He Christ the Redeemer International Pass It is the most important border crossing that connects both Argentina and Chile, being the busiest bi-oceanic corridor and through which thousands of vehicles circulate daily. However, during the winter, it is usually closed due to bad weather and to circulate, it is necessary to use or carry chains. In this case, take note to know if it is mandatory to carry them in case you decide to leave or enter the country.
In the last hours, the Christ the Redeemer International Pass It reopened after a storm that kept it closed for a few days. This led to many people having to suspend their trip and postpone it. It is known that during the winter, it is not safe for the border crossing to remain open 24 hours a day and that in a matter of hours, the tunnel will be completely closed.
He Christ the Redeemer Pass It is open from 9 in the morning and is enabled for all types of vehicles. In addition, the opening hours until next May 31 will be 24 hours a day; but from June 1 the hours will be from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on the Argentine side, while in our country it will be from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. If you want to pass, you have to meet a series of requirements.
One of the big questions for those who want to cross the Christ the Redeemer Pass is whether the use of chains in vehicles. In relation to this, carrying is not the same as use. This element is required by the National Gendarmerie to be able to cross in the snow and during the most “hostile” months, they confirmed that the use of chains is now mandatory.
The carrying of chains It refers to the fact that you must carry it inside your vehicle and that at any time, it may be requested by the authorities to be placed in the vehicle because the road may be slippery. Meanwhile, the use alludes to the fact that they must be placed.
