4x4 snow recovery in the mountains near Chamonix — difficult-access breakdown recovery by SkyRoute Auto

Safety first

Off the line of traffic, high-vis vest, no dangerous parking on a slippery carriageway. Describe snow, ice, gradient, and whether the vehicle has already slid.

Equipment and 4x4

Depending on the job: flatbed, 4x4, strapping. Photos of the road and the vehicle are essential. Chains or winter tyres already fitted: say so.

Areas concerned

Chamonix and the valley, Annecy mountains, Chablais roads, Thonon… See the zone hub pages and the difficult access / 4x4 service.
