Turin airport to Val D'Isere

My mapoint application reckons its quicker to drive to Val D'Isere from
Turin than Geneva! Would anyone concur? Is it possible to do the drive
in winter? I wondered if the application was taking me via a pass that
was closed in the winter!

The D902 goes over the Col d'Iseran, for which viamichelin says 'probable
closure from October to June because of snowfalls'.

The D902 ? Aka the Col D'Iseran, the Route des Grandes Alpes.

I've never had reason to drive from Turin to Val but it doesn't look a
bad drive, about 180 km and just over 3 hours maybe.

You're going for the opening weekend ? I could sell you a lift :-)
I'll be passing the airport :-)

Yeah, because you never know when the value of 2^15 will change and
you have to go through all your code fixing it.

I did the journey 2 years ago, dropping someone of mid week. Would not
recommend it. Back down in Leon direction then off to Turin.

The Frejus tunnel can take hours, they were controlling the amount of
traffic entering, We missed the plane despite allowing 2 hours aver the
4-5 hour estimate.

On leaving Turin Airport I had a huge job terming in the direction back
to France. I could be me! but needs careful navigation or a GPS: (life
saver)

The flights were cheep though.

It closed last Wednesday for the winter.

The D902 goes over the Col d'Iseran, for which viamichelin says 'probable
closure from October to June because of snowfalls'.

Someone should tell Michelin to change that to "certain closure". The road
from Col de l'Iseran down to Val is part of the piste map....

The winter route from Turin takes you down the Maurienne motorway and then
back up the Tarentaise past Albertville and Moutiers. I doubt that from
Turin you can get to Albertville faster than from Geneva (approx 1.5 hours).

In summer I wonder if it would not be more direct to go Turin-Aosta-Pre
St.Didier-Col du Petit St.Bernard-Seez-Val d'Isere

You're right. The Iseran from Turin takes ages even in summer - and it
cost a lot. Turin-Aosta-PSD-Petit St.Bernard-Val D'Isere is 3 hours
max.

In winter Iseran and Pt. St. Bernard are always closed - the fastest
way to Isere is from Geneva.

Be careful with directions. This summer just outside Courmayeur I had
twice people (who had driven all the way from Turin Airport) asking me
direction to Briancon!!!!

Probably worth bearing in mind that Turin Airport in winter can be worse
than the charter terminal at Geneva! Last time I landed there the luggage
from
three busy flights was on one carousel. The skis were brought out and left
in a narrow gap. Total chaos.

Oh, and Turin airport is notorious for fog.
