Based on Alps2Alps drivers\u2019 experience, here\u2019s a list of things you must have in your car if you plan on driving in the Alps in winter.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><strong>First aid kit <\/strong>&#8211; in many European countries, it is the law to have one in your car;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Snow chains<\/strong> \u2013 it is also a legal obligation to have these if you\u2019re driving through mountains. And (this is essential) \u2013 try them at home! Our drivers experienced many traffic jams in Alps, caused by someone trying to put\u00a0snow chains on \u00a0his car\u00a0for very first time!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Scraper <\/strong>for your windscreen;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bulb set <\/strong>if you happen to have a broken light;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Warning triangle<\/strong> and <strong>high visibility jacket<\/strong>;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Torch<\/strong>;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Shovel<\/strong>;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tow rope<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Fasten and protect your skiing equipment<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you\u2019re taking your own skiing equipment with you, the safest and cheapest option is to store it in your car\u2019s salon. But this might reduce your company \u2013 folding down at least one back seat is inevitable.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Our experienced drivers recognise roof box as the safest option to transport your skiing equipment. But if you\u2019re not up for investing in one, a ski rack might be the best for you. Be sure to fasten your equipment safely and don\u2019t forget about covering it. Dirt, mud and salt (slippery roads in Europe are often scattered with salt) can get to your skis and snowboards and damage them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Not an owner of skiing equipment? Well, you can always rent some at your ski resort or \u2013 there\u2019s even a better and more convenient option \u2013 make a stop at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alps2alps.com\/ski-rental\/\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Alps2Alps ski shop<\/span><\/a> when driving through the Alps! It\u2019s located just 15 minutes away from Geneva airport and is really close to Alpine ski areas like Chamonix and The 3 Valleys.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>General rules and information<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Drive on the right<\/strong>! This might seem odd to a continental European, but if you\u2019re from the UK, you know it\u2019s important to remind yourself now and then that you must keep to your right when driving outside Great Britain. Especially when you\u2019re driving through mountains and you\u2019re the only one on the road.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Traffic might be busy<\/strong>. Start your trip early, because you might get stuck in a traffic jam! Alps2Alps drivers confirm that critical days are the weekends and pre-holidays. You can avoid heavy traffic by choosing mid-week to start your journey.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.alps2alps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Alps2Alps-driving-in-the-Alps-1.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1733 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.alps2alps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Alps2Alps-driving-in-the-Alps-1-1024x728.png\" alt=\"Alps2Alps-driving in the Alps (1)\" width=\"785\" height=\"558\" data-srcset=\"http:\/\/testwp.alps2alps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Alps2Alps-driving-in-the-Alps-1.png 1024w, http:\/\/testwp.alps2alps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Alps2Alps-driving-in-the-Alps-1-300x213.png 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 785px) 100vw, 785px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 785px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 785\/558;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1733\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alps2alps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Alps2Alps-driving-in-the-Alps-1-1024x728.png\" alt=\"Alps2Alps-driving in the Alps (1)\" width=\"785\" height=\"558\" srcset=\"http:\/\/testwp.alps2alps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Alps2Alps-driving-in-the-Alps-1.png 1024w, http:\/\/testwp.alps2alps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Alps2Alps-driving-in-the-Alps-1-300x213.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 785px) 100vw, 785px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Be careful during a snowfall when driving through the Alps<\/strong>.
