 Poster: A snowHead
|
I'm about to board my flight to Munich from Boston, then driving to selva val gardena via innsbruck.
First time I'm going this route, will I need chains? Rental car is supposed to have winter tires.
Thanks
Ted

From my limited experience on that route, normally no. The route is mostly autobahn over the Brenner Pass, which is also autobahn/autostrada. There are a few miles on a valley road, off the autstrada, to Selva. Unless hit by severe weather the roads should clear, but the forecast for the region in the coming days is settled. Your car should be supplied with winter tyres at no extra charge. Winter tyres do provide excellent grip on hard packed snow surfaces. Your route is a main European North/South route and is very heavily trafficked so surfaces should bare tarmac.
That could be your main problem- traffic congestion at certain times.
Others on the forum could give you more details.

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

@nosefacekilla, one other thing, road signs, that area of Italy, if you didn't know, is German speaking and some place names are different in German from the Italian, so Selva Val Gardena (Italian) is Wolkenstein Groden (German).

Was about to say that you've driven through all the snow to get to where they've hardly had any.
