 Poster: A snowHead
|
So we've settled on the Milky Way for the lads trip in January. Flight options are LPL-GRB or MAN-TRN.
I know Turin is closer but we'd prefer LPL as it's more convenient but wondered whether we could get a transfer rather than hire a car?

halfhand, it's quite a distance.
Have you booked accom, otherwise I'd look closer to GRB.

or just get the flight to Turin, where it is a very easy transfer.

Hells Bells, Thanks, I guess car hire is also a possibility.
under a new name, Accommodation booked (I think, not my department). Looks about 2.5hrs by road, which is not an issue for us.

halfhand, but the tunnel will slow things down AND add considerably to cost.

halfhand, indeed it is. My geography of that neck of the woods is clearly rubbish. Still think you'll be hiring a car though!

Sauze is only an hour in car from Turin Airport, why on earth go to Grenoble?

Turin by far the best option.
Surely better / easier / cheaper to do the extra travelling this side (i.e. driving to Manchester rather than Liverpool) and then save yourself loads of hassle and cost the other side??

jirac18, jellemr, Hells Bells, I agree too but as in the OP, Liverpool is more convenient as a departure point and unfortunately apartment is Sat - Sat. Ergo, flight from Liverpool is the one. Anyway it's out of my hands as it's been booked. The advantage of not organising is that I can moan at someone else when it goes belly up

halfhand, have you sorted out your transfer to Sauze yet? If not I run the website sauzeonline.com and I can arrange transfers to the resort from all major airports. Get a quote online at http://www.sauzeonline.com/airport-transfers/ or just let me know how many are travelling and I'll give you a price.

...think you'll be doing a lot of moaning at your mate that booked this. Grenoble airport is in the middle of nowhere and takes about half an hour to get to Grenoble city for trains and other transport options and will make the journey very long by the time you've got your connections.
A hire car or private transfer are the only options. As it's not a regular route people take, a private van will be the only choice probably, as I doubt anyone will be going that way and a shared transfer will be out. You'll be doing well to get much change out of 500 Euros each way, baring in mind that is over 50 just to get through the Frejus tunnel one way, without the rest of the tolls. Have a look at the Coolbus website as well.
Good luck!

Hi musher, season dates this year are 6/12/13 - 13/4/14.
Easter is late this year and it's a pity that they are not staying open for it but the last arrivals day for the big UK tour operators is the 30th March.
Means they'll be some great skiing to be had the last week of the season if anyone fancies a DIY trip.
