Poster: A snowHead
|
I know that this is quite the hike around the countryside but in Australia, it's not far. It takes 30 hours just to fly to Europe. My other idea was that if the Tyrol had bad snow, hopefully the other side of the alps is having a good season and I can enjoy some powder at one of these resorts. I fly into Zurich, have 9 days in St Anton, then a week off piste with UCPA Les Arcs, a week off piste with UCPA Serre Chevalier and then fly out of Turin.
I'm wondering the best way to get from St Anton to Les Arcs. Train seems to be the best option leaving St Anton at 8.52 am Saturday morning and arriving Bourg St Maurice in the afternoon at 6.24 PM. Then I can catch the funicular up to Les Arcs 1650, and be there for dinner.
Seems that this is the best way. I can't seem to find any one way car hires. St Anton doesn't seem to do any car hires.
Do you think this is the best option to go from SA to LA?

Except that snow in the Alps seems to be more a North/South thing rather than a straight East/West one. Currently, the Austrian end is doing OK and was way better in the early season. The French end has been patchy, a curate's egg - good in parts, rotten in others. Last season it was definitely a North/South thing, with the Italian side of the main divide copping mega amounts.
When are you intending to arrive in St Anton as a lot can change in 24 hours let alone a couple of weeks or months?
One way car hires tend to be expensive and consequently not too poular over here.

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

Snow has definitely improved on the French side. Lots of storms heading in and temperature dropping so I am sure conditions will be fine

Great to see snow improving all over with these storms and the temps dropping. I didn't realise it was a north south thing with the snow. Will think about that for the next trip.
I get into St Anton on Feb 26. a lot can happen between now and then - 5 weeks that is.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.
