Sunday - Snowday!
❄ Sunday is a “day off” for everyone: the scout house will remain available for all until 18:30.
❄ Bessen Haut is 3km away from Sestriere, a ski resort that is part of the huge Milky Way ski areaequipped with many touristic services: in addition to ski areas, you can ice skate, rent a pair of snowshoes, go sledding with huskies or swimming into the outdoor heated pool, rent a snowmobile, or even go to heliski.
❄ If you want to try out skiing or snowboarding, you can book a lesson to one of the many schools out there.
❄ Or, you can simply make a snowman or take a walk, then gorge yourself with polenta and fondue in a typical restaurant, like a real mountain man ;)

All of these activities are (obviously) at your expense, but we’ll gladly help you planning your day, before and during the event, according to everyone’s wishes.
For those who want to simply go skiing or snowboarding, the daily skipass is 38€ (or 28€ at the near ski station of Cesana - Monti della Luna, smaller but nonetheless pretty good). Renting a pair of skis and boots in one of the many shops at the start of the slopes is about 15-20€.

I want to arrive earlier or stay longer!
No problem at all: there are 12 places available into the staff house (it’s a private home, few minutes away from Bessen Haut’s Alpine House).
If you want to arrive on Thursday, and/or leave on Monday, you’re welcome to join us until places are sold out (in case there will be more requests, places will be assigned prior to Associated Producers and Supporters, in this order).
In case, we’ll ask you to contribute with 25€ per night; in addition to the overnight stay, a dinner the evening before, and breakfast the morning after, will be included. And if you need a ride somewhere, we’ll try to help you out!
Note: the house is nice and big, but it isn’t a hotel; it will be more like a vacation with friends, only it won't ever be up to you to cook, wash dishes or do the shopping :)

We’ll stay for the weekend at the Casa Alpina "John XXIII", in Bessen Haut, a small hamlet reachable from Sestriere (though being part of Sauze di Cesana municipality).

The nearest railway station is in Oulx, 20km away from Sestriere, on the Turin-Paris train line.
Sestriere is connected by many local buses to Turin, and Oulx itself. The Bessen Haut hamlet is just 3 km from Sestriere, across a flat road through the woods.

Anyway, our advice is to reach to the location by car, or take the train to Oulx, from where the Staff will organize car rides.
The Alpine house has a private parking.

Only for the international run, we’ll organize a larp bus from Turin to Bessen Haut, at about 15, or max 20€ per ride (better explained, the total cost per ride is 400€, that will be divided by the number of passengers).
The bus will leave from Turin airport (Caselle) at 13:30, will stop at Turin railway station (Porta Susa) at 14:00 and will arrive at Bessen Haut at about 16:00. The itinerary could change according to needs, but we won’t leave at a earlier time - if you book your flight in order to arrive in Turin before these times, you’ll surely get the larp bus.
