 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi,
Can someone let me know what is the best way to get from Bourg St Maurice (train station) to Arc 1950? I know you can get the lift upto Arc 1600 then the bus but that seems alot of effort and messing about especially with 8 people and lots of bags!
Cheers

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

The last time I went up to Arc 1600 there was a choice of the funicular, the scheduled bus, or the taxi.
I do remember it being quite an effort hauling bags over the bridge to the funicular platforms, so the taxi or bus (which presumably serves 1950 too) would certainly be best.

You'll need to Register first of course.

we paid €60 for a taxi carrying 5 last year to 1950 (and a police escort past an accident due to 'local' knowledge / brother in law apparently) So €12 each - thought that was fine. Will probably be doing the same in 47 hours with 7 of us...
Funicular is a faff after a long journey, and as DS says, a trek over the bridges with heavy suitcases. It's also not that much cheaper since the tickets aren't free unless you already have your week's pass. Go'on, treat yourself!

Taxis carrying 8 people aren't always easily available.... try local taxi firm Aarthur Taxis
aarthur2@wanadoo.fr
Pascal or Michèle - they should be able to arrange something for you at a reasonable rate - (mention my name Pete Garwood) - make sure you ask for the best price possible!
