Looking for a ski buddy - Isola 2000 Jan 27 to Feb 2

KaseLieberKase

Anyone interested in teaming up for a trip to Isola 2000?

My girlfriend/friends are not interested in skiing or tied up with other commitments.

Flights to Nice are currently under €80 (Sunday 26 Jan to Sunday 2 February) and bus transfer is €12 return. I've a small apartment booked with space for up to 3 guests.

I'm based in Dublin if you would like to meet in person first.

Hi, not sure if you have gone to Isola before but just a bit of advice as I have gone a few times:

-bus times (lignesdazur) can be awkward with Aer Lingus and Ryanair arrivals (might need to stay in Nice on Sunday night-Ibis @ Airport can be cheap).
Ryanair late return to Dublin from Nice is perfect as it will allow you practically a full days skiing and then get the ski bus to the airport.


- As for ski passes look out for 50% off Flash sale every Tuesday @ 7pm (will work out at €81 for 7 days Mon-Sun).

-For Ski hire -I have used Ski Republic, Inter sport, Snowell & Snowbrainer. A few of them do 7 days for price of 6.
All will have discounts codes online or by subscribing to newsletter.

Also one last thing-Tourism Office run events weekly (most of the time free) so worth keeping an eye on (updated week in advance Tues-Mon):

Hope this helps and you recruit a few budding skiers for the week.
(Sorry I could n't paste in the website links but send me a PM if you need anything further).

Thanks for all the tips, much appreciated.

You're right about the bus times not lining up. I will be spending one night in Nice before setting off to Isola, should be there for around 9am so thankfully not missing much.

Got my discount pass yesterday after one previous failed attempt!

Fingers crossed for a ski buddy, original plan was to get a bed in a hostel dorm and make friends that way but I couldn't find one so figured I'd take a shot in the dark posting here.
