Or another alternative is to drive.
There will be at leat 3 cars going this year (one lucky lucky chap will already be skiing and just has to switch resorts). The other two cars will be travelling in convoy the day before, stopping overnight and no doubt sampling the local hospitality before arriving in resort midday.
The return journey will be similar with a stop off to load up with sausage in the Alsace region. Might as well make the most of the boot space and bring home some goodies. :wink:

I know driving is not for everyone but we treat it as part of the holiday, select your resort and an overnight stop, it can be great fun :thumbup:

Hmmmm......we drove to Tignes in the summer and didn't enjoy it one bit. And that was in perfect weather conditions, with no traffic issues at all, super quiet mountain roads and in a big comfy fast car. We were totally knackered when we got there!
Coming back we stopped over in Reims but then the journey felt like it would never end.
I know lots of people like to drive but I don't think it's for us.
My favourite form of transport has to be the ski train. So easy and relaxing (as long as you are skiing one of the resorts local to BSM or Moutiers)

I like going by train as well, BB.
In fact, I was going to go to Folgarida on the train, but the BA flight out on Saturday (I'm staying in a hotel in Trento on Saturday night) was so cheap and such an easy time of day that I decided to fly instead.
As I said, I think the easiest routes would be either fly to Verona and take the private taxi to the hotel, or fly to Milan Bergamo and take the shuttle bus to Folgarida.

According to Viamichelin.co.uk the distance from Innsbruck airport (Flughafen) to Folgarida is 132 miles, with 96 miles of that on motorways, and it would take just under 3 hours to drive it.

This thread is so long I haven't had the time to look through to see when and where you are going and whether there is room for anyone else.... Would some mind giving me a summary!? Thank you
