Lack of co-ordination with the arrival of the Car-Postal bus from Vissoie: bus arrives in St Luc 10.58; it takes 10 minutes for hikers (there were about 10 people doing this) to get to the Funicular (walking quickly); the Funiculaire leaves at 11.00. We then have to wait for the NEXT ascent at 12.00. The operator responds to the complaint with some excuse about "what if the bus is delayed?". Contradicting this, the descent is 10 minutes late going down so we miss the bus from St Luc to Vissoie. Tourist Office: If the times are "flexible" use some intelligence and adapt your times for your clients! The prices are high enough to require this.
