- Cervinia is certainly a must both for the slopes and for the landascape.
- You can get there by bus or by car.
-
- If you want to use the train I strongly suggest to move to the neighbourings
- of the French border. If my memory doesn't fail, you have an IC train from Milan
- to Lyon, France every morning at 7.30 or so.
- In a couple of hours you can reach some of the most exciting slopes in the alps.
-
- If you get off at OULX, you can ski in the "Via Lattea" (Milky Way) ski domain, which
- includes Sauze d'Oulx, Cesana, Sestriere, Sansicario, Claviere and Montgenevre (France).
- You will find hundreds of Kms of slopes and ski for days without taking twice the same
- lift. Many of the slopes are equipped with artificial snow "cannons".
- Try the "Kandahar" World Cup Super-G slope!
-
- If you get off at BARDONECCHIA (last stop before the border), you will find two
- domains (Colomion :1300-2600m) and Jafferau (1300-2800m), with 140 Km. of slopes, some
- of which are very challenging. (On Jafferau you can test the women's dowmhill track
- for 1997 World Champinoships, or ski without stop from 2800 meters to 1300).
-
- The same train will bring you back to Milan before midnight.
-
- If you need more information, feel free to contact me.
-
- Let me know how you find these places : season's greetings & lots of fun!
