MOUNTAIN DROP OFFS ARE BY FAR THE BEST OPTION. THE END .
Had friends that worked for Mountain drop offs about 15 plus years ago ( One did many seasons in Cham for MDoff along with many of my mates Neil Brickley was his name ) I have used Mountain Drop offs and can highly recommend them ..
If you pay an extra 5 euros on Alpy you can take any later bus, regardless of price, if you miss your booked time…….just saying.
Thanks for the info. I would like to see a video about your background in skiing, as an example telling us where you started skiing and how did you become so good at it.
NEVER EVER BOOK the ABORTION of an operation that is "ALPY BUS" they regularly lie to customers, ignore the customer service phone for hours if you have a problem (such as they never picked you up from outside our hotel, we were not alone in that it turned out for that day) ..& if you are stupid enough to ignore & book with ALPYBUS then need to speak to them USE the booking option on their answerphone, because they answer that, (my phone calls were ignored for severl hours until we went that route) ..plenty of negative reviews around for them.
The Alpy bus area at geneva (when we knew on the outward leg how crap they would be) was an explosion of people in a corner, the staff did not convey clearly / loudly instructions, so people were left behind, it was a mess, ripped my board bag as well.
For the return pick up I was stood outside the hotel (as instructed) for hours waiting their vans sailed past us, no pick up, then insisted they had stopped outside, gone into reception & shouted, they hadn't as confiirmed by the hotel apt reception staff also.
when we had another van sent out (OUR VAN HAD SAILED OVER THE BRIDGE Half empty, we saw it hours ago, as it never stopped) there were other couples in exactly the same boat.
Essentially you will get lies, BS, & uncertainty via ALPYBUS, we made our flight with mere seconds to go, not minutes, seconds, no thanks to the underwhelming, tosses not given staff at Alpybus office.
(it made swallowing the cost of a car on other trips far easier to accept, we have used other transfer services which have been flawless, but ALPYBUS !? "** NO"
Read your contract with them very carefully too, they essentially reserve the right to bend you over & shaft you sideways!
i've enjoyed your weather vids – and now your travel info. i'm booked M-0SRQ3EEZ – for a pick up from Geneva on the morning of 2/17. i hope that you are driving then…!
