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.
Meribel
Meribel is the most central of the Three
Valleys and, as such, is in the best location for exploring this
massive area. The main Meribel town was developed as a ski resort
using traditional style chalets and therefore retains an attractive
appearance. It runs up the eastern side of the valley through 1600m
up to the Altiport. The higher village of Mottaret is built in a
more modern style at 1700m. The newer development of Meribel Villages
is situated below the main town on the road to La Tania. Lower down
the valley is the original town of Les Allues plus a number of smaller
villages. The main nightlife spot would certainly be central Meribel
but prices are slightly higher than average for ski resorts.
Grenoble to Meribel Transfer - 210kms - approx. 2hrs 15
