 Poster: A snowHead
|
(Subject to all covid caveats, etc) we're booked to go to Montgenevre for a week at half term as a family. Being the selfless sort of chap that I am, I am minded to put myself out and do a reccy before hand, some time in January, so that when with children and my timid OH in tow, we won't all be going in blind.
I've had a look at all the usual operators and none of them seem to offer weekend only accomodation. Does anyone if weekend (long weekend, Thursday to Sunday/Monday) is doable there? And if so, does anyone have any links to providers? TIA

@Timmycb5, what do you mean by "usual operators"?
I have only done weekends a couple if times and not Montgenevre however I would go about it the same way... Sort out a flight with good timings for maximum ski time and then book a Hotel, then a transfer.
A Hotel something like this...

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

Whenever I have gone to Montgenevre for a weekend I have stayed down in Briançon.

@Timmycb5, we had some friends staying for a week in Montgenevre in early Feb 2020, so we had a few days away from Les Menuires and drove over there. I booked a three night stay in an apartment at the Hameau des Airelles through Booking.com, it was certainly convenient for the pistes.
The four days skiing was nice and the pistes were lovely and quiet compared to the 3 valleys. Found some good restaurants on and off the slopes as well!
The hotel suggestion in the post above also looks close to the slopes.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@albob, I can do, but I'd rather go for a week if I'm using that much annual leave!

Any Montgenevre regulars know about buying a 3 day lift pass? As above (and assuming lifting of restrictions) I need to buy 2 x adult lift passes, but as far as I can tell on the website, I have to buy 6 individual day passes. That can't be right can it?
Can they be linked to the same card/s so we're not forking out however many €'s it is for the actual card?

Ignore me. I've discovered that if I order Mont de la Lune I can order 3 days each

Love the resort Montgenevre (and Claviere side, too) but didn’t find it overly easy to get there. From TRN, it was a bus to the city centre then train to Oulx, then we had someone pick us up from the station (about 15-20 mins drive from recollection). I found it impossible to get a transfer mid week. The train was a beautiful ride though. For that reason, I would go Sat to Sat next time, and get a transfer.
