 Poster: A snowHead
|
Despite booking early for next seasons half term, well early for me, nearly all the ski schools at Val Claret (except ESF) are nearly booked solid for the dates we needed for our group.
Because of this I've booked the victims, sorry beginners, in ESF but the others are in with BASS. However, I now find out that BASS meet at Le Lac, which I didn't know when I booked.
So, for 2nd/3rd year kids; which is the best way to get to the meeting point in Le Lac from Val Claret? Ski or bus? bearing in mind it'll be a last minute dash to get there on time every day.
Cheers folks.
Marc

Bus. There's no easy way to ski between the two, you have to go right up the mountain and back down.

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

I'd be tempted to use the bus if the timings fitted. Otherwise, you could go up Tuffs and down in the Aeroski gondola (rather than ski down the black Trolles). Or on the other side it is all blues, but would involve at least 3 lifts - Tichot, Grattalu and Grand huit. I'd allow 3/4 of an hour for that

The bus is pretty quick = they can't come to much harm - for local advice PM Steward Woodward who instructs with ESF there.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Looks like the bus then, at least it'll keep all eight of 'em together.
How long is it on the bus? We have to be there at 9.00am.

it's ten minutes on the bus, and they run from somehting like 7am. The lifts on the other hand don;t start till 8.45 or so, so you;d struggle to ski over there by 9am

The buses run 24 hours, at different frequencies; last season running every 15 mins from 8.30am.

Mosha Marc, I assume you've looked at Evolution 2 in Val Claret?
BTW, I haven't got any better suggestions than Ray Zorro. The bus has always seemd pretty efficient to me.

Yep, as of August, they only had afternoon slots for adults and morning for kids. They didn't even offer to babysit for three hours whilst the adults went out.

You know it makes sense.
