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.
Ste. Foy
Ste. Foy is a relatively small resort with
just 4 chairlifts. The skiing and snowboardng here however, is excellent.
It has a good variety of pistes with some beautiful tree lined runs.
It is also very well known for it's off-piste. The town has undergone
extensive development over the last 5 years and has some fantastic
chalets built in traditional style. This is a great resort for families
and beginers/intermediates. It's close proximity to Les Arcs and Val
D'Isere/Tignes make it ideal for day trips as well.
Chambery to Ste. Foy Transfer - 135kms - approx. 1hr 45
