Alastair, Thanks for the news - I know quite a few people who'll like this one.

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

Not many flights a day and no later evening returns - not much potential for cheap weekends

Even more flights to Grenoble from LGW. Have a look at www.grenoble-airport.com and it says that British Airways are flying there direct from LGW in December. Had a look at at BA site and yes a typical price for mid week in Feb is £78.00 inc taxes. So thats about 400% better now than last year when the choice was just one flight with Easyjet. They now have two, Ryanair have one and BA's one. The iceing on the cake would be direct transfers to L2A, Alp D'Huez and perhaps more. instead of going via Grenoble Coach Station. - Live in hope and dream. Anyone got any influence with transfer companies?

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

This is good but Grenoble airport isn't that much more convenient than Lyon. I reckon it's a matter of about 20mins driving time if the roads are clear (and they usually are between the airports - it's going round Grenoble and the N91 that you need to worry about on transfer day)
I do drive quite fast though

I sometimes go on the French ski train overnight, get off at Chambery, very early in the morning, loads of trains 1 hour to Grenoble. Catch a (still) early bus transfer. You can even do that to La Grave, though going out the bus isn't at the best time. I take the 2Alps bus and get out at the dam, having arranged for the hotel to send someone along the road to pick me up. And there we go, 2 extra days skiing! Crafty or What.
