Parking: Parking will be as normal on the east and west sides. We encourage guests who live in the mountains to take the lift down. It's important to allow plenty of time before the races. There will also be parking available in the finish area.
Lifts: If you are going to use the lift down to see the races from the finish area, we recommend allowing PLENTY of time. The same applies to the return up the mountain. On Friday 20. and Saturday 21. March, the following lifts will run until 17.30: A, B, C, M and N (we remind you that it is not allowed to take the lift in a visibly intoxicated state).
