 Poster: A snowHead
|
Your always so helpful so I have a couple more queries i'd be grateful to gain your help on!
How do we get from the airport to the train station that serves Oulx?
What is there to do in Turin if we spend a day there before flying home? Are there any luggage lockers at the station?
Do any ski schools meet at the bottom of the Clotes lift, or do they all meet at Sportinia?
Which ski schools do good kids snowboard lessons? I looked at one which only seemed to do a 3 day course with 2 hours a day, compared to the ski lessons which were 5 days x 3 hours.
Many Thanks in advance

There is a station at the airport and also buses. However I have never done the journey myself.

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

666,
That is so helpful, Thanks. Our flight arrives at 18:00 so I'm guessing realistically a taxi is the best option. Can't believe the price of the train though, bargain. Will definitely be using that to get back to the airport as we have an afternoon flight home.
Is it best to use a turin taxi firm, or a sauze one?
Thanks very much again.

kyoto49, not sure on taxi. Personally I'd be inclined to check the train times and get a taxi to the train station. You could try a Sauze one and if they've a drop off they may hand around but more likely you're better ofs with Turin. Don't just jump in a waiting taxi and say take me to Sauze ! Remember motorway tolls likely to be extra.
