 Poster: A snowHead
|
I know transfers vary a lot due to traffic/snow etc but what would an average transfer time from Chambery to ValD be?
According to various websites its seeems to vary wildly from 1.5hrs to 3hrs+???
I went last 19yrs ago and remember it being a long Schlepp but from Lyon I think.
Whats the perceived wisdom out there ??

Guessing slightly but if not in saturday and with no adverse weatehr it shouldn't be 3 hours. 3 hours is about the best ransfer time from lyon. I've had 1 good experience and 1 bad experience (4 and a quarter hours) from lyon. I'd say 1.5 hours would be your best achievable time from chamberry

Seriously: Chambery is about airport is about 55 minutes nearer than Lyon. Lyon is a 3.5 hr coach ride on a good day. A 12 seater minibus will be little quicker than a coach.

hedley, Must put in a disclaimer at this point - if you hit the weekend rush, be prepared to add at least another hour or two.....

I have done several coach and a couple of minibus transfers between Chambery and Val d'Isere over the last three winters and they varied around the 2 to 2.5 hours, all were on a Saturday. The big time waster was inside Chambery airport!

I generally reckon between 2 hrs & 2hrs 15 mins Chambery to Tignes le Lac, midweek. Chambery airport very quick in offloading luggage midweek, too!

You know it makes sense.

Took us 9 hours on a coach when we went. Yes it was bad weather conditions and the worst part was there were no toilet facilities !

i think 1.5 hours is optimistic! i live in chambery and am not sure i could ever do it in 1.5.. depends how daredevil you are on the bends! i'd agree with the 2-2.5 hours depending on conditions
