Have you been to the Alliey before? We're going for the first time in Feb. Sounds excellent. Is the nearest lift walkable? Thanks

JonMitch, welcome to snowHeads. Not sure about the Alliey, but is this your first trip to Serre Chevalier?

JonMitch, we have stayed in the Alliey before, about a 5 min walk to lift, but village ski bus stops outside. Food is excellent, make sure that ski gear is generous around the waist.

Just checking out the routes from NIce Airport, we have decided to fly there instead, as Easyjet to Geneva from Newcastle wasn't at convenient times, and the drive is still quite a long one. Anyone done this route before, AA and Michelin disagree on the route, one taking us via Turin, the other via Vars and Guillestre.

You are better off flying to Torino - only about an hours drive and the possibility of buses it you're lucky

Welcome to snowHeads brendangibson, useful first post too. If you can get the flights from Newcastle Helen, then I'd have thought the Turin option far better, from experience. Mind you, I managed to make the journey in 1.5 hours and wasn't exactly hanging around

Mark Hunter, no flight to Turin from up here, except charter, and as it's a 4 hour drive to either Stansted or Luton, plus 1.5 form Turin, we figured it's actually quicker and cheaper to get a direct flight to Nice, as we often need a hotel room near Stansted.

You know it makes sense.

I did wonder Helen. Thats's a bit of a bug really.

iI think Ryanair are starting a flight to Bergamo which will be closer than Nice,but not until end of Feb, also there's a Sleazyjet to Geneva, but we thought the Col du Lauteret might be a bit dodgy in bad weather , in the dark, as the flight doesn't get to GVA until 9ish. Nice is early morning, and we can take a couple of routes depending on the weather, adn stil have plenty of time. Aslo, late flight out, so can probably manage a morning's skiing before we have to leave

Mark Hunter, , I don't think the mountain pass is open in the Winter anyway, so turning round was your best option .
