Mountain driving:

Advice from the Serre-Palas hotel to ensure you have an excellent trip to our region.

-The mountain road is not a circuit

-Be careful in curves to the left, not to encroach on the opposite lane

-Attention on a inside curves, cyclists, pedestrians, objects (stones, etc.) will be there

-Be careful in the pins curves risk of slipping (diesel, oil, etc.)

-Fill up with gasoline before the passes for small tanks bike

-Climatic conditions can change quickly in the mountains (snow, rain, hail, cold, wind)

-Beware of tunnels: visibility at the entrance and exit, humidity, potholes, etc.

-Beware of crossing a bridge and bends close to a torrent: humidity, ice in cold weather.

-And look after animals crossing roads.
