Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Super stuff. Btw I think Bolzano is only 30 mins from a bunch of Dolomite resorts.

Yep, sounds very handy for Val Gardena, but...
-only starts 5 Feb, the season is half over!
-cheapest fare I saw is €119 one way, but that is sharing a 6 person couchette with a bunch of strangers! Smell that in the morning!
-departs Brussels, so you need to add on the cost of a Eurostar from London to Brussels, even more if you're out of London.
-odd departure days, couldn't seem to find anything that would allow a week duration??
-arrival in Bolzano is 11am, so by the time you transfer to resort, get equipment, lift passes, etc you'll be lucky to get a few laps in...
...kinda defeats the object of doing an overnight train!

Its of a degree of interest to me as we have family in Brussels and keep trying to ski with them which invariably drags me away from the Dolomites and down to Bourg St Maurice type options which are also served by a train. Not sure it makes huge sense at that money though. I'd expect to fly and drive to the door of accommodation at that money.

Mentioned by @luigi in another thread getting to Dantercepies from Colfoscovo used to involve 3 or 4drag lifts (two very long ones).
From the days when doing the Sella Ronda was a proper adventure not the busy round-a-bout it is today..

What I remember from our first visit was the number of times you needed to take your skis off to cross roads on the various passes.
The main one I can think of now is at Compolongo?
There used to be a long drag there heading towards Arabba.
There has been mindboggling amounts of investment over the years.
