Excellent delta,
Glad to hear that you recommend the hotel, and if you've been before then you'll be elected ski guide for the first day piste virgins !!
Looking forward to it already

Hi @delta,
Seem like quite a few return customers which is always a good sign.
Our flight from Bristol gets in to Turin at about 09.45 so hoping to be in the hotel mid day ish and then try to get afternoon on the slopes. Guessing we can walk over to the lift opposite and get a half day pass ?

Hello everyone!!! Yes it's possible to ski on the first afternoon. We've done it before, half day lift pass costs about 25 euros ish (I think??). Even if you just stay on the Champoluc side for the afternoon it's well worth it because its so quiet and perfectly groomed long sweeping slopes great to get your legs in on the first day!! Crystal rep also does ski guiding on the first day if you want to join in, but honestly, the place is very easy to navigate - you can get right across Champoluc, gressoney & Alagna & back easily in a day with plenty of pasta & bombardino breaks!! Hotel is perfectly located - out of the boot room and across the driveway then you're at the bottom of the piste. Great hotel, very friendly, good food, clean & warm rooms & a bath!!! Great for aching legs!!! Really looking forward to it and to meeting everyone - just need to get fit!!!

Hi mike South west!! Woohoo!!! Snow - been checking all week!!! The webcam is at the top of the first gondola out of the village, this is where ski school meets. Probably no snow right down in town just yet, but looking very promising!! By the way, you'll probably meet the local golden retriever - we christened him Snow Dog - he quite often jumps in the first gondola with you then hangs out at the ski school & cafes for most of the day!!
