Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi All,
Am going to La Thuile for a week and will have the use of a car. Looking at going to Pila for a day's skiing as it is nearby. Is it easy to park there or is it best to stay down in Aosta and get the gondola up?
Thanks

Take your pick. The telecabin will get you up there quicker, in 15 minutes or so, and it's included in the lift pass. Sit back and enjoy the view of the steelworks. After, you can stroll into Aosta from the telecabin carpark, via the underpass at the railway station. Carpark is free but does get busy on some days. There is parking at the top.

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

Thanks for that. Is the town (Aosta, if i park there) worth a stroll round as my wife is not a keen skier but likes shopping!!!

stortfordhal, yes it is. It's large enough to be diverting for just about a day, but also has some great Roman ruins.
Shouldn't take long to get there either, once you're out of the side valley. One word of warning, don't risk speeding on the AS, they tend to radar gun it.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I would definitely park in Aosta and take the gondola. When we had a week in Pila a few years ago, we took the gondola down and strolled round one day; had a brilliant lunch in one of the restaurants (asked a taxi driver to take us to a good restaurant and amazingly he did!)

You'll need to Register first of course.

Hi, We took a day trip to Pila from Courmayeur a few years ago, took the gondola up, probably easier than driving up loads of hairpin bends.
The skiing was good we were there in early March and had most slopes to our sleves all day.
Enjoy the trip
