Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Marmolada by helecopter

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
In between Arabba and San Cassiano, I noted a helecopter business doing transfers to the Marmolada, now I should have asked at the time, but didn't, but does anyone have any knowledge of costs and numbers who can fit in??

Also can anyone tell me why I am asking this in June? Puzzled

Don,t know about the heli but there is a lift on the Marmolada.

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

There is, and the queue is usually enormous. I can see the attraction of a helicopter (if there is one).

You are asking this in June because you need to save up as it would be expensive? (Or maybe you are just sad .....) Laughing

I once tried to get the lift in the summer up to the hut. It was being repaired, we were sent away and told to try again about four. A bit wary we returned and they run it just for us, unfortunatly it stopped a bit short of the top and i had to jump off.
The night in the hut was great as we were the only ones there.

Having done this three of four times in recent years, we've never had to queue at all. Were we just lucky??

Have done the three lifts a few times but thought this may be something different and there are five of us hence the question re numbers. Queues weren't bad in January, but it is a bit of a slog once you have done it a couple of times. Anyway off to Glencoe at 0400hrs tomorrow to get a height fix in the interim albeit with boots not skis, fingers crossed for a clear day. Very Happy Very Happy

RobW, if you are staying near it you can probably get there early and not queue for long. I've been 3 times and always queued - last year (worst) about 30/35 minutes.

If you get to the bottom of the cable car by 10.00am there is no problem with queues. It is one plus point for being based in Arabba you can be at the cable car before 10am

For you first run, that is.

Unless youski very fast, the queue will be enormous by the time you get to the bottom. So your 2nd, 3rd run will involve waiting for 1/2 hr in the queue.

abc, I only do one run down and then either ski the path through the george to Sottoguda and catch the ski bus Alleghe or ski back to Arraba and ski all the nice runs under the Porta Vescovo.

riverman, I quite like the long & endless (seemingly) runs on Marmolada. Smile So I would have like to ski it more than twice. But the queues were maddening so I had to move on. Sad

As nice as the runs at Porta Vescovo, it's not nearly as long. And not as consistantly challenging either.

This hotel site seems to be advertising at "only" Euro 120 per person last season.
Or you could contact these people to see what they quote you, although they seemed to be from Val Gardena rather than close to San Cassiano.

When I do save up for the helicopter, I would rather go somewhere else more pristine! Smile
