 Poster: A snowHead
|
Was going to be getting a nice convenient transfer with our TO from Chambery but some people in our group are flying to Geneva and apparently they'll only do one or the other for some reason. I wanted the Geneva people to just book ben's bus (actually cheaper than the TO transfer) but they're being arsey for some reason. So now I'm stuck trying to book transfers for 2 (at the moment) from Chambery.
Anyone got any good tips? At the moment I keep being quoted €275 a head and stuff, can only seem to find private transfers not shared ones.
Noticed on the Chambery airport website there's a coach that's €50 return, anyone used that before? It takes a bit longer than proper transfers, but it's a hell of a lot cheaper - can't seem to find anyone doing cheap transfers from Chambery. Will they be fussy about me taking skis (surely not)?
Flying out 14th Jan and back 21st if that makes any difference.

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

Have you looked at renting a car from the airport? Whenever I fly with friends/family, this is now what we do, as it has proven for me to be a lot cheaper than most of the transfer companies - especially if there is more than 2 of you. Just a thought.
www.carhire3000.com is a good place to start

Doesn't help that we're all under 25 really... But still cheaper than these transfers I've been quoted!
'Bout £180 for the week, not so bad... Assuming there's parking and so on.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I know some people get the bus from Chambery airport to Chambery rail station, then train to Moutiers, and then you have a decent bus service up to Val Thorens. I've not done it myself (but have used the bus from Moutiers, and that bit was fine - about 10 euro each way I think)

You'll need to Register first of course.

French Alps parking is usually quite expensive at about €70 a week. However, when staying at Val Thorens we have used the free parking at Les Menuires on two or three occasions - all the more to spend on un or deux bieres  ....
Can advise on the location if any interest.

Why not take the train from Chambery to Moutier and then take the local bus up the valley. I'm not sure how you get from the Airport to the train station but I imagine there must be a shuttle.

I've travelled to Moutiers by train from Borg, then caught the bus to VT. That bit was fine, I should think that there will be trains running from the Airport but it's the changing at stations and added time that puts on the journey that could clinch whether it is worth doing or not.
