 Poster: A snowHead
|
I'm hoping to squeeze in a late long weekend of skiing in Tignes from 25 to 29 April.
Having found accommodation and flights, I've got stuck with the transfers - all the buses seem to stop the week before and the only option seems to be a private transfer at €150 per person each way 😳.
Can anyone recommend any other reasonable options?
Thank you!

Go to a Swiss resort and get the train from Geneva?

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

MissWiggy, Try Mountainsun, they'll take people not staying with them on their transfers if they have room.

Thank you all.
Cran - Im not sure that any of the high Swiss resorts are open that late - Zermatt closes on 21 April (I've been told) - please correct me if Im wrong!
Russeh - Bens buses don't run that late in April unfortunately 
Claude B - thank you - will get in touch.
Thank you all! Would be a shame to fall at the last hurdle...

You can get the train to Bourg, then a local bus from there. Slow, but fairly cheap.

Yes I thought about that, but I'd be pretty nervous about driving in the snow so trying to look for alternative options.
Thank you!

MissWiggy, It's pretty unlikely you'll have to drive in snow then (although in the mountains who knows).

That's my dilemma - it's VERY late in the season so may be absolutely fine, but if we did hit any snow, I think I'd be pretty uncomfortable with that (snow chains etc).
Aaaghhh 😁

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

You will be fine driving! I did a season up in Vallandry two years ago, took my car did loads of driving all over the Alps and didn't use my chains once. Of course it can snow at that time of year still but the chances of having any problems are tiny! The roads are cleared pretty quickly if it does snow and if you get a car from the swiss side of Geneva airport you'll have snow tyres.
