It is essential to park the day before at the Carrets car park (at the bottom of Les Saisies). Follow the D123 past Bisanne 1500, then into Villard sur Doron. On leaving the village, fork right onto the D925 to reach Albertville aux Adoubes, passing Queige and Venthon beforehand. You can park in the Pierre Grange car park.
You can also take the opposite route from Albertville to Les Saisies to cheer on the runners.
