Poster: A snowHead

Not sure if this is new news, but I got an email from Easyjet confirming they are operating Stanstead to Grenoble from 5 January. Useful for those heading to the Southern French Alps?

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Forgot to add, it's a daily service with two flights on a Staurday.

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

The location of the Grenoble airport (some 30 miles NW of the city) means most of the northern Alps resorts are just as easy to get to from Lyon, funnily enough. Not much help for the south of France, it's a long drive across to Briancon, so it only really brings the likes of Serre Che/ Alpe d'Huez/ Deux Alpes/Montgenèvre within slightly easier reach. Good to see another route opening up though.
Still easiest to access most of the southern French Alps from Marseille (quiet motorway via Aix as far as Gap) and Nice...

Useful for those of us heading to Stanstead for some English beer. Grenoble is a nice airport. Cheaper car hire than Lyon and you can usually hitch a ride on tour busses if you want to get to resorts. Otherwise it is a 2 bus affair via Grenoble - don't get into town too late.
BTW Pete, relatively it is very close to the Chartreuse and Vercors resorts... but you probably don't want to let on about those

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Actually Easyjet stopped the Stanstead-Grenoble daily service when they bought Buzz - Ya boo sucks to Easyjet. Glad to see they've seen the light. Grenoble airport is wonderful for our neck of the woods - at least an hour less on the road, no long customs etc. off the plane and onto the bus/car whatever. Sweet little place, much like Chambery but more grown up.
BTW in ski season regular buses go direct from Lyon to A d'H and LDA - Satobus. You'd need to check times though as they're not that common, but certainly on Saturday.
