Winter tires must have an 'M+S', 'M&S', or Alpine-Symbol (snowflake symbol) marking. They need a minimum tread depth of 4 mm for radial tires or 5 mm for diagonal tires.
Snow chains must be used when indicated by the blue, round snow chain sign, or if the road is almost continuously covered with snow or ice. They must be fitted to at least two driving wheels.
Simple violations can result in a fine of 35 Euros. However, if a serious hazard is caused due to inadequate winter equipment, fines can be up to 5,000 Euros.
