Poster: A snowHead
|
I'm going to Courmayeur this season (not 'til March, boo!) and have just been informed that the area Aosta Valley lift pass only includes the resorts of Courmayeur, La Thuile, Pila, Cervinia, Gressoney & Champoluc. It no longer includes Flaine or Chamonix...
I don't think this is a problem for me, I'm only going for a week and I think only Pila and La Thuile are bus-linked to Courmayeur, but might be a consideration to others. It's still a fairly pricey pass at £175 for 6 days...

queen bodecia, did it ever include them before?

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

I read somewhere that it did, but in fairness that may not have been trustworthy information...

I did include Chamonix and Flaine last season, yes, but you needed your own transport. We didn't bother as the bus ervice drops yo uin the middle of chamonix. The free bus to La thuile is worth it, takes you right to the slopes, and it's a grand day out - two days out even as you can do two days over there.

We're staying at the Tavernier in Courmayeur over Christmas - that stay covers a day in Chamonix.

chrisdavis, Going with Interski. I use them to run a school ski trip to Pila. Going with my Partner. Shes been skiing for about 10 days. Shes going to have some private lessons and I'll ski with her on some of the easier slopes. Will prob see you at the "get to know your rep" thing they will surely have. If you want someone to ski some reds and blacks with let me know. My names Craig and partners is Dhana. Cant wait for the trip now. Looks like loads of snow.

I'm not going until March, so you Christmas people will have to report back to me with some insider info!
I'm hoping to do a day each in La Thuile and Pila. Monte Rosa would be nice too but can't seem to find if it's easy to get to by bus...
Have a great trip Chris and Drluv...

David Murdoch, it certainly included a day in Chamonix, though you had to queue to a lift pass over there.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Drluvski, We are Interski too, been using them since 1998. There are four (poss six) of us, and we'll be on plenty of the reds.
You coach or air? We are coaching.
