Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

AlpineAddict, Chamonix is in France, you only need motorway vignettes in Switzerland and Austria.

Other stuff you need that I can think of: reflective jackets, spare bulbs, insurance cert, MOT cert, spare specs if you wear them.

Spare specs?? Wasn't aware that was a requirement in France.

OP other things you legally will need are chains (or socks) V5, drivers licence - all orginals and not copies.

The reflective jacket has to be inside the car seating area somewhere, not in the boot

AlpineAddict, There are some things that are legally required but not much use and other thing which are not legally required but a good idea to have. Chains and strong sreenwash being two.

No, generally there wouldn't be. But sometimes when conditions are really bad police stop people without chains from proceeding. That happens quite often in some places - don't know how often it would apply in Chamonix. If your accommodation was up a hill it could be the only way to get there, though.

Is a First Aid kit compulsory too?
