 Poster: A snowHead

Quickest transfer I've ever had from Tignes VC to Geneva on a Winters Saturday today, just over 3 hours, very pleasant.

Our transfer with Bens Bus from Les Deux Alpes to Grenoble was very straight forward at 0700 this morning. No delays at all on the roads. Shame I can’t speak so highly of Grenoble airport thereafter.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Update: After refueling at Marseille, finally landed at Grenoble where we were held on board. Huge queue at immigration/passport control, delays getting bags, and then around 5 hours coach transfer to Val Claret (so guess hit some traffic along the way or didn't take the quickest route)
Check in at LHR 4am, arrival at VC 6pm.

Driving back from La Plagne to Geneva tomorrow for an evening flight - anyone got any knowledge of any potential delays that I might mitigate by leaving early? Thank you

@Canuck, sorry but not unusual on a Sat in Feb holidays , although it does look rather rough today . Just seen a post
Translated from Savoie traffic FB page
Paralyzed traffic on the A43, A430 and N90 highway between Aiton and Moutiers direction Bourg-Saint-Maurice. At 4:00pm, 69% of the estimated traffic has been downhill, 41% of the expected traffic has been uphill.  Highways Info Traffic France
Still many more to get up to the stations

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

We were going the other way at 5pm having left Val d’Isere a little after 3.30. The jam was incredible, from Albertville and on and on past the péage and on for miles.
We could see people out of their cars. And occasionally traffic would be moving, and people would be running to catch up.
@Canuck, we guessed a five hour traffic jam but that was clearly off by a huge amount. I wonder when the tail end will get up the hill?

@Canuck, Possibly not … I’m 57 but when I was 15 or 16 we travelled to Les Arcs during the February holidays only to stop just outside Chambrey and not move for 24hrs , a huge Rock the size of a house landed on the main road in La Lechere (town before Moutiers ) everyone eventually had to be redirected through the train yard !
