 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi All,
my partner and I have recently invested in a 4x4 and were thinking about driving from the UK to France and probably to Chamonix.
Has anyone ever done a self drive ski holiday? IF so, how much does it roughly cost, ie petrol/b and b etc?
Cheers
Jodie

Jode_123, don't listen to kitenski. It's impossible to get over the pass to Chamonix in ANY car, especially a 4x4. Try windsurfing.

I think that's the return cost or for something a lot larger than a car.

£ against € was at a very similar level last Christmas I seem to remember?

ViaMichelin says €71.30 tolls each way from the Tunnel to Chamonix and about 8 hours driving which I'd say is about right (only about half an hour not on the Motorway)

It cost us about £300 return last year, plus crossing costs. That was door to door from Chelmsford.
