Alpine A110 at Val Thorens: Pic of the Week

Back by popular demand, the A110 on ice

If you’ve ever used winter tyres on snow, you’ll know just how effective they can be. Yet only a tiny minority of motorists in Britain go to the trouble of making the swap in colder months, hence the reason our roads grind to a halt at the first sight of powder.

For those who do prepare their cars correctly, however, snowfall needn’t be a problem. In fact, it can be quite the opposite – as we were reminded on a recent ice driving trip to Val Thorens. With an Alpine A110 wearing WRC-spec studded tyres at our disposal, the merits – and hilarity – of driving on snow with such impressive boots were clear to see.
