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.
Montchavin/Les Coches
Montchavin and Les Coches are situated at
the northern end of La Plagne right next to the Vanoise Express link
to Les Arcs. This puts them right in the middle of the massive Paradiski
area. Both consist mainly of traditionally built chalets and are set
amongst the trees. Montchavin is relatively low down and the smaller
of the two. Les Coches has more bars and restaurants and benefits
from greater altitude. The skiing around is here fantastic with loads
of amazing tree runs. Obviously venturing further afield either towards
Les Arcs or La Plagne gives you access to all the terrain you could
possible need.
Chambery to Montchavin/Les Coches - 115kms - approx. 1hr 25
