 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
Hi, Does anyone know how to buy ski passes for the via lattea / milky way ski area? I've booked flights and then looked on their website which only shows passes to buy for the coming week. Is it really possible that they have sold out all types of passes even day passes for the whole season? Or am I looking in the wrong places.

Seems to be impossible right now. Montgenevre doesn't even mention Via Lattea on their website. Strange. My best guess would be, they are still caught up in debates about pricing or how to share the profits. Not good.

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

Just had a quick look at their web page -- Suspect it is a 'glitch' with the web site?? (can't see that you are doing anything wrong..)
===edit===
There is a bit on the Montegenevre website that mentions "The international ski area for only 2 € more than the French one" but is is marked as 'Coming Soon"
Their Monte Luna pass includes two days in the Via Lattea

Unless you are planning to ski over to Sestriere every day I would just get the Monts de lune pass which includes Montgenevre and Claviere plus a day skiing in the wider milky way (maybe two according to the post above). The pass for the whole area used to be called the grand Galaxie I think and it also included a day in Serre Chevalier etc

The web page has changed since I visited at 14.40 -- 'Sold out' is now showing as 'Available soon'..!?!

Yes I've seen that now. It looks like tickets are being sold very short term at the moment. Thanks for the responses.

That's true. But you should get an idea about the pricing by having a look at prices in Serre Che and 2 Alpes. For a family of 4 it comes down to around 1150/1350€ for 6/7 days. Same as 3V. Too much in my opinion. But maybe that's only me.
If I understand that correctly, Monts de la Lune gives you two days of Milky Way; Grande Galaxie includes the whole Milky Way and allows for one day each at Serre Che, 2 Alpes, and AdH. Imho only Serre Che is reasonable, if based in Montgenèvre.
Does anyone know how smooth the connection over to Sestriere and back is? I'm particulary interested, if there is something like a ski route down to Claviere coming back to France.

Suspect that is cos the lifts were mostly not open on 7.12. Sauzy was still shut on the 12, even tho the world cup was on in Sestriere. Should be ok now?

@Tristero, the connection with sestriere is painful. Returning from Sestriere involves a gondola down and then 3 consecutive (and slow) chairlifts up
