Grenoble Airport
Do not be mislead by the map, Grenoble Airport
is actually situated approximately half-way between the Cities of
Grenoble and Lyon so transfers from here may take longer than you
think.
The Airport itself is similar in size to Chambery with only one shop
and one bar. For 2007 they extended the airport by adding a new arrivals
gate in the shape of a marquee! Having said that the main terminal
is a very modern and significantly quieter than Chambery.
There are two routes available from here either on the motorway (faster
by 10-15 mins) or the more direct and very picturesque route through
Chartreuse. Your driver will be happy to take either provided there
are no time constraints.
Les Arcs
Les Arcs is the Cool Bus local resort
so expect nothing but a completely biased review here! The resort
is fantastic with tons of terrain, particularly now that it is linked
with La Plagne via the largest ski lift in the world. There is some
incredible off-piste with the only downside being that it does get
tracked out very quickly. The snowboard park is extremely well shaped
and maintained. Sadly no halfpipe though. There are excellent tree
runs around 1600 and vallandry. It also has the longest ski run
in the Alps from the top of the Rouge all the way down to Villaroger.
If you want nightlife go to 1800. If you want nice chalets go to
Vallandry. If you want to be closest to the best terrain go to 1950
or 2000. That is it in a nutshell!
Grenoble to La Rosiere Transfer - 235kms - approx. 2hrs 45
