Is it possible to drive from Turin Airport to BSM/Les Arcs? What's the route inthe winter, and how long would it take? Anyone done this, perhaps as an alternative to Geneva or Lyon airports?

Drive to La Thuile, Strap rucksack to back, ski to La Rosiere, right down to Seez, bus to BSM. I believe this method may have some drawbacks.

rob@rar.org.uk, 2:39 mins via the Frejus, not too bad really. Or 1:38 mins to La Thuile!

Yes, I'd have to factor in some extra time to stop for decent hot chocolate before heading across the border into France!

Are there any problems with taking hire cars from Turin across the border into France?

Frosty the Snowman, apologies! Forgot the usual www.viamichelin.fr caveats. Except on a February Saturday, or in a Reliant Robin. Or if the missus is map reading.

Frosty the Snowman, Drawbacks? probably not as many as driving and isn't there a good train service to Aosta?

PG - the Michelin directions gave me a route that would take 3.56 hours - what did you enter to get 2.39 hrs?
Masque - Can you give me more details of the train service - how far is Aosta from Les Arcs 1800?
Thanks

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

wondercat, Seriously, the Aosta - La Thuile option, is not an option

this one? (Turin - Bourg St Maurice, standard Michelin recommended route) (to Bourg, not Les Arcs, another 30 mins or so depending on where you're staying if on the mountain).

PG, is right the tunnel is the only way, 2 hrs is about right , football fanatics have been known to drive to Turin for a big game, they,ve always claimed you can get there in 2 hrs.

Sorry to keep asking questions, but is it relatively simple to drive from Bourg to Les Arcs 1800?
Not that keen on driving abroad and bit wary of snowy roads and steep driving - but think it's the only way we'll afford it - the share coach transfers are extortionate.
Cheers
