OK, so we have heard that out flight has been cancelled for certain tomorrow (even though the rain has washed the snow away - stupid Heathrow!), and we've managed to get a foot passenger booking for the 1300 ferry out of Dover - landing at Calais c.1630.
Big question - what is the cheapest way to get anywhere near the Grand Massif from Calais? We've been told that we should be aiming for Cluses, stationwise, but we are all for coaches etc if it's cheaper? Travelling pretty light as skis etc are already there.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can't help much, but suggest you change the title of the thread to mention you would like a lift, if indeed you would.

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

I hadn't even thought of asking for a lift! If anyone is heading towards the alps and would be up for giving us a lift, that would be amazing!

Overnight sleeper via paris to cluses looks to be E138 per person, which isn't awful for the distance concerned? No idea on coaches.....
Personally I'd be temped to wait for your airline to reschedule you if cost is a concern, short notice travel across france isn't super cheap!

The earliest we could get rebooked was the 27th. Sleeper was full when we tried to book, so we've ended up doing the slow train from Calais to Paris, followed by an almost 8 hour "sleep on the platform", and then the train to Geneva, where we have managed to arrange a lift. Total cost of £250 quid for the train  Still, it means we get to spend Christmas with the whole family, rather than sat at home, paying for the cats to be in the cattery, and with all our gifts already in France!
26 hour slog commences at 0830 tomorrow from sunny, sunny Kingston!

adamantis, good luck. Sounds like a marathon. We are headed the same way but by car, dodgy Eurotunnel, etc etc.
