For people heading into the mountains the key car park is the one at the Alpe Arera, at 1,600 metres, at the end of the road that climbs from Plassa: it costs 4 euros a day for any vehicle, with the ticket bought before driving up, and the road is open only from spring to autumn. In the centre, in summer, the council regulates parking with the parking disc.
Rules change with the seasons and with events and are set by mayor's orders published on the online noticeboard: the reopening and closing of the road to the Alpe Arera, the summer parking disc on via Roma and Piazzale degli Alpini, and temporary parking bans for markets and festivals.

The paid car park at 1,600 metres is the closest to the Capanna 2000 hut, about an hour's walk away. In 2026 the road from Plassa reopened from 22 April, with a 30 km/h limit, a ban on vehicles over 3.5 tonnes and a ban on roadside parking; in winter 2025-26 it was closed to all vehicles from 18 November.
When the road is closed you park at Plassa, at the start of the climb: the car park next to the Camping Arera is entrusted by the council to the campsite operator, who also clears the snow. All the details are on the Alpe Arera car park page.
In summer 2026 a mayor's order imposed the parking disc from 4 July to 6 September, every day from 8.00 to 20.00: in the car parks on via Roma between numbers 189 and 195, 201 and 296, 439 and 492 the maximum stay was one hour, on Piazzale degli Alpini two hours. In 2025 a similar order applied from 5 July to 7 September. For the rest of the year these rules do not apply, unless new orders are issued.
On via Capriana, opposite number 120, there is a public car park linked to the centre by a flight of steps, which an order of December 2023 reserved, with a permit, for residents and shopkeepers of via Roma between numbers 201 and 325.
At the pass OpenStreetMap shows a free public car park along the road and, next to it, an area reserved for customers of the Al Trapper restaurant. The pages on the trails and the Adventure Park each say where to leave the car for that starting point.
For markets, festivals and roadworks the council issues parking-ban orders, often with towing. Among those published on the noticeboard: in the car parks on via Roma between numbers 270 and 284 on 8, 27 and 28 December 2024 and 5 January 2025, in 2025 for the summer market and the youth festival on 1 August, and in 2026 on 14 and 21 February. If you leave your car in the centre on those days, check the signs and the noticeboard.
