 Poster: A snowHead
|
Been to Cervinia several times but always used the Cretaz lift when staying in the centre.
Would the walk to the gondola station be unpleasant and uphill for some beginners who aren't used to walking in ski boots and with skis? they would need to get to Plain Maison for lessons and wouldn't initially be able to negoatiate the chairs and blue run to get there. Had ruled Cervinia out of my shortlist but now having a rethink as we can get there straight from Glasgow!
Anyone know if you could leave skis and boots at Plain Maison overnight so they could head up in their shoes? I have a vague recollection of some ski locker things but they looked old and out of use

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Have you booked hotels and lessons already?
The school we booked with met at the bottom of the Cretaz lifts.

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

@hammerite, no nothing booked, still working out options. We're your lessons for complete beginners from Cretaz? If that's the case I can definitely put Cervinia back on shortlist 😄

"Would the walk to the gondola station be unpleasant and uphill for some beginners ..." Definitely a yes..........

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@MCL, they weren't for beginners. But there were beginner groups meeting at the same time.
I think these are the lot who meet at Plan Maison http://www.scuolacervino.com/en/contacts-2/
These are the ones who meet at Cretaz http://www.scuoladiscibreuil.com/en/contatti/
I suppose the main thing is to book a place to stay closer to one of the lifts and use the closest ski school. We stayed in the Dragon which can't be any more convenient for the Cretaz lifts.

It's an uphill and up steps walk, so not easy in ski boots and with skis. However, there are lockers at Plan Maison so you can leave all your kit there and do the walk/steps in comfy boots. On the way back at the end of the day, there are a few nice bars on the route (and it's downhill).

Yep. There must be a shuttle bus though?
