Is Chambery still perpetually fogbound? (But if so... are you better off with BA who will at least be more likely to get things sorted?)

Chambery looks lovely on paper but when the weather goes wrong, it goes wrong big time. It goes wrong often too.
There is a fair chance you will end up at Geneva or, more likely, Lyon anyway, so I would book to one of those and know what my itinerary will be.

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

Or take the overnight sleeper train and ski 8 days for your 7 nights. However, now that the half-price tickets are gone it is a bit expensive (though think of it as 2 nights plus travel and it's not so bad)

You could do BA LHR to Lyon. Not a great deal further than CMF and the prices aren't too bad....

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Problem with Lyon is the flight times.
Ryanair to Grenoble are very cheap, but I'm not sure I fancy Ryanair with a crowd in tow, and winter weather too.
Where do you find out details for the sleeper train? Have you a link?
Thanks,

James the Last, it can alos depend on the cost / availabilty of transfers from aiport to resort , some links are not so good from Chamberry , can get most places grom Geneva... I suggest check this be you decide - no good having £50 flight but £400 transfer ......

Friends of ours, who love London City, fly from there to Geneva (I've picked them up there twice). Can't remember which carrier it was, but that would be a good bet. Chambery is a risk. If it were "perpetually fog bound" it wouldn't be so much of a lottery.

holidayloverxx, my friends live in Romford, so it's very easy for them. Every cloud has a silver lining.

City Airport is great, and I love it, however just to note that City is also fog prone and even in mild fog, flights are stopped due to the very short runway...
Have had several flights to/from there cancelled or diverted.
CityJet (Air France) and Swiss, of which Swiss is the only one which takes skiis for free.

michaelminhatkinson, perhaps you've used City more than me, but I've never had any delays or cancellations there
