The evaluation is done as follows
Access, Parking Auron (Saint-Etienne-de-Tinée)
It's 80 km from the Autobahn A8 exit (near Nice) to the ski resort. At the beginning, the roads have two lanes in each direction, but afterwards, they are narrower. The base station of the La Pinatelle circulating gondola lift can be accessed via the main road without much of an incline. The access to the parking lots in Auron is a bit trickier. Guests must drive up some steep sections in order to get there, which can cause problems when snow has fallen.
