Aire: to be found at the exit of the village (after emerging from the road tunnel) in the direction of Italy. Sunny, great spot close to pistes and cross-country trails. Easy walk into village, a wee bit far in ski-boots, but ski bus stops outside Aire every 30 minutes in daytime, and you can ski onto piste below site.

Skipass can be bought at chair below site from Wednesday-Sunday or in village at other times.

The Aire is operated like a large carpark –great concept! Barrier entry system, pay prior to exit. We paid 37 euros for 5 days.

Charges decrease by the day to 7 days…then rise steeply. Consequently no long stayers.

Water, waste and hookups included. 280 places but only 80 hook-ups.

Ski School

www.a-peak.com an alternative ski school to ESF, they offer private lessons or small groups over a few days, but we didn’t try them.

Campsite: One down at St. Alberts, nothing nearer.
