The city is extremely popular with winter sports fans and hiking lovers, so it can get quite busy. If you’re planning to stay in the city, then a small car, such as a Chevrolet Spark, is a good option; it will make parking easier. However, if you want to go out and explore the mountainous surroundings, you will need something a little tougher. For instance, a Hyundai Tucson offers great handling as well as superior grip on steep terrain and the ability to drive on most surfaces with ease.
