Keep in mind that in winter, the road conditions can be challenging, so it's crucial to be well-prepared. Ensure your car has a full tank of fuel and stock up on warm clothes, food, and drinks. It's also important to have appropriate winter tires (either studded or non-studded) and the necessary driving skills for snowy and cold conditions.
