About 15 minutes from lift to lift. about 3 lines go there (1,2 & 5). You can get the full timetable from Val di Fassa website but at the moment it is the 23/24 timetable on there

@Motherofthree, worth pointing out that the ski area at Passo San Pelegrino is lovely too, and worth a day out on the bus in my opinion.

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

| @luigi, Thanks very much for this info, it is very helpful. I think we will indeed buy the bus pass and perhaps go to Alba in the mornings. How long approximately does the bus journey take from Campitello to Alba? It looks like we would need to ski down to Canazei and take the bus back from there to Campitello, unless we take the cable car down to Campitello at the end of the day. |
Bus timetables can be found at https://www.skibusvaldifassa.it/en/lines. Depending on where you are in Campitello appears to take about 15 minutes. We stayed in Campitello in mid march this year and on the days when we got the gondola we were in either the 2nd or 3rd one up (so in the 10 to 15 minute range) we arrived at around 8:20. Didn't use the bus at all as we had a car which allowed us to explore other nearby areas such as San Pellegrino/Alpe Lusia.
Which lift to get probably depends on what you plan for the day: if heading towards Selva then go up the local Gondola, if heading towards Arraba then uploading via Alba may well be the better option.

| @DaveD, Thanks for your advice. I don't like lift queues either, but also don't like taking the ski bus unless I have to... |
Then you've possibly chosen the wrong village. With one lift and its lonely position at the end of the valley, Campitello is the most bus reliant, lift queue likely resort of all the villages on the Sella Ronda.
It may look better value than the others, but there's a reason why it's cheaper.

@Mollerski, I see, that explains why Campitello is so affordable then. At least we got a bargain with Crystal Ski.

It is good value but it is not at the end of the valley but right in the middle ...its position ..and the bus service.. gives it a central position to ski more of the Dolomiti Superski than you could elswhere ...if you stop in Canazei you have the bubble and another gondola before you can go anywhere ..the bus service allows skiiing up and down the valley up to Alba and down to Moena where the Passo San Pelegrino has a great area ...as well as getting on the Sella from the Col Rodella

@luigi, What a beautiful photo! Thanks for the info, interesting to hear that you have not had a problem coming down the Campitello cable car at the end of the day. Someone else in this thread said the queues to come down at the end of the day can be long.
@DaveD, Thanks for the info, sounds good to me, as long as there is some natural snow by Christmas!

He may have more experience than me. I've only used it a few times and it's been a while. Also, you are going at a very busy time. You'll have to play it by ear.
