 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
Hello from a newbie, venturing back on to the slopes after a 4 year lay off and I am hoping for a bit of advice please. Having been to Samoens and Morillon before we thought that we would give Sixt a try although this time time we are not hiring a car and was wondering if anyone knows if this is a good idea or not (cost is a consideration). Are there any reliable and good value companies that you can recommend for an GVA transfer (6 people) and lastly a good restaraunt that we can spend new years eve? Many thanks

Hi, the problem with Sixt is that, from a skiing point of view, there is no lift access into the Grand Massif system. Sixt has its own lifts (limited), otherwise you need to take the ski-bus to Samoens (frequent but gets busy). This collects skiers who have skied down from Flaine to Sixt on the Cascades piste (which is the only skiable route into Sixt from the GM). I'd want a car for flexibility. I don't know Sixt village btw.

I think you will feel a bit isolated without a car so i agree with billb. The Auberge in Sixt is pretty good so book now.

billb, Is spot on I usually stay in Flaine, skiied Cascade run last year for the first time, its OK in places but theres alot of narrow road skiing, so once youve seen the scenery is a dull run. So if you stayed in Sixt your limited to its own lifts or getting the bus to and from Samoens. Cascade is often closed due to either the weather or snow conditions so cant be relied upon to get back into Sixt on skis. If you havent done so yet, book accom in one of the other GM villages. if you look on the GM website it give details of local transfer companies, or try alp bus

I can only remember 2 restaurants in Sixt, its very small and quiet. The Auberge would be my choice, assuming you could get a table!
With no car and wanting any sort of life in the evenings, Samoens might be better
