How to correctly fit snow chains on your vehicle
-
Correct fitting chains must always be carried during the
official snow season in any alpine area; note that four-wheel drive vehicles are
not exempt from this rule
-
Chains must be fitted at the designated chain fitting bays or
when directed by resort staff
-
Chains should be fitted in pairs as follows:
» Front wheel drive - fit chains on front
wheels
» Rear wheel drive - fit chains on rear
wheel drive
» Four-wheel drive - fit chains on front
wheels
What is the correct axle position of snow chains on 4-wheel
drive vehicles?
A four-wheel drive with all 4 wheels engaged should have the chains at least
fitted to the front wheels to assist both with steering and traction. The only
exception to the fitting of chains to the front wheels is when the vehicle
manufacturer specifically states in the owner's manual that snow chains can only
be fitted to the rear wheels because of under body or suspension clearance
requirements.
