Poster: A snowHead
|
Some friends have bought a chalet in Ste Foty and have invited us over for xmas/new year
They'll be driving, but I'd rather not!
So, what's the best way? We're in Bristol, and can get to Geneva by plane easy enough, Grenoble/Chambery limited flights.
Car hire is bloody expensive (about £400 for a small car for 10 days!), so advice on sensible hire would help, if not, how else to get there from the airport. e.g. Train to Bourg then Taxi.
Car would be handy though if we can get one a a deceent price.

There's a regular bus goes up from BSM to the ski station......or taxi, or hire a car from BSM for the day, drop all the kit in the chalet, then drop the car back?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I would suggest taking the Eurostar from the Uk. Then you would not need to hire a car as the resort is very near Bourg St maurice station.

it's a couple of hours from Geneva, about the same for Lyon or Grenoble, less for Chambery.....if you are intent on flying, that is....the Eurostar will be a royal PITA by the time you take into account the train from Brissle to London, and potentially more expensive. Grab a coach at the airport, or jump on a train and get to BSM....can they not pick you up from BSM?

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

One way car hire from Lyon or Geneva is the best way to get there and drop the car back at Bourg St Maurice, Europcar have an office in Bourg. It is also cheaper than the transfer buses or it was last time I did it.

You'll need to Register first of course.

One way hire looks a good idea. I'll check it out. Train is 125E EACH WAY per person which makes the UK look cheap
Looks like my friend will do the Bourg/Chalet run.
