A ski trip to the Alps require correct tyres

If you plan to go on a skiing trip and you plan to take the car, then you will need to make sure that you have the correct tyres on your car. Depending on where in the Alps you choose to go and which way you will drive to get there will impact the tyres you can use. For the Alps you will need to have some sort of tyres that are approved for winter use.  If you will cross Germany or Poland to get there, you are not allowed to use studded tyres.

All the countries will allow you to use non-studded winter tyres, so these might be the best options.  Some places might also require that you have snow chains in the car, and they have to be used if there is heavy snowfall. You can buy snow chains in petrol station along the way in the areas where it is needed. Snow chains are fairly easy to use and to get onto your tyres. If you will need them, they will be easy to mount on any tyres. They will add extra traction when you have a lot of snow, while maybe not needed if you have winter approved, they will not make the traction worse.

If you live in an area where you might not have a real need for winter tyres during the winter season, you might want to consider the all-weather tyres that work like winter tyres during winter conditions and like summer tyres during the summer, so that they can be used all year round. This is a great choice for areas that are not dependent on winter tyres during the whole winter season, while still want to benefit from the safety of having winter tyres when there are winter conditions. It all depends on where you live and where you will drive.
