Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Yes.

You are about that distance from the nearest resorst in the Millky Way ski area (The shortest route to Sestriere is 118Km according to ViaMichelin).

Probably not quite that high, or quite that close.

Risoul in France is 118Km (Resort is at 1850, skiing higher). That is, it is 118Km if the Col de La Madalena is open Smile

I think you may be being a trifle optimistic in your wishes here.

Isola 2000 is (according to via Michelin) 62km from cuneo but then you need to add in the ryanair factor that the airport is 20k from the town = 83k - do I win a prize?

rjs, No it's not open. One of the problems with Cuneo's location is all those hills ... the best access routes are the Turin tunnel and Tende tunnel to the 'major resorts' but you go through Limone to get to the latter . Apart from that the Milky Way is the closest area, I think.

Limone is probably the closest then , but if I were going there I'd start in Genova.

Agenterre, There is Prato Nevoso too, the Tour de France had a stage finish there this year. Limone looks closer though.

rjs, I dont know Prato Nevoso I'm afraid; Cuneo makes Limone a lot more accessible though but it isnt a grand resort by any means ,,

Hah - you can't catch a snowhead out !!

Having not been to isola, but checked out their website, I thought the only access was from the south - I was surprised when via michelin routed me in from the north and didn't make any mention of the fact it might be closed..given it was a D road and looked like it was going over the mountain I guessed we had a situation similar to la Thuile / La Roz, which obviously I'm more familiar with...

 So if you're just off somewhere snowy come back and post a snow report of your own and we'll all love you very much

Thanks for all your replies folks

Are the Col de La Madalena and Col de la Lombarde, one and the same place or are they two different Cols ? and are they closed in Winter

If they close in Winter are any other hi alt resorts accessible as well as Isola (Sestiere perhaps). May have to travel a little further than my 100km wishlist !
