Poster: A snowHead
|
Just returned from a week in Briancon and had a great week for intermediate level. Loads of snow and only canned 1 afternoon due to visibility.
I also took a lot of peoples advice on here and bought myself my first pair of ski boots. Head Adapt Edge 90's. For me they were perfect.
We rented skiis from GoMontane at the foot of the Prorel lift in town and they couldn't have been nicer.
Our accommodation was booked through HomeAway and we paid around £450 for 4.
Flight were to Milan Malpensa with a private transfer from Findtransfers.com
Anyone going to Serre Chevalier soon should be in for a treat

Thanks,

@ralphster, hope you took the family up to the old town which is a must for anyone coming to Serre Che / Briancon etc especially if you have young boys - mind you that does not sound quite right

@ralphster, How long was the transfer from Malpensa, and how much did it cost? Was it a private van or coach? Why not Turin? (I assume airline tix were too cheap to pass up)
Sorry for questions -- we've taken the overnight train to Briançon from Paris a few times and it's a cool way to get there.

Hi all
For transfers we used Findtransfers.com and for 8 people from Malpensa to Braincon, around 2 hrs 40 was around £700 return It was a private minibus.
We did go to the Old Town, well worth the walk up, impressive fortification and some great shopping. With little ones we got the bus back down which was free as it was 10 minutes late
As for the accommodation, we stayed in HomeAway 547618 which suited us fine. We payed about £450 for the week with an extra 55 euros for electricity.
