Messages Location london Vehicle T6. I always do the driving myself and in one day but we'll have a proper lunch stop and after I've eaten I'll have a nap whilst the family do something else.
I always use winter tyres but there are all season tyres now with the 3 peak mountain snowflake and I think they're pretty good. If you do end up needing chains you probably won't need them until the last few kilometres, if that - they're usually pretty good at ploughing the roads but, m is pretty high so do definitely take chains - Gendarmes will make you put them on in the layby in Bourg St Maurice if conditions are bad.
That's referring to 'conventional' chains - because they wrap around the back of the tyre and could foul the suspension etc. I run 20" tyres so have to use this kind anyway. The one time I did, it just took twice as long but I was the same degree of knackered.
