 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi I'm off to Sestriere in March and have been many times, my question though is for someone who has been recently, have they like most of the UK almost gone cashless, with contactless & apple/google pay?
Or do I still need to get a load of Euros to take with me, and use on the mountains and in bars?
Thanks in advance.

Just back from Cervinia and only 1 bar refused card/contactless payment for under 10 euros.
So contactless all the way - who spends less than 10 euros in a single transaction in a bar anyway?

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

Only 1 wouldn't take one for less than 10E on the PreBBWUW and Bash.
The one by the Fly wouldn't take a card for 30E 'because I hadn't told them'

Kronplatz : one bar on the mountain (Huberalm) had a sign outside saying no cards, only cash. Everywhere else fine with contactless

Does anyone know if Cervinia shops, pubs and ticket office still accept cash? We usually exchange euro and take cash aboard. The locals usually welcome cash but thought I should check in case if things have changed.

I got back from Cervinia yesterday, and I don't remember seeing any signs for places not accepting cash.

I always have both, use card as much as poss. Any cash left is used as part payment on the hotel bill, or last lunch if on a package deal.
