 Poster: A snowHead
|
Following on from one of my recent posts, I might be going on two different ski holidays two weeks on the run next season.
I will either be in La Plagne week 1 transferring to Val d'Isere week 2, or the other way round. I'm just wondering whether anyone has experience of travelling between the two resorts.
I will be flying to France so will not have a car, and I was wondering what the best and cheapest way would be to travel to the other resort on the transfer day. I'm guessing a taxi will cost a fortune...

pinkskier, lucky you. Because they are in the same valley it shouldn't present a great problem. Aime in the valley below La Plagne is a bus hub for all the Tarentaise resorts if you are going La Plagne to Val D. The reverse trip should be a simple matter of hitching on a transfer bus down as far as Aime and then taking the local bus up. Take a lok at the Altibus site.

It is I believe possible to ski to tignes, take the grande motte cable car up to the top, hike for a bit, max 200m vertical, then ski off piste down the back of the grande motte into the les arcs lift system and ski to la plagne. I also believe that its a pretty stupid thing to do without a guide if you aren't an expert backcountry skier and good at route finding

Hi. The best thing is to get the bus to Bourg St Maurice, then bus / train to Aime, then bus to La Plagne. Or the other way round. Very easy to do, quick and cheap.
I hope this helps.
If you need anything else, just ask - I know the area quite well (I have a place there...).

You could chat up Jo from Mountainsun - they have a mini bus that delivers/ picks up clients to both tignes and la plagne... might be worth seeing whether she can help.
