 Poster: A snowHead
|
Bit confused by the parking arrangements in Alpe D'huez
I see on the website there's payed covered parking , and some on street parking but you need a blue disc , but can only park for 90 minutes 9.30 am to noon and from 2.30 pm to 7.30 pm.
Also list free car parking in certain areas
How can you tell if its a blue badge parking area or a normal free Area
Also in the bottom on the town in the L'eclose area there lots of apartment buildings with large car parks or lots of street parking , would this be free parking for anyone or reserved for the apartment buildings.
thanks

Not sure about the blue disc idea, these are the signs in Eclose, it's so you can park to go to shop, cafe etc. https://www.google.com/maps/@45.0874416,6.0680383,3a,15y,47.52h,98.79t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1s-uuHjF9k-H7x583vPdXJ_w!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fs
Your first from the left red arrow is indeed free parking but it gets full in busy periods.
The middle red arrow is the same place as your street view image, it used to be private parking for that block but it's now free public. Again rammed in busy times.
I think the right hand red arrow is private for that block of apartments but there is / was some free parking opposite behind the sports centre, on the remnants of the old ice driving track.
If you are staying the week, it's possible you will have to park your car some way away from where you are staying after dropping your luggage. If you arrive earlier on a Saturday you stand a better chance of nabbing a space after someone has left for home.
Parking in ADH gets more difficult every year as they build more apartment blocks on the car parks......

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

Thanks @skitow,
So im guessing you can park for free in most of the bays with white lines but the blue bays have the restrictions
2 of the 4 apartments im looking at have parking spaces apparently , so hopefully wont be a problem . We are arriving Friday around 1pm ish , so hoping to miss the Saturday congestion ??

Yes, that's how I understand it. Arriving Friday will certainly help. To put it into perspective I have never failed to find somewhere near our place in Eclose, that has no parking of it's own just a drop off / unloading bay. I try not to use the car in the week anyway.
Alpe d'Huez is an easy place to get around even if you have to dump the car some way away anyway.
It has got more difficult though as they have built appartments on parking ares and not replaced them. When / if they do build a cable car from Bourg d'Oisans I would be quite happy to leave my car down there. Appreciate that is not the same for someone on a single week holiday.
