Car Parks and Transport
Car Parks
Val d'Isère wishes to highlight the protection of the environment during the World Championships period. As a result, motor vehicle use is to be restricted within the village for each accreditation category. Every team must reduce its vehicle requirements to a strict minimum. Car parking spaces for federations will be allotted first and foremost in hotels; some extra spaces will be reserved in Val d'Isère's underground car parks according to the quotas. You will very shortly be receiving information concerning your allotted quotas.
