Meribel road report

 Meribel road report
Snow chains - often neccessary!
Snow chains - often neccessary!
We have compiled some useful information on driving in the resort, whether you will be hiring a car from the airport, or driving your own vehicle from the UK.

When driving in the Alps you should ensure your vehicle is properly equipped. If you are heading to the mountains in a hire car you should always request winter tyres. Snow-chains are a neccessary precaution. If you are driving your own car check out Skidrive.co.uk for equipment.

If you are looking for a good route planner we regularly use ViaMichelin, and their map features road works and fixed speed-camera details as well.

Radarsfixes.com is seemingly the most up-to-date resource for details of France's fixed speed camera locations, also detailed on a region-by-region map
Meribel local road report

Last Updated: Wednesday 18th August 2010 13:44:02

Weekend Traffic Status: RED (Delays expected at peak times) : this means traffic jams between Lyon and Moutiers. If you are travelling from Geneva or Annecy, there are likely to be delays from Ugine to Moutiers, especially 11a.m.to 16.00p.m so be prepared and try to avoid these times to enter the area. We recommend travelling early in the morning or very late afternoon.

Normal Busy Delays expected at peak times Heavy congestion throughout region

Resort Roads: Clear

Snow Chains: Chains are not currently required in this resort. Please note: carrying snow chains in your car is essential in mountain resorts, whatever the weather, as driving conditions can change suddenly.

Access Roads: Clear

Auto Routes: Weekends (and in particular, Saturdays) can be very busy on the roads leading to the Alps during the winter season. You can plan to miss the most congested days by consulting the French traffic site Bison Futé which gives masses of useful information on the French roads, inlcuding a long-range forecast of the busy days to avoid.

Watch out for increasing numbers of speed cameras in the region. The latest to be installed are as follows:
Albertville, eastbound N90 approaching town (limit 90km/hr)
Between Annecy and Albertville on the N508 at Faverges and Ugine (limit 90km/hr).

Mobile radars are now also found in unmarked police vehicles operating in the region.
For details of all the cameras to be found on your route, do check out Radarsfixes.com which has up-to-date information of all speed cameras in France.

Road Closures: Route de la Montee closed to traffic at the Chaudanne end. Two-way traffic allowed from the Tourist Office end.

Forecast: Sunny
