Priority parking – authorization required

To ensure fair use of priority parking spaces, access is restricted to authorized personnel only. Anyone wishing to use one of these parking areas must report to reception and leave their driver's license in exchange for an authorization card, which must be clearly displayed in their vehicle. This system allows our team to maintain fair control during peak periods. A ticket may be issued for parking without a visible card.

Note that Skinouk members and seasonal pass holders do not have access to these spaces.
