Chambery Airport
Chambery Airport is situated just north
of the city. The last three years have seen a great increase in
the availability of flights here from the UK. FlyBe and Excel 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.
La Rosiere
La Rosiere is generally regarded as a
family resort with many intermediate runs. It is linked by ski lifts
with La Thuile over the border in Italy. Whilst a relatively small
area it does have some excellent off piste which can remain untracked
for days after a snow fall, and a terrain park. The
town itself at 1850 metres has some amazing views south down the
valley towards Moutiers and east towards Val D'Isere and is actually
situated on the Col de Petit St. Bernard. If you are driving out
don't get fooled by your route finder though as this road is only
open in the summer!
Chambery to La Rosiere Transfer - 145kms - approx. 2hrs
