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.
Peisey/Vallandry
Situated at the southern end of Les Arcs,
Peisey and Vallandry are slap bang in the middle of the massive
Paradiski area. Made up of several villages, Plan Peisey and Vallandry
(adjacent to each other) are the only ones that are actually on
the slopes and certainly boast the best nightlife/shopping. We personally
recommend The Bar Mont Blanc. Peisey itself is lower down but
does have lift access and a couple of bars/restaurants. The smaller
town of Nancroix is very picturesque but the lifts are a short bus
ride away (you can ski down to Nancroix but the route is entirely
off piste).The skiing around here is exceptional with loads of tree
runs and the Villages themselves consist mainly of traditionally
built chalets.
Chambery to Peisey/Vallandry - 120kms - approx. 1hr 30
