5. A map of the car parks available in Bouveret can be found in the roadbook or on the “access” page. Road signs will be placed in the Bouveret to find you there. The official SwissPeaks car park costs 5CHF/day and shuttle buses (see timetable in the roadbook) will take you to the Bussien platform/ train station. Parking can be paid by credit card (select the amount before putting the credit card) Ask the info point for the instructions for use of parking meters.
6. Repatriations: please note the different drop-off points (= points with a time barrier) and read the rules carefully regarding drop-off procedures. In case of abandonment, it is imperative to announce yourself immediately to a person of the organisation (at the abandonment post) and to give back your GPS tracker and timing chip. In which case you will be charged 150 euros. Any runner who misses the call for more than an hour, will cause the triggering of searches. If you do not announce yourself and searches are carried out, the costs incurred will be at your expense.
