J2Ski Holiday 2014

Would happily join you but tied to school hols unfortunately. Maybe you could find something nice/suitable in Madonna di Campiligo (locals call the place Campiglio). It is centrally positioned both for Folgarida/Marilleva on one side and Pinzolo in the other (a new modern cable car link from M.d. Campiglio was opened last season, takes about 20 min). Also M.d.C has a good (modern) lift system in case the weather's not perfect, Folgarida/Marilleva are lacking well behind with their investments into lifts. We've always done DYI package to there but I'm sure quite a few TOs offering their packages now too. We first went 2004, there weren't many skiers from UK then but things have changed. The place is relatively easy to get to from both Verona and Bergamo, unfortunately no more flights to Brechia from UK.

Thanks for that information :)

We did try looking at hotels in Madonna di Campiglio, but we couldn't find any cheap enough, which were otherwise suitable for us. Hence we started looking at Folgarida.

We are considering Venice Marco Polo aiport, because BA go there from Gatwick, and Verona (Valerio Catullo) as BA go there as well, and Milan Bergamo as RyanAir fly there from Manchester and London Stansted. Monarch fly from Manchester to Verona (Valerio Catullo), and Venice. Jet2.com only seem to fly to Venice in the summer, but EasyJet fly from Manchester to Verona (although this season only on Saturdays) and from Gatwick to Verona and Venice Marco Polo.

There also seems to be a bus shuttle service, 'Flyskishuttle.com' going between Folgarida (and Campiglio) and Verona Catullo, Milan Bergamo, Venice Marco Polo, and Venice Treviso for only 32 euros return this season.

I'd be very interested too. I'm new on this forum but it feels right already. I'd be on my own and happy to share with another single. I can pay up front if necessary.

no luck on where we are going then ally ?

Hi Jadavi

Send AllyG a PM and she will add you to the list of interested parties.

We had a great time this year on our trip to Tignes and all the J2Skiers were very friendly. I am sure you will enjoy the 2014 trip.

We had several singles who were happy to share and Ally is a master at organising everyone and making sure we get good accommodation.

Once we have a definite booking, as people pay their deposits, they are invited to join a private Facebook page and this allows us all to get to know each other a bit before we go away. This worked very well for Tignes and it felt like meeting old friends when we eventually met up.

I hope you will join us and look forward to meeting you next year.

Oldboarder.

Ally is busy having a good time skiing in Tignes but she has her finger on the pulse just the same and is in contact with the preferred hotel. I expect more will be posted next week when she is back.

nice 1, cheers felthorpe

Thanks. I have been reading this thread from the start so I feel I know some of you a little already haha!
