Hi,
Our ski group has booked this year's trip with Crystal. We were given the 'ski-pack' price as an option, as usual a cheap offer. Now the travel agent has informed us that this pack only contains a restricted lift pass, suitable for beginners. I have never heard of such a pass before. Is this a new thing? Has anyone any experience of such a pass? Has anyone any knowledge of how many slopes such a pass would cover in Bardonecchia?
I am considering just getting skis, pass, etc in resort. Any advice would be much appreciated.

I've been to Bardonnechia. It's years ago though, but I do recall having a regular lift ticket, as a novice skier. For other resorts, a beginners lift ticket will cover the nursery slopes and perhaps 1 chairlift or draglift IOW just enough for you for the 1st week.
You could look on J2ski for prebooking ski equipment. It's through Ski Set and there are various levels of equipment, with hefty reductions over walk in prices. Of course you can buy your lift ticket on arrival, check prices carefully though, the regular prebooked Crystal lift ticket, may be cheaper.

Thanks Bandit. I'd never heard of a beginners pass before.
I think I'll be booking my skis with Ski Set. It seems the best and clearest option. I'll check lift pass prices and see which seems cheapest.

Hi Mekka, I have been to Bardonecchia for the past 3 years and will be back there again in January. As far as I am aware there are no restrictions on the lifts that you can use and if you are going into ski school they only have 1 nursery slope and they tend only to use that for complete beginners and assessment on the first day, after lessons it is upto you where you feel competent to ski. Its a great place and if the snow is as good as last year you will have a ball. :D
