Mountain Law 2026: hit the Alpine roads with complete peace of mind thanks to Europcar Mont-Blanc

Winter in the mountains is stunning… provided you have the right equipment!

To ensure driver safety and keep traffic moving smoothly during snowfalls, the French Mountain Law (Loi Montagne) requires specific equipment across much of the country's mountain ranges.

The good news? With Europcar Mont-Blanc, there's no need to worry: 100% of our passenger vehicle fleet is equipped with 4 winter tires throughout the entire winter season.

That means total peace of mind, highly valued by our local customers and holidaymakers exploring our mountains alike.

What is the Mountain Law?

From November 1st to March 31st, driving in designated mountain regions requires winter-ready equipment.

To travel through affected areas, your vehicle must feature either:

• Approved winter tires

• Snow chains or snow socks stored in the vehicle

This regulation aims to improve road safety and prevent traffic gridlock during snowy or icy conditions.
