...Sometimes. Today, I had an afternoon training at the piste l'ours. The base of the telecabine is about 40 switchbacks from Sion. I checked the bus schedule and it read that the bus came daily at 4:15 PM to bring skiers down to Sion. Come 4:15... nothing. 4:30... uh oh. The only place in Switzerland where buses are late is Montreux (refer to above post), so I knew that this meant trouble. After tracking down the last person left at the mountain, the liftie shutting down for the night, I was relieved to find out that he lived near Sion and would give me a lift. I think I'd still be walking down the 40 switchbacks if it weren't for him. Whew, that was close!

Gotta love public transportation
