 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi,
I'm heading out to Bourg st Maurice on the 19th of Dec and will need to park the car over the weekend (til the 22-23rd) and was wondering if anyone knows if there is free parking anywhere in town?
I've heard you've got to pay for the funicular car park this year, so does anyone know if there is anywhere else?
If not how much is it going to cost to park the car for about 5 days?
I've tried les arcs website but can't seem to find any information 
Thanks

I'm not aware of any free parking in the town centre, apart from on Sundays. Yes the funicular car park is now chargeable - see http://pistehors.com/news/ski/comments/0863-urban-toll-for-les-arcs/ for more detailed info, but there's a suggestion on there of 'proactive disobediance' which as we know les francais are quite good at - be interesting to see what actually happens this season. Can't imagine it' can be more than a couple of euro each day but we shall see.
Have you tried the BSM tourist info office?

Mc Donalds sounds good, do they not get slighlty annoyed if you stay overnight? would it also be possible to park at one of the supermarkets? Then we could swap between them if one gets annoyed 
Is it possible just to park on a street somewhere or are there parking meters?

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

The car park at McDonalds is a general car park shared with a sports store and an electrical shop (IIRC) rather than being McDonalds own. I can't see that there would be a problem parking there.

Not sure if this charge thing is going to really happen, lot's of locals are very unhappy about the idea. You can always park just outside the car park. It is quite a walk from Mc Donalds car park to the funic in ski gear.

I don't necessarily need a car park right in the centre of town. I'm going for the season but driving down on the 19th with a friend. I've got an apartment and ski locker sorted (but no garage/parking place), so basicly just need somewhere to leave the car for a few days before my friend drives home.

Agree with previous posts, the big car park by Sport 2000 (formerly Twinner) and McDonalds is the place to park. Shouldn't have any hassles there.
