 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi all
Heading to Montgenevre soon & I'm a bit confused about the lift passes.
Hoping to get a full Milky Way pass for 6 days, including Sestriere, Sauze d'Oulx etc.
On the Montgenevre website that's the 400km Via Lactea pass at €240, yes?
The confusion is caused by their cheaper 'Monts de la Lune' pass, at €208, which allows a free half day on transfer day, but also by the fact our tour operator sell a pass called Galaxie, which is also mentioned on the Montgenevre website, and has free days in other French resorts, but is not referenced anywhere so I don't know how much it costs.
That would mean our tour operator don't sell the full area pass, which seems a bit strange to me.

OK ....
The Milky Way pass gives you Monty, Claviere, Cesana, Sansicario, Sauze, Sestriere. It in cludes Grancde Galaxie, which allows you one day each in Puy St Vincent, Serre Che, 2Alpes and Alpe d'Huez.
The Monts de Lune is pretty much just Montgenevre and Claviere. Might go as far as Cesana, can't remember.

With the mont de la lune you get as above,but also 1 free day to go over to sauce or sestriere or you can use the 1 day for serre chevalier, this is the one we normally get.

Monts de la Lune is plenty for one week, especially if you spend a day in SC as well; the links to the rest of the Milky Way from Montgenevre are not the most convenient, but worth it if you have a car and covering distance is your thing. Have a great time, Montgenevre is excellent

Thanks all - very helpful.
Lizzard, on the full Milky way pass, when you say one day 'each' does that mean I can do, for example, Tuesday in St Vincent, Weds in 2 Alpes, Thurs in Alpe d'Huez? Or is it once I've used my away day up on one resort, that's it? Will likely have access to a car, so that could be useful.
And on that Milky Way pass, do you also get the free half day (on a 6 day pass) that you get on the Monts de la Lune pass? If so, we'll make a dash for the ticket office when we arrive to get that first afternoon in free.

The Via Lattea pass allows you to ski across the whole Milky Way 6 days a week. It's not really worth it.
The Monts de la Lune pass gives you 1 day in each of the resorts mentioned. So yes, you can ski Monday Montgenevre and Claviere, Tuesday in Sestriere and Sauze, , Weds in 2 Alpes, Thurs in Alpe d'Huez, Friday in Serre Chevalier. That still leaves Bardonecchia and Puy St Vincent.
Although, because of distances I would leave out 2 Alpes and Alpe d'Huez.

We are intending on mainly staying in the Monte / Claviere area but we really want to maybe take a day and cover some serious ground and head over to the Milky Way.
Am i right in saying we can do this if we buy the normal Monte Pass as it gives you one day Milky Way?

Right, the Monts de la lune lift pass for 6 days will allow you to ski montgenevre and Claviere all 6 days.
It allows you 1 free day in either of the other Via Lattea resorts, so once you have had your free day that is it
In January that was the lift pass we had and we used our free day to ski over to Saux d'oulx, and will be doing the same in two weeks time ( woohooo )
or you could go to Sestriere, or Serre Chevalier, I think you have to drive to serre as you cannot do it by links ( but I might be wrong on that as never been to Serre )
Hope that helps
