Hi,

I am off to Italy in a few weeks and am after some information.
We are staying in Pragelato and have found out we can ski in/out of resort pretty much along some red routes and that there is a ski bus which ends at 5pm roughly.

Does anybody know if there is a regular bus that runds between the two resorts which will allow us to enjoy some apres in sestriere or surrounding resorts and get back to Pragelato.

I have been told that there is one that runs til midnight but can't find any information on it on the web.

Thanks for reading and taking time to respond,

Matt

Probably too late for your trip, but in case anyone else needs info, here's the bumph on Crystal's info page.....
10 mins drive to Sestriere with FREE shuttle bus service available twice in the morning and twice in the afternoon. FREE shuttle bus to Sestriere on a Wednesday, Friday and Saturday evening until late to and from the hotel. Local busses also run regularly to Sestriere at a local charge of around €2 for a single trip

Would be interested in your thoughts on the resort (Pragelato) after your stay as it is somewhere I few of us where thinking of for next year.

what an amazing place, access to some amazing slopes, great food, service and wine and great snow.
I was worried that we may be a little isolated but you could hop on the ski bus if you wanted some livlier apres and 3/4 nights a weeks there was a late bus with the last bus around 4am.
Gondola takes you straight over to Sestriere. Amazing place and will defnitely go back,
As for the accommodation, well appointed clean and modern 2 floor apartments with plenty of drying space. Double balconies and great views.
I couldn't reccomend this place enough, if there is anything more specific that you would like to know please ask me.
