 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi all,
I'm off to Bardonecchia at the weekend. I'd really like to do a day trip across to the Via Lattea, and particularly drop into Claviere for old time's sake.
No car, but from the TrenItalia site it looks like there are hourly trains to Oulx (I assume that is where the site means by "Oulx-Cesana-Claviere-Sestriere"). Does anyone know how easy it is to get from the station to the nearest ski lift? And about how long would it then take to ski across to Claviere / Montgenevre (and back)?
Thanks,
Rob

@robhogg,
In another thread I posted this link
www.05voyageurs.com/fr/consultation-des-horaires_p247
click on S33 briancon OUlx and it gives a timetable between Oulx and Braincon that stops in Cesana and Montgenevre.
It looks like there are only two morning buses but if you can get there for the 08:40 it should give you a good days skiing and is quite cheap. There is a return service.

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

Thanks for the link, T Bar. Looks like there are trains due into Oulx at 7:33 and 8:33 on weekdays, so the early bus would be doable.
And ends up in Briançon? Now I'm thinking "day out in Serre Chevalier as well"

@robhogg,
I'd have thought a day out Serre Che is possible, one thing to be aware of is that the stops in Briancon are at Champs de Mars and the station both of which are a bit away from the gondola though you can get a local bus.
Serra Che is a great day out and it sounds like they are getting good snow.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

If I were you I'd just get the train from Bardonecchia to Oulx.
It also depends where you are staying in Bardonecchia as the actual ski station is up the road from the railway station.
Once at Oulx station probably then your best bet is a bus either to Sestrierre or Sauz (much closer), and there's a lovely Cafe opp station, or better still if the bus drops you off in Cesana by the bubble - don't bother with Clavierre / Serre too much potential for a feck up in transport and snow is not that great here to warrant a trip, but hopefully by tomorrow etc
So get to Oulx and then see where the first bus goes to and take it!

Unless it's the one back to Turin  .
I will check out conditions when I get there, but there's some nostalgia involved in wanting to go back to Claviere - went there 30 years ago on a school trip. And we had proper snow in those days...
