 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
We are going away to La Tania for New Year and intend taking snowboard lessons with RTM (Ride The Mountain). Unfortunately the lessons are in Courchevel 1850 and begin at 9.15. I'm not sure that we would have enough time to get from La Tania to Courchevel using the lifts and then boarding down (I’ve no idea what time the lifts open or how long it would take). It has been suggested that we catch a bus from La Tania to Le Praz and then get the telecabine from Le Praz to Courchevel 1850. Does anyone know about this bus? How frequent is it, how long does it take, what time does it run, etc.?

John Scott, not sure about bus start times etc but I think it takes about 30 mins between the 2 resorts, give or take a bit.
I think the gondola in La Tania starts about 9.00 ish. From memory it takes about 1/2 hour to get to 1850 from La Tania via about 2 other lifts (I'm going from memory and not having a piste map to hand), which might make it a bit tight getting there on time for 9.15. One option might be to arrange to meet the group somewhere above 1850 say at 9.30.

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

Just accessed the latania.co.uk site and it looks like we are unlucky as the first bus leaves La Tania at 9.10 and the lifts open at 9.00. Thanks Colin for your help.

It looks a bit tight. First bubble at La Tania and then the poma should get you to Chenus by 9.10 (depending on weather conditions and how quick they get up and running). It's a full blast for 5 minutes from there to 1850 (but not sure what standard you are).

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Without driving I don't think it's possible to get up to 1850 for a 9.15 lesson. Can you switch to 11.30?

Sayrhead, it certainly is tight! My wife refuses to use drag lifts so it would have to be the chair. I suspect that on the first day it would take us more than 5 minutes to get down to 1850.
rob@rar.org.uk, I don't think that they have any group lessons starting at 11.30. I think we may take a private lesson one afternoon but I prefer group lessons.

John Scott, what ski school are you using? I think that both New Generation and Supreme have classes which start at 11.30.

RTM - Ride the Mountain - snowboarding, hence the reluctance to use the drag lift. If we were on skis we could probably make 9.15!
