Description

Au sommet du col, de chaque côté de la route, Parking tranquille la nuit, fontaine d’eau potable, sinon aucun service. Idéal pour attendre le TdF ! Ne pas utiliser les toilettes publiques pour y vider les cassettes WC chimiques...

The Camper’s take

Free parking at the top of Col du Lautaret, cleared of snow in winter. Outstanding views of the Meije and surrounding glaciers. Quiet at night despite nearby traffic. Gravel surface with uneven terrain, flat spots available. Drinking water on-site. No technical services (waste disposal, electricity). Ideal for hikers and winter mountaineering. Best visited outside peak traffic periods.

Highlights

  • Exceptional panoramic view over La Meije and the glaciers
  • Peaceful nights guaranteed despite the road being nearby
  • Parking usually cleared of snow in winter.
  • Great starting point for hikes and mountaineering

Good to know

  • Rugged, sloped gravel terrain with few level spots
  • Very cold at high altitude (extreme temperatures reported)
  • Road and weekend traffic congestion
  • No technical services (dumping, electricity, gas)

Motorhome access : Easy access, spacious gravel parking. Slightly sloped and uneven terrain—need to find a level spot. Narrow passages possible depending on layout. Maneuvering is easy on the wider spaces.
