 Poster: A snowHead

Anyone know if the big open air car parks down near the bottom of Moutiere/Caron/Cairn etc are still free in the winter or are they charging €13 a day there as per the covered car parks up high??
Cheers

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

just up for a day... sadly the valtho site is pretty slim on info (as in where the actual car parks are)... have always parked down the bottom in the past, but gather they have tightened things up since then

There's a free car open air, roadside car park at Les Menuires. It's on the the right side of the main road as you drive up. You can ski to and from it too. We've used it a couple of times when stying in Val T.
Will suss out more precise details if any interest - Bergemeister's hire car is there even as I type, so I can text him to provide better directions if required.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Went over there today on the Plein Sud lift - the open air car park looked like it was barrier entry/exit which suggests they do charge.
When I came back over to Orelle yesterday, a guy was skiing down with a big bag - can't believe he was putting himself through that to park in the free Orelle car park

Maybe he was avoiding a 3 hour car journey, or a 12 hour train/bus ride.

Fair point - wow I've had some close shaves getting he last lift over having spent too long skiing and lunching in Courchevel ! Never mind not the end of the world having to have a night out in VT if it ever came to it . . . . . .

As stated above, we usually park at Les Menuires next to the lifts to La Masse.
The car park is uncovered, free of charge and has been extended this year. There was loads of space at New year and it's (more or less) ski in/ski out 
I'm not entirely sure about the car park at Cairn/Caron in Val T. I don't think there's a barrier on it so, in principle, it should be ok to park there for a week.
