The early morning Bens Bus to Geneva leaves at 0340 on Sat 23, arrives 0700.
As for parking you will probably be able to get in the Grande Motte open air car park if you arrive before lunch. They do not let people pre book that, as they don't know how many spaces they will have due to snow fall (hopefully).
That is the busiest week of the year, capacity is always an issue with parking, queues at busy times for the lifts, no tables at restaurants. It would be commercial suicide for the village if all their plans had to be gold plated to serve one week.
I doubt you would be able to find a taxy to Brev early on the Saturday as they will all be doing the first of three returns to Geneva.

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

Thanks. Yes I realise it's the busiest week - done it for the past several seasons. Not sure parking in Grande Motte is any better than Brev/Boisses for an early morning departure if the accommodation is in Le Lac.
Best option I've found so far is actually a package holiday with Crystal. That gets me flights and transfer, and I can just junk the accommodation. However, Chambery, Half Term, don't really fancy that.

I have a place in Brev, and was there for 3 weeks over X Mas.
New Year week, there was not a single space available, nothing, nada. People getting towed left right and centre.
Feb half term is MUCH busier than new Year, so I dont think you could guarantee a space in brev.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Its only a 15 minute walk not 2 hours! Or a free bus that leaves the Gare Routiere in Lac at 3.35,4.05, 5.10 and 5.35.

@Bergmeister, Yeovil. Done the same several times myself. But occasionally you get THE result that makes it all worth while - like Donny away in Feb 2002, or Forest away in 2007 in my case. In the words of Max Boyce - I know cos I was there 
@chocksaway - You must be Mo Farrah. 15 minutes? Ok Claret is a lot closer than Boisses/Brev, but even Google reckons it's 30 minutes walk. And at 3am, in the dark, in unpredictable weather conditions, on that road, and sober? I'll pass. Didn't know about the night bus - often wondered what was going on there in the middle of the night.
I think I've decided on the package holiday option anyway, and just overdose on pain killers and tranquilisers for the airports & flights both ways. I'll be the grumpy billy-no-mates if anyone sees me.

FAQ
. Only problem is I have to get myself there and back again. Could either drive from the UK, or fly - similar costs either way. Flying has the advantage 
that I can get back in time for the relegation 6 pointer clash of Yeovil vs Cambridge on the 23rd. Driving I would either have to start home Friday, or miss the match and perhaps get an extra sneaky Saturday en-piste.
