Hi all,

I'm going to Europe april- may next year. Wondering if anyone has any tips on keeping cost in check? Hire a van? train it around?

Planning on going to ITW, Verdon and the valley.

Thanks

take a train to L.B. Have fun, enjoy, be respectful (to you and everyone else). meet awseome humans from around the world. Then, split van rental with your fun new friends and check out Italy and France.....don't eat out or go to bar.

Good luck...have fun!

just drop Verdon. your medical costs will go down faster than a cat in freefall .Work on subtermtracks at ITW, take it to the Valley.

Excellent advice from both posters.

Verdon has tricky landings in Lauterbrunnen's standards, but huge for Aussie's standards.

If you are used to Twin Falls / Lauter / ITW you're a pussy don't go to Verdon
If your original playgrounds are the blue mountains and W.......'s fall, go for it ! piece of cake

Don't get hurt and enjoy your trip

Spot on. i couldnt say it better.
Take care,

Train can be a really good option for France and Switzerland, as it is easy and not so expensive to reach LB from Paris. Plus you don't need to do all the papers for a renting car.

As per Le Verdon, even if I left an ankle there, and if most of the landings are tricky, the aera is really stunning and the jumps nice to do.

You can mp me if you need advices in France and - maybe - contact for Le Verdon.
