Sorry Noddy but I had to Google that hotel name to see if it really existed , and it did or does, but a cracking name...... :lol:

A good hotel and the best Tirimisu ever.

We have stayed at the hotel spampatti in presolana and you can get the local bus free from there.

Which tyres did you buy? (I haven't bought mine yet and I'm wondering which ones to get).

Convinced, called local dealer and have ordered 4 new rims with winter tyres to be fitted at the start of December, had the bonus that they will store my summer wheels for me.

Thanks again for the info

Noddy.

We noticed how much smaller than previous years the show was this weekend.
We went with the plan to get a christmas / new year trip and came away with our first trip to La Rosiere over this new year.The bonus came with the money saved on the holiday I spent on new boots. :D

Thanks for the prompt answers. I guess Im looking for a set of winter tyres. No point risking the second most expensive item most of us ever buy just for the sake of 4 new tyres, not to forget whats inside the car.

Thanks

Noddyh

I know it will have been asked before but I'm driving to La Rosiere this year (december 26th) our first trip to the resort and our first winter trip in the car, I have driven the journey during the summer but this is going to be different. We will have snow chains but the question is with this being our only trip to the alps this year by car, are winter tyres worth the cost for the trip?

Have to say once again we have been helped along with our skiing with lessons from stuart at british masterclass here in ADH. not only can isee great improvement in my skiing but a massive improvement with my wife's. it makes it a much better skiing day when we both can ski the same runs together.

thanks Stuart
