Among the most popular places for this autumn holiday there is certainly the mountain, although many ski resorts are still closed. To reach some mountain resorts abroad, particularly in France and Switzerland, it is necessary go through tunnels, often requesting a toll. Furthermore, these tunnels are not infrequently subjected to maintenance interventions which may involve closures. So let’s find out the prices and possible closures for the All Saints’ weekend of the Mont Blanc tunnels Frejusof the Great Saint Bernard and the gallery Mont La Schera.

Modernization works began on the Mont Blanc tunnel in the autumn of 2023 and will be completed over the years. After a series of partial closures between April and June 2024, starting from 2 September until 16 December 2024 the tunnel will be subject to a total closure (as occurred between October and December 2023). During these 15 weeks, therefore also during the All Saints weekend, no vehicle will be able to pass through the tunnel that connects Italy, more precisely Courmayeur, to France, in particular Chamonix.

Even the road tunnel of Frejus connects Italy to France (specifically Bardonecchia to Modane). This connection will be regularly open and passable. The cost to cross it with a Class 5 vehicle (motorcycle, motorcycle with side-car, motorcycle with trailer) is 36,40 euro (45.70 euros for the return trip). Traveling through the tunnel with a Class 1 vehicle (a vehicle with two or more axles whose height, measurable at the front axle, is less than 1.30 m, and whose total height is less than or equal to 2 m) costs 55 euro (68.60 euros round trip). Class 1 vehicles include cars and cars with trailers (which must however respect the height limit of 2 metres). Crossing the Fréjus with a Class 2 vehicle (a vehicle with two axles or more axles that do not belong to Class 1 and whose total height is less than or equal to 3 m) is 72,80 euro (91.50 for the return trip). Class 2 includes cars with trailers up to 3 meters high, as well as light commercial vehicles and campers, which are also subject to the height limit. A different story however for the Fréjus railway tunnel, whose reopening is expected in the first quarter of 2025.
