It depends how you are travelling ..car train air?

Car ..I would ..and do ,,have a roofbox averything goes in and is kept dry and safe

Air..a good ski bag that is well marked so it stands out when you get to the receiving airport so no-one can mistake it for theirsin my double ski bag I could get lots of other softer stuff in as well

Train ..I would get a solid one with wheels

Enjoy your stay ..it's a great area but do try taking the bus up to Alba ..it's much easier than going up from Canazei and the Campac area is great try the black down under the cable car it's not that hard

Hi ....I have been to the Val Di Fassa most years for the past 10 and I usually stay in Campitello ( Hotel Primula which I can recommend) very central for the whole of the valley but not much in the way of apres ...the bus service up and down the valley is great I usually get the bus up to Alba rather than queue for the gondola in Campitello ..but from there it is relatively easy to get to the Val Gardena ...from Alba you can either go up to the top of Belvedere or the other way to Campac.
Canazei is much more lively and has a bigger choice of hotels but its a bubble and a cable car to get anywhere..Pozza looks quite nice but I have never stopped there the access to the Sella Ronda is more difficult but it is easier to access the areas up the Passo San Pelegrino as well as the Campac area ...In all its a great area

Never driven to Valloire but have driven lots of time ...why stop in the UK then travel ...it is so much better to cross the channel the night before and stop in France in Calais or nearbye you gain two hours as no time difference when you wake up and no channel to cross

The place I have been at Xmas is Obertuern ...usually snow sure and varied runs ..nothing too difficult It is in a bowl and you can ski round the village ..lots of restaurants and nice hotels ...Flying to Salzburg and a short (2hr) transfer https://www.obertauern.com/en/service-info/getting-there/fly-shuttle.html

Why is a ski so strange ?? but a fire hydrant now that is strange

That's mad!!!

Having stayed in Moutiers in an apartment opposite the road up I can vouch for those figures ...the queues on the road sometimes lasted for hours
