinterContact\u2122 TS 850 P SUV<\/strong><\/a> is also an excellent tyre to consider.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Winter tyres are \u2013 counter to most people\u2019s understanding \u2013 not just for driving on snow. The rubber composition they\u2019re made from improves grip \u2013 on dry roads too \u2013 when it\u2019s 7\u00b0C or below. And that means you\u2019re not just buying a set of winter tyres for the last few miles up the mountain to your chalet. They\u2019ll keep you safer for the whole trip.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And yes, you\u2019ll also need a set of chains.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And here\u2019s the thing we Brits get wrong most of the time \u2013 many of our compatriots put chains on at the foot of the mountain in anticipation of snowy roads ahead. We\u2019re known for it. Never do that. Why? You\u2019ll damage your tyres and your speed \u2013 and that of the cars behind you \u2013 will slow to a crawl. You\u2019ll cause traffic chaos and increase the likelihood of dangerous overtaking as other drivers get impatient.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Only ever put chains on when there\u2019s a significant amount of snow on the road \u2013 once your winter tyres can\u2019t grip, as the inclines get a bit steeper.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Next up: Switzerland and Austria<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to Switzerland and Austria, it all depends on whether you\u2019re heading east or west.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re going to a Swiss resort in the west of the country \u2013 such as Verbier or Zermatt \u2013 your route will probably take you through France, in which case make sure you\u2019ve read the previous section, above. Switzerland has more or less the same rules as France when it comes to winter tyres.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re going to the east of Switzerland \u2013 think Flims or Klosters \u2013&nbsp; or into Austria for resorts like St Anton or Lech \u2013 you\u2019ll need to drive through several countries, but you\u2019ll be on German roads most of the time.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In Germany (where Continental Tyres originates from) and Austria, winter tyres with the \u201cM+S\u201d symbol on the tyre wall are compulsory between November and April. If you\u2019re involved in a traffic accident and your car is not fitted with tyres with this symbol, irrespective of what happened you will be deemed responsible. Period. You\u2019ll also incur an extra fine if \u2013 as a result of not having winter tyres \u2013 you\u2019ve caused delays for other drivers.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>There are also huge fines \u2013 especially in Austria where they can go up to \u20ac5,000 \u2013 if you\u2019re stopped and found not to have winter tyres fitted.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.asdatyres.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/european_driving_skis_article-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-672 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.asdatyres.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/european_driving_skis_article-1.jpg\" alt=\"driving to alps skis\" width=\"650\" height=\"428\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.asdatyres.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/european_driving_skis_article-1.jpg 760w, https:\/\/www.asdatyres.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/european_driving_skis_article-1-300x197.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 650px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 650\/428;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Winter tyres aren\u2019t just for your skiing holiday<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s true.
