Dont say that!

but I think it could be a problem if you were going DIY.

Don't say that!

Just thought you really liked me... ;)

Just checked with the ski pass people, apparently the price is for all of Espace Killy.

"Ski over to Val d'isere one day and go down the black run Le FACE it's great as a handover cure."

On that note, I checked the Tigne website for lift pass prices yestereday. Do the prices quoted on the site include access to ski in Val d'isere as well, or will there be an extra charge for that?

Thanks for the replies.

We've already booked the flights and the car. We land in Chambrey at 13:25 on a Monday so might hit some traffic. (If it's any worse than the traffic in Piccadilly Circus last night, I'll eat my ski boots!)

Really looking forward to the trip. We head off the last week of January so hopefully the conditions will be good. Having done some research on the net, and reading through these forums, Tignes looks and sounds fantastic… can't wait!!

Has anyone done this?

It's seems pretty straight forward on google, but was just wondering if anyone had any top tips, re short cuts, avoiding toll roads etc.

Cheers

Off to Kaprun tmrw @5:30am :shock:

Looking forward to it though, I suppose I'd better think about packing soon.

Hopefully we'll be able to use the car, and avoid this bus, and the crush :(

Thanks for the tips. Hopefully we'll be lucky with the snow and have a great week :D
