 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi
I'm looking for a cheap way to get from Turin Airport to Peisey- Nanchoix Sat 11th and return on the 18th. I can't find anything on the Internet that doesn't require a month's salary!
Any thoughts
TIA
Colette

It’s a hike, that’s for sure.
A few years back I needed to get from Tignes to Turin. My route was:
- Tignes to Bourg St Maurice by bus.
- Bourg St Maurice to Chambery by train.
- Chambery to Turin by train.
Probably an overall transfer time of 6 to 7 hours including waits in between as the whole thing wasn’t entirely joined up.

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

Given Peisey itself offers its own set of logistical problems, have you considered hiring a car?

Fly to Chambery 
Joking aside, the train route from Turin to and through Modane is the main international route into France for that area, onward from there it meets the train line (looks like one station) that travels to Tarantaise valley for piesey.
Connect station is Montmèlian I can see on the map, both train from Modane and train to Tarantaise should pass through there in opposite direction.
Now whether you can connect the two ?

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Thanks, everyone for your help! I decided hiring a car was the quickest, cheapest and easiest option.

Even that's not easy/cheap. Probably 150 miles each way via Frejus tunnel. Plus road and tunnel tolls.
Peisey itself is pretty much snow free* at present (although some more forecast from Wednesday onwards) so probably okay without chains. But not sure if you have to have them with you just in case.
*Just about enough on the piste, although quite a few runs are closed

Forgot to say to be wary of car sat nav unless it specifically has a winter setting. It may try to send you over a closed pass!
