Chambery Airport
Chambery Airport is situated just east of the city. The last five years have seen a great increase in the availability of flights here from the UK. FlyBe, Snowjet and BMI have regular arrivals at very reasonable prices. Chambery is also the nearest airport to the resorts in our area making for some very short transfers which are, for the large part on motorways.
The down side to Chambery Airport is that it is very small. There
is only one shop and one cafe on-site and on Saturdays the terminal
can be very busy. It is also situated in a fairly narrow valley which
can attract bad weather resulting in flight delays or diversions
on occasion. Having said that, when everything runs smoothly it can
make for an incredibly convenient and cheap transfer.
Tignes
Along with Val D'Isere, Tignes makes up
the huge Esapce Killy ski area with around 300 kms of pistes. It is
one of only a few resorts in Europe classified as snow-sure. It boasts
a very long winter season plus summer skiing and snowboarding on it's
glacier. It is well known for it's good off-piste, half-pipe and snowboard
parks. The night life here is also top drawer with many different
venues to choose from and a very friendly atmosphere. It is spread
over five resort centres with Les Brevieres at the bottom being the
most picturesque. Next up is Les Boisses followed by Le Lac and Lavachet
which are probably the best spots for nightlife and shopping along
with Val Claret at 2100 metres.
