A good point. The chain sets are often stacked-up in the agency office in the pickup/drop-off area and obviously get swapped between vehicles. Tedious as it may be at the point when you just want to get going, it's worth checking that the chains in the boot do actually match the tyres on the vehicle.

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

Pragmatic view says "put em on" IN THE HIRE PLACE, why would you want to find out suitability WHEN YOU REALLY NEEDED THEM 
At least you can kick them/vehicle etc back while you're there if anything isn't fit for suitable use.

Drive to Les Saisies, much simple than Crest-Voland, same ski area?

Idris has a good point. Les Saisies is also likely to have better snow, so early in the season. The bottom of the Saisies slopes is about the same altitude as the top of Crest Voland.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Thanks so much to everyone here for all the spot-on advice. As a result? We're going to stick with train to Lyon airport on 26th and our friends from Albertville are now going to pick us up from there AND also take us along to Crest-Voland for the Monday. They're going to see if they can find a properly kitted-out car for us to hire from Albertille>C-V otherwise we'll take the bus for the week...

Yep, I feel I've learned a lot about that with this! And also, thanks to everyone, dodged a few potentially hefty bullets.

@BaobabPowder, Hope you have a great trip, and if you try to get a kitted out car from Europcar or someone in Albertville, even if they are seduced by the notion that the new laws aren't being enforced in 2021, remind them that your hire period extends into 2022, so whatever vehicle you get WILL need to be legal.

Legal YES enforced not before winter 2022..... SO I will not bet a lot on the ability of car rental companies to provide such equipements even into zones like Albertville.
