 Poster: A snowHead
|
Ive been looking at this resort, we are hoping to avoid a package holiday and book things ourselves.
We can get flights from Glasgow to Grenoble for £75 which is very reasonable so we are trying to work out the best way to get to the resort.
Ive looked at private transfers working out about £120 per person. Also trying to look into this snow train but I dont know what stops I would need to get on at and where to get off.
Anyone got any advise???
Or could the recommend another resort which is within easy distance from Grenoble?

I would advise you to look at the flight times as most receptions close at 9pm so if you do use this service make sure your accommadation is open in the middle of the night because those flight times are awfull hence why they appear to be cheap because no where is open at that time of night in france,

Yeah, I think the plan would be to stay over night and get the train in the morning to the resort. Think Ive managed to work out which train stations we would depart and arrive at.

dj_colinbell,
You'd need to get to Grenoble and then train via Chambery to Moutiers. There should be buses upto the village through the day.
Nearest resorts to Grenoble would be ADH and L2A which is about 90 mins by bus...they say.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

There is a bus direct from airport to Moutiers, then another bus to meribel. You need to look on Airport web site and look for link to bus company. Not sure how many go each day or the times. You need to check. Much easier than trains.

Hi, I may well be driving back to Meribel empty so would be pleased to give a lift door to door for a small consideration per person.

dj_colinbell, how many of you are travelling? If it's more than 2 then car hire might be your best bet.
It's an easy drive to Meribel from Grenoble, motorway nearly all the way, probably take between 2 and 2.5hrs

How many of you are "we"? I have always found car hire cheaper than a private transfer for 3+, maybe even for 2, and gives gret flexibility over transport, en route stops etc. That free lift offer sounds good though...
