Some of our group always use Intersport when they go - usually paying 10% then balance on collection, but they got quite a good extra discount if the paid in full at time of booking this year so went with it.

If she had a week then major operators could come into play or smaller specialists like Collett's Mountain Holidays so long as she could fit in with there Sat/Sat or Sun/Sun transfers - takes the pain out of getting there and back to Venice.

Where is she travelling to Venice from ?

If she was flying into Venice then I would have thought she could probably take the train to Belluno, then switch to Dolomitibus service. There seeems is a service listed from Belluno to Alleghe for the Civetta ski are, which then then continues onto Arabba and Corvara opening up the Sella Ronda ski areas to her.

There are probably other options and I'm sure others will suggest them, these are just the routes/areas I know (last did the the journey from Corvara to Venice last Sunday).

I think we have web access at the chalet so I may indeed!

When you heading there ? We are in town 30/1 - 5/2. Our first time there so can't offer any advice I'm afraid - but if you were there at same time it would be good to swap notes during the week.

I'm likely to be there for a few days in/around the 5th March, but nothing finalised yet.

Thanks for that, I'd had a look at thier site and was quite kean, but it's nice to hear from someoen that's actually used them.

Cheers

Have to get some lessons sorted in Morzine at the end of January for a couple of our party.

One near beginner with only a few hours at Tamworth under her belt and the other in the 'plough to parallel' phase.

Any recomendations for ski schools/lesson options in this resort ?
