 Poster: A snowHead
|
Dear Snowheads,
Sorry if this has been asked previously on the forum, but a search did not seem to turn up anything relevent...
Looking for some tips for driving to Puy St Vincent, for instance ;
From Lyon, do you usually go East, through the toll tunnel, via Montgenevre, or West via Grenoble ?
Many thanks.
Steve

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

When are you travelling, day of week and time?
Just that could affect your options if coming out in the next three to four weeks.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Thanks for your swift reply.
We are travelling this Friday morning, getting the Eurotunnel on Friday afternoon, and driving through, stopping overnight, and arriving Saturday late afternoon.

Your best option is to buy a reduced rate Frejus tunnel ticket and then go over Montgenevre and then on to Puy.
Next option if forecast is for no snow is to take the route de secours to La Grave and over the Lautaret. All the signs will say that the road is closed so it is a little unnerving, but a friend did it late last Sat in a taxi from Lyon!
If you're not under any time pressure and as you are driving to Puy then you could go via Gap which can be a little longer but again you'll be closer to Puy coming up that way and turn off at Argentierre.

You'll need to Register first of course.

Thanks for your reply, we will go with your suggestion of using the Frejus tunnel, where do we purchase a "Reduced rate" ticket ?

@snowysteve, mine were bought from Serre Chevalier website, but you have to be staying in Serre CHevalier to buy one from there. You need proof of your accommodation. I had a look on the Puy website, but can't see them available on there. I know Montgenevre were offering them too.

Route de secours is fine, I did it both ways on Friday. ATM it's closed 21.30 to 05.00 Mon to Fri but I think open 24h at weekends.
