 Poster: A snowHead
|
Am looking at booking the snowtrain for March, arrive Sat morning, slopes on whatever resort that day. Probably find a last min deal for accomodation only.
Is changeover day a Sunday this year? It seems to be on a couple of sites I've checked.
I'm worried that although I can get there fine, the fact that changeover is the next day there may be a problem.
Have I got the dates for changeover right?
If so, then what are others doing in this situation?
Do you think that there will be last min deals I can still get?

edde, this is sometimes the case but may depend on the resort and the operator. The Briancon sleeper (for Serre Che, Montgenevre, Milky Way, Puy St Vincent etc, runs every day, so you could try the Southern resorts instead of the Snowtrain, you get on the sleeper at Gare d'Austerlitz in Paris. Most private accommodation in the area has Saturday changeovers.

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

edde, Doesn't the snowtrain arrive Sat AM? In common with most other English TOs in La Rosiere we operate a Sundat transfer, it's less busy and our guests don't spend all day on the RN90 in a traffic jam. I do know of a hotel in Bourg St Maurice who accept single night stays, in fact it's where the TGV crews stay overnight. PM me for the details because some plonker has complained that I'v been advertising on the site, they obviously haven't seen or ad in snowShops.

Changeover day is whatever the operator or accommodation owner decides - usually Saturday, sometimes Sunday. Pick an accommodation which changes over on the day you prefer.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

David@traxvax, did some plonker complain that you were advertising, or did they complain that you appeared to be hijacking threads that weren't related to La Rosiere?

hyweljenkins, I can't recall saying anything specific for more than a year publicly or privately, does that mean I'm off the 'plonker' list?  That'd be nice 'cos it's really messing with my street-cred.

Masque, I think you're off that list then.
