The evaluation is done as follows

Access, Parking Auron (Saint-Etienne-de-Tinée)

The journey from the A8 motorway (near Nice) to the ski area is just under 80 km. At first, the roads are still dual carriageways. After that, the roads are not as well developed. You can reach the valley station of the La Pinatelle gondola lift via the main road without any significant inclines. Getting to the parking facilities in Auron is a bit more challenging. Here, guests have to tackle some steeper inclines by car. These can become quite problematic in snowy conditions.

Access via A8, La Provençale, exit 52 Nice-Saint-Isidore
