 Poster: A snowHead
|
We’re travelling to Val d’Isere this weekend, we normally catch the train but this time decided to drive however I forgot to book any car parking  I’ve managed to get some from Monday 21st but none of the public car parks have any spaces available online for the 19/20th weekend. Does anyone know if there are any alternative short stay car parks available as the ones online are all long stay or have a parking space they’re not using for those 2 days that I could rent? it would be from late on the Saturday until midnight on the Sunday or preferably Monday morning. Any help or other ideas gratefully received! Thanks

The short stay car parks should have availability from mid am on the Saturday as tourist leave… probably.

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

Millie1,
You could park for free in Tignes Les Boisses then ski to Val D'Isere  .

Very limited spaces there nowadays, so could be full during February. Could have an even longer ski back to Val D by parking at the big free car park at Tignes Les Brevieres.

I’m loving the skiing ideas! Not sure sure how well it would work at 10pm with kids though 
@Steve Angus, do the long stay car parks have a separate short stay section then? Would I just drive in the same way?

Currently all the Val d’Isere car parks have space, I have a view of the car park information board near the Funival from our apartment.
When the spaces become limited it advises how many are available in each car park.
Generally the only times it shows complet are Christmas/New Year and during the race weekends.
What car park are you booked into and I’ll check the board on Saturday.

Wow @muppet, you’re amazing! We’re booked into La Daille from Mon-Sat but the Parking du centre is closer for us but to be honest we’ll take anywhere! Thanks so much x

Yes you just drive in to them as normal - all spaces are 'equal' when inside so to speak

We were driving out of the Tarrentaise at the start of the school holidays and looking at the huge queue of traffic coming in. My wife asked the obvious question "where are they going to put all those cars?"

@Millie1, All car parks in Val d’Isere currently have space according to the board.
|

You know it makes sense.
|
|
Thanks @muppet, we finally made it up the mountain and there were still plenty of spaces! No idea why we couldn’t book it in advance. Storm Eugene and half-term traffic all made for an interesting journey but we managed to make it here just in time to get out for some pizza (and wine!) thanks so much for your help.
