what do you mean by share?

It's simple, lets say 2 folks travelling together. Not too much luggage, so put it in one suitcase. If it's over 15kg then there will be an excess baggage charge levied, despite both travellers have paid for a luggage allowance. They don't allow pooling of weight allowances.

Honest answer, probably not. Most of Italy shuts on a Sunday, except bars run by English people :mrgreen:

I finally managed to get a trip sorted for the upcoming holidays, and in fact just ended up grabbing a place on my university's ski trip to Les Deux Alpes. I've never been before, and I've got no idea what to expect in terms of runs. Does anyone have any recommendations for a fairly confident skiier (Can ski Blacks without much trouble unless conditions are bad, just discovering the joys of some real off-piste.)

I'd be really interested to know of any good off-piste routes, or more challenging runs.

Thank you!
