UK to Meribel by Road Travel.

Many thanks to UK.Weather.com for the road travel weather reports.

10 Day Weather Forecasts for journey planning. Personally we would advise Calais-Reims unless you particularly want to visit Paris. It is quicker and easier. It is about 600 miles so allow approx 8-10 hours + stops. Road tolls come to about 45 quid each way. But worth it. Diesal is about 20% cheaper in France if you buy in a supermarket before hitting the autoroute.Petrol is similar as the UK. Make sure you have a warning triangle for breakdown. French motorway cafes are quite good standard and open 24 hours.

Just click on each town for it's own individual weather forecast for your journey. Use the Michelin Guide to plan your route in detail.
Beware: Speed cameras are installed in all motorway tunnels! In france it is an instant fine, absolutely no excuses! They will even escort you to the nearest cash point for payment or confiscate your car. They MUST give you an official receipt.
The speed limit is 130 km but is sensibly reduced in bad weather.

In heavy snow chains are compulsory for Meribel even with a 4 wheel drive. Police will NOT let you start the climb up the mountain without them. Practise putting them on and off a few times in daylight and nice weather!!

Fuel is cheapest in Moutiers just before you climb the mountain. Garage with the yellow sign on your right 500m after turning off the main road. It also has VERY hygenic toilets. After that there is just one garage in Meribel with erratic opening hours but it does now take English credit cards in the automatic 24 hr pay machine.

Put anti freeze in your diesel in December and January. It can go to minus 30c in Meribel at night. Garage diesel is ok only to minus 20c.You can buy the additive in all garages.
