It's when you can't tell up from down that I have a problem.
:oops:
And you don't know whether you are moving or stopped.

Yes, two or three lifts at Solaise and one (I think) at la Daille are free.

Imagine the view when a little "under the weather" !!!

Oh and Rocksy,
I would suggest that you go for a package rather than turn up in Geneva.
Your choices will be exponentially greater if you try to sort everything out for yourself and the possibility of something not working (commonly known as a cock up) is far greater.

Pistes are often/supposed to be marked with numbers along the side.
I think this is to help the patrol with where to go for a rescue or work on the piste.
I am not sure what the protocol is - top to bottom, bottom to top or if there is supposed to be a certain distance between markers etc.
So daaw, I don't think your question is daft but I'm not able to give you a clear answer.
Oh and piste maps tend to be very schematic and bare little relationship to what the mountain is really like.
