Cervinia to Champoluc/Gressoney bus

In Cervinia for the first time since 1982 next week. As always, quite fancy an away day but don't really want to go to Pila with the tour operator.

However, I noticed there's a daily return bus from Cervinia to Champoluc/Gressoney (which has always been on my radar for a holiday). Has anyone done this and is it worth doing?

Many thanks.

As it's a new service I think you will struggle to find anybody in the UK who has actually used it. Unfortunately they don't say how long the journey takes http://www.lovevda.it/en/database/8/highlights/aosta-valley/winter-bus-matterhorn-monte-rosa/1984
assuming the roads are clear it takes around 1½ hours to drive from Cervinia to Champoluc. Alternatively, if you have decent off-piste skills and avi gear you could ski from the Colle Cime Bianche to Saint Jacques and get the bus back. If you wait a while there will be a lift connecting Cervinia to Champoluc.

Thank you. I'm a patient man but not sure my patience would permit waiting for the lift you mention!!!

And three hours on the bus is a big chunk out of the day. So, it will just have to be another day in Zermatt - oh, the hardship!!
