 Poster: A snowHead
|
Am looking at doing my first DIY ski holiday to somewhere in Italy maybe sestriere or bardonecchia and was wandering if any could tell me how far away the porta nuova train station is from turin airport?
Also any advice on DIY holidays i.e where to find apartments etc would be much appreciated
Thanks

Is porta nuova the main turin station? (I really ought to know this, cos I used to commute to Turin)
If so, there's a bus which goes to the main station, which must take best part of an hour (or a taxi, for a fee).

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

Yup, as Andy says, take a bus from the airport (do not take the train form the airport which, as someone said, goes nowhere useful!) direct to the station. If I recall correctly the train takes about an hour to Oulx (for Sauze) so Bardonecchia is 10 mins further on. My guess is that you'd have to take a bus from Oulx to Sestriere but hopefully someone with a better knowledge than me can tell you.
IglusSki may have accommodation only - but there are some very good deals about now as well. Campo Smith Best Western apts looked good value but have never stayed there...

Bus to train station - 5 euros'ish
Train to Oulx - 5 euro's ish
On the way back you have to get your bus ticket from a Cafe by the bus stop on Corso Vittoria Emmanele II, basically left out of the ticket office and cross the road.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Thanks for your replies. so a bus from airport to station is about an hour journey then? do DIY holidays actually save u much money in the end as they seem like a lot more hassle than the usual through a TO.iv been looking at the campo smith apmts and they do seem good, any one have any ideas of good quality self catering apartments in the milky way (sestriere, sauze)
