 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
We are already booked to stay in Val d'Isere in March but my son now has the opportunity to do a race camp that week in Tignes. I really don't want to change our booking and trying to ski over and back everyday is unlikely to work. Is there a bus that runs between the two resorts and if there is when do the first and last bus run?

As far as I have heard there is a new bus between Val D and Tignes this year.

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

Gaza, i don't see any major problem with skiing over to Tignes every day. It just depends on when the Race Camp starts and where it is based. You can get to Tignes Lac in about 30 minutes. Think of it as a Warm-up. And you can eat your breakfast while riding down on the Tovier Gondola. Maybe not so quick or convenient if going to Claret,

Skiing would be quicker than bus. Val Claret's no problem either. One gondola, one chair, one nice fast blue.

I suspect you would need to drive round, the new bus just looks to be in the evening.

Gaza, Check with the coach for the camp whether it will be ok to turn up late. Looking at an old piste map, Tommeuses doesn't open until 9:15.

I would have said funiculaire and down to Tommeuse then Henri. Or straight up the Olympique depending on how busy it is.
Hope the camp starts at 10 though...

All depends on start time, which week in March, how busy the buses are to the Centre (Olympique) or La Daille for the Funival, how good is junior at getting up and queuing to be on the first train/bubble.
I think Funi from La Daille will be marginally quicker than bubble with a shorter ski.

Thanks @chocksaway. It is w/c 20th March. Oscar is pretty good at getting up early when he has to. Esprit normally need them to be be kitted up and ready to go at 8:30 and he's managed it in the past. I'll speak to the organisers in the next few days to ascertain the plans. They are normally flexible with arrangements and may be able to tailor something for us.

I think most racing is done in val claret by the tachot chair. Still pretty easy to get to on skis tommeuse chair then blue into val claret then the rope tow or walk. Simples.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Hmmm. Bubble is a much shorter ski. I admit to bias as I don't much like crushing into the funicular. Too much like the Northern Line.
