 Poster: A snowHead
|
Am travelling to Verbier from Geneva this friday afternoon, so will be taking the train to Le Châble by the looks of things. from there, it would be the usual thing to take the post bus, but it seems that this might not run yet, or may finish running before I arrive in Le Châble.
Can any snowheads recommend alternative ways to get from Le Châble to Verbier?
Thanks!

Never having taken this lift, not sure how practical/easy with ski bag and other gear in tow?

Should be do-able, they are pretty big cabins and shouldn't be busy in the afternoon. However, if there is more than one of you a taxi might be more convenient, but I confess I don't know the price of a taxi or a single ride on the gondola, but it's worth checking both options.

60 chf for a taxi 1 way. So steep compared to gondola or bus.
If you are skiing definitely get your area pass in le chable when you arrive, covers the le chable to verbier gondola. the gondola shuts at 7:30 pm. Hours are in the following link:-

The gondola leaves from across the street from the train station and you can buy area passes there too. You will arrive in medran in Verbier. If you have far to go from here there are regular buses around verbs.
The gondola are comfortably 4 people sitting and the seats go up to make more room for cases etc. If you only want one trip up it will be about 10 chf. Bus is cheaper, and if you are staying nearer the bottom of Verbier then this is a better option at about 5 or 6 chf.
We are in le chable if you need more info just drop us a line.

Fantastic - thanks for all the help and suggestions. It looks like I would make Le Chable before 19.30, so hopefully will be able to jump in the gondola. Staying at the mirabeau so arriving at medran would leave me with a very short walk

activefusion, Looks like the bubble's running later this winter. No mad dash from Le Pub at 1830, the only problem being if you stay there til 1915 you are even less likely to leave!
