Given the mountainous region and the possibility of encountering snow or icy conditions, having an All-Wheel Drive (AWD) or 4WD vehicle can provide better traction and stability. These vehicles distribute power to all wheels, enhancing grip on slippery surfaces. Moreover, Sport Utility Vehicles (SUVs) or crossovers are popular choices in mountainous areas due to their higher ground clearance and robust construction. If you are visiting Briançon during the winter but prefer a smaller car, you can opt for a compact car equipped with winter tyres, which provide enhanced grip on snow and ice, improving the vehicle's performance in wintry conditions.
