  #1  Serre Chevalier lift pass extras  Posted 02/03/2010 @ 08:06
Just booked a week in Serre Chevalier and notice that the lift pass offers 'one day in Montgenevre, Les 2 Alpes and Alpes D'Huez' as part of it's access.

Can anyone say if this is a day in each or have I just got one day and have to choose which resort I spend the extra day in?

Did a week in L2A last year so not both'd with that one, and Montgen not my first choice either, but if the pass allows me to have a day there would consider it, but D'Huez is my choice if I only have one day. Which leads to my next question; getting from Serre Chev to D'Huez. Any advice on how to do it? Is there a bus? If so, how much would it cost?

All info greatly appreciated

Not exactly what you asked, but there is a bus to Montgenevre. It's the Briancon-Oulx bus run by Resalp, it leaves a few times a day from the Briancon SNCF station, I don't think the free ski bus goes here but there is a Resalp bus that runs down the valley that stops there. They take boards no problem. In Montgenevre I think it stops by the Tourist Information (I didn't get off there, I was on my way to Torino to go home ).

Serre Che is annoyingly hard to find transport info about, I discovered. Also, there ARE daily busses to Grenoble, despite what the internet might suggest (assuming the Col is not shut due to snow). Much faster than the train.

If you booked a package with one of the main tour operators you'll probbaly find that they will put on a bus for a small(ish) charge. You could enquire about this with the tour operator before you go, but you may find that they are a bit useless and you may have to wait until you get there and ask the local rep to find out.

Cheers Mikey & Ride The Skies, have since found out the pass IS a day in each

Don't think L2A will be one I'll go for, but good to know if Serre was bad, you had options.

Got details of this lot from someone I was speaking to about getting to the other resorts

www.alpine-transfer-company.com

Thought I'd post it up for anyone else thinking about transfers either airport or resort to resort.
