I am being lazy as I am sure it has been asked before but anyone know if during winter there are any direct trains from Geneva to Bourg, or buses from Geneva airport to Bourg?
Cheers

Hire a car its quicker and generally cheaper. Also going via Lyon to Bourg St M is the best route.

Fogliettaz, Hiring won't be possible as it would be the in laws coming down to visit and they wouldn't drive. We would have a car up in Arc 2000, they can get flights out of Bristol to Geneva, I was just wondering if it was possible for them to get to Bourg by public transport. Cheers.

thefatcontroller, No, drive your car it's the only way for you!  You'll only miss a whole day's skiing.

Train is not a sensible option from Geneva. They could fly to Chambery were it is a short taxi ride to the train station and direct train service to BSM.

thefatcontroller, Drive the car, you'll spend most of the day in Bourg waiting for them to arrive in any case

rob@rar, They live in West Wales and Chambery is still not well served out of either Bristol or Cardiff. Just thinking of options so that if they wanted to come visit us up in 2000 and look after the kids and do our cooking they could. How noble of me

boredsurfin, Your concern is touching however as I will be resident in a snow sure part of Paradski I won't have to spend 1/2 my day on slow lifts trying to get to the skiing, so if they arrived late afternoon in Bourg that would be fine as its only 30-40 mins down the road. . Just looking at options.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

thefatcontroller, could they to Bouremouth for the FlyBe service to Chambery?

boredsurfin, Arc 2000 is about a 30-40 min drive down to Bourg
|
|
|
|
|
|
You know it makes sense.
|
|
rob@rar, Flybe is out of Southampton to Chambery unless it's changing to Bournemouth

Otherwise you'll just go on seeing the one name:

rob@rar, Bournemouth or Southampton would be a 5 hour drive for them ( they drive 50mph in inside lane)

boredsurfin, Yeah free buses run from 1600 up to 2000 but it would be nice to collect them.
