We would recommend that you invest in a good pair of snow chains before you set off, the gendarmerie are known to stop cars without them if the conditions are particularly bad. Before setting off it may be worth thinking about avoiding Paris and taking the route via Reims instead. It’s motorway most all the way but for precise directions it’s best you check the route with www.viamichelin.com. On arrival in resort there is underground parking available at the Maeva underground car park, however this is availability permitting. There is also free outdoor parking available in the resort.
