Getting around the resort In line with the founding principles of our organisation, priority will be given to pedestrians for the entire World Cup period. Where possible, we would therefore ask you to keep your car journeys to a strict minimum. To help you achieve this, the Organisation Committee is providing free shuttles across the whole resort. Team parking A number of parking places will be allocated to each National Ski Association: At hotels: - outside the hotel, in accordance with its own rules - inside the garages - spaces reserved for technicians only. Near the Slalom Stadium: Two parking spaces will be reserved for each teams. They are located near the stadium, and are only accessible on presentation of the special badge. Access to the course The site is accessible on skis via a range of ski lifts: Chenus gondola, Plantret chair lift and Loze drag lift (reserved for athletes and technicians), and is also accessible on foot from La Croisette - 10 minutes (see Technical course map p.14). It is possible to ski to the competition area from all the hotels. The ski lifts from the hotels will be open from 7.00 in the morning on competition days so that you can ski to the course. A parking space is also reserved for you at the competition site, but you only have access on presentation of the vehicle pass issued by the team host. However, we advise that you should only take up this option if you have to transport equipment. Skidoo shuttles can also be provided on competition days for technicians only. 14
