What can change: The routing baseline does not model weather, temporary restrictions or the final guesthouse approach. Recheck locally and avoid a late arrival.

01

Mountain weather and local road access can change; reconfirm with your accommodation before departure.

02

A pre-booked shared transfer can be simpler than keeping a rental car parked in the valley, but availability is seasonal.
