 Poster: A snowHead
|
As the trip draws nearer, I'd like to ask for a little advice.
Where should we go for the best pizza/fondue/raclette?
Where can I find a cash machine to withdraw money from my Visa?
Wife does NOT want to experience the hole in the floor! ( neither do I , frankly) Any places to avoid?

cash machines are not as ubiquitous in Italy as elsewhere, normally only in banks (e.g. you will look in vain for one in the enormous main railway station in central Genoa) so if the only one near you is not working for any reason, or doesn't like your card, might be a hike to the next one. Don't risk running out of cash.

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

There is a bank in the main street with cash point which can empty of cash quite quickly in peak holiday periods and a further cashpoint in complex next to the Hotel Sertorelli.
Plenty of good eating up on the mountain and in the village. Copa Pan has quality traditional dishes, Grivola great for steaks and pizza's, Matterhorn a bit more of a budget menu and Jour De Nuit again good for steaks, pizza.
Not many places to avoid and few holes in the floor
A great all round place to stay
Advise if going over to Zermatt to give enough time to get back. The links can close due to high winds often without warning and it's a very long and expensive taxi ride back

You'll need to Register first of course.

If you go over to the Zermatt side the self service at Trockener Steg is pretty pricey compared to what you can get over the Cervinia side. Although that is possibly the case for anywhere over the Swiss side.

Thanks for the tips!
The most worrying thing now seems to be the cash, as I wouldn't want to carry that much cash on me... Well, I'll have to have some prepared for the taxi transfer, but that's a minor issue.
So are dishes like fondue and raclette ubiquitous in Cervinia/Val d'Aosta, or is that strictly a French thing?
Just a week now.... I'm thrilled since the snow conditions at home have been appalling!
