 Poster: A snowHead
|
After getting lots of tips and advice from Snowheads I took the plunge and booked separate flights and accommodation for start of April, far cheaper than any package Crystal etc were offering.
I now need to sort transfers from Turin, lift passes, equipment and lessons!
Any Montgenevre tips for a family of four, intermediate skiers?
Thanks to Snowheads for all the advice so far.

I would hire a car from Turin. That way you can do a shop on your way to resort (assuming you are self catering). We've always found car hire to be cheaper for us than booking 4x transfers. Also means of links to rest of milky way are closed you've got option to drive over to Claviere for example.

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

For lessons contact Apeak. Theyve been great for us in the past and will try to set up whatever suits you best.

I am finding car hire from Turin surprisingly expensive for a car big enough for the 4 of us including skis and baggage and as such I am likely to book private transfer with Alps 2 Alps for us going to La Thuile.

@NickyJ, We normally use Argus Car Hire - just looked and you can get a Skoda Octavia Estate for a week in Feb half term for £257. We've had an Octavia twice before and it easily fitted us, 2 young teenage kids, skis and bags. Have to put the single back seat down to fit in the skis but that is not a huge problem. I'd be interested to know what a private transfer would cost compared to that as when I've looked in past it has always worked out more expensive. TBH I also like having the car so I can get to shops etc too.

@trmacc, trouble is you can’t guarantee getting an Octavia and anything in same class will not guarantee to fit what we have so I was looking class bigger which jumps to around £500 odd (also we need 9 days as we are landing Friday morning and leaving Saturday evening) so pushed to 9 whole days.

Just run for Argus the only one returned for Octavia was €614.71 for our dates in April and Alps 2 Alps is €484.50 for the private transfer.
