 Poster: A snowHead
|
Going to Courmayeur in January on a boy's trip (well, old farts really - all well over 35 but all blokes). It's been a few years since I've been there so a few questions -
What's the best time to beat the crush on the gondola?
Does the Roma still do food for Apres Ski?
Is the Tunnel pizza place still open serving pizza the size of dustbin lids?
Where can we play pool?
Where else shouldn't we miss for Happy Hour, late night drinking etc etc?

Use the new(ish) Gondola at Dolonne instead of the Cable Car, if you are handy for it. We stayed at The Tavernier and it was literally 2 mins walk, tops - there isn't a queue Christmas week so unlikely in January. It goes up to the same place.

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

Tiger2, I was there in January, the Gondola was always crush / queue free around 8'ish. After 8:30 it started to get busy.
Bar Roma still does fantastic free food between 16:00 - 21:00. They also offerred an a la carte menu. The Tunnel still do their .75m Pizza and huge 1.5L glasses of beer. The American bar, on the same road, was ok. We did try some other bars but none had the same ambience as Bar Roma. There was a bar with a pool table on the main drag near the american bar, you should be able to see it through the window.

Was there at half-term a couple of years ago. No crowds, no queues but we only used the gondola for getting up the hill, which is speedy. (We are not early starters though!) A day out at Pila was pleasant and on the same pass.
Bar Roma is still doing food early evening and is a good bar. The best pizza we had was, oddly at the bus station cafe. Fresh made and wood oven baked.
Skiing is pleasant though there are not all that many runs.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Maison Vieille (bottom of the beginner drag) for lunch. Trust me on this.
