The drive into Chalet Village is a curvy mountain road with steep elevation changes. Take it slow until you get comfortable, it should only take a time or two. In times of snow, you'll need either four wheel drive or tire chains. The driveway itself is initially steep, but has a smaller incline for easy parking at the top, with room for 6 vehicles.
