Please be aware that road conditions can be treacherous in winter, and that previous experience of driving mountain roads in snow and ice is strongly recommended - if you don't have that experience, please consider taking a shuttle or private service with professional driver.

All vehicles traveling to the area in winter must be fully winterized - winter or good-condition all-season tyres, winter windscreen fluid, chains* in the trunk, etc.

Driving a four-wheel- or all-wheel-drive, or a sports-utility vehicle, does not guarantee that you'll stay on the road.

Remember that you're on vacation, and take the time to enjoy the scenery!

* Not all chains fit all wheels - make sure that your vehicle has the correct size chains before heading out. Also, be sure you know how to install chains before you hit the road because putting chains on can be tricky, especially when your fingers are cold and its dark out! Take the time to practice before departing - the staff at car rental outlets will be pleased to assist if you need help.
