Lyon Airport
Lyon Airport is situated 15 kms east of the city. There are numerous arrival and departure gates in the airport but the majority of UK flights arrive at gate 10 (terminal 3). Easyjet have regular flights landing here. Being one of the major French airports means that it is very well appointed with shops, restaurants and bars.
Whilst Lyon Airport is considerably further away than Geneva or Chambery the route is almost entirely on motorway making for fast transfer times. Be aware that even the motorway can get vey busy during French holidays with long queues at the tolls. Transfer prices do reflect the distance and tolls involved.
Val D'Isere
Along with Tignes, Val D'Isere makes up
the huge Esapce Killy ski area with around 300 kms of pistes. It is
well known for it's good off-piste and snowboard parks. With the Glacier
in Tignes the area boasts a long season and good conditions can usually
be found somewhere in the resort even after long periods without snow.
The town itself (1950 metres) is very picturesque, nestled in a narrow
valley with tradionally built chalets and some very nice hotels. There
is a full range of restaurants, bars and clubs but prices can be higher
than many of the other local resorts.
