Transfers/late start to holiday, etc

A snowHead

Hi there

Further to my last posting about my Gran, I've just found out that the funeral is on Monday which is the day after I am supposed to fly out to Courmayeur for a week. I am considering maybe contacting Crystalski and telling me the circumstances and maybe if I can make my own way there on Tuesday but fly back as originally planned on the following Sunday.

Can anyone recommend transfers or information about getting to Courmayeur from either Geneva or Turin airports?

Thanks

hi
if you fly into turin there is a bus from the airport you can get to courmaeur pretty easily -- you get on the bus from turin airport to turin bus station cost 6.50 euros

then you change and get the bus to courmauyer

alternatively i can recomend the following taxi co. we have used before -- obviously taxi's will be more expensive for one person ;

hope that helps.......

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

jb1970, hope you manage to get this sorted, but do remember to make sure that Crystalski confirm that you will be flying back as planned on the return trip. I don't know what your flight arrangements are but I know that sometimes if you don't take the outbound flight the airline just cancels your return flight.

Sounds as if the info above will help with your transfer.

You need to Login to know who's really who.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

You'll need to Register first of course.

There's a bus through the tunnel from Chamonix to Courmayeur.

Then you can post your own questions or snow reports...

I am resurrecting this posting because, although the flights to Turin are very expensive, I can fly out of Geneva for £136. Flight gets into Geneva at 16.10 in the afternoon. How do I get from Geneva to Courmayeur?

After all it is free

jb1970, I looked into this a couple of years ago because there was a chance the accommodation I wanted through Crystal was full and I'd have to make my own arrangements. As it happens Crystal came good in the end. But in the meantime I had researched the DIY route.

These people do shared transfers from Geneva to Chamonix:

Then, you take the bus from Chamonix to Courmayeur, timetable for which is here:

I believe this bus is free if you have an MBU lift pass.

Help!!
