 Poster: A snowHead
|
hi there,
I am taking a group of work colleagues to Val D'Isere on 1st April next year. We plan to land first thing Saturday morning and can fly into Geneva or Grenoble. Any views on which would be best would be gratefully received? What would approx transfer time be that time of year?
Thanks
mr ted

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

Cheers, they look great although as there will 20 of us we will be getting a private transfer. Any ideas on which airport is likely to be quickest at that time of year?

I have only used Chambery over the last few years (with Crystal). It's the closest, but if weather gets bad, flights are re-routed. Geneva may be the safest bet.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Cheers for that, you are probably right.

For 20 you will need 3 minivans (max 8 each). Buses of 20 seats are very hard to come by and none of the transfer companies I know of have them. As you need 3 at once try one of the bigger companies such as Coolbus based in Bourg.
As April Fool's Day is relatively low season next year, then 3 hours from Geneva, 2 hours 45 from Lyon or Grenoble, 2 hours from Chambery. I guess it depends on your location (s) in the UK and flight availability for 20 seats.

@mr ted, post something here https://www.facebook.com/groups/850771538271311/
All the local transfer companies are on there.
I prefer Geneva as there is much more choice of flight times. Transfer time to Val is just over 2 hours by car and nearer 3 hours in a transfer bus.
If you are arriving in the morning, it's 10-15 mins longer but the route via Annecy is stunning

Mark Warner changed from Geneva to Grenoble as the transfer time is shorter. Geneva always seemed to be horrendously busy as well and a real bunfight for baggage reclaim. You had to go outside to find your skis as well.
I prefer Grenoble.
