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.
Val D'Isere
Along with Tignes, Val D'Isere makes
up the huge Esapce Killy ski area with around 300 kms of pistes.
It is well known for it's good off-piste and snowboard parks. With
the Glacier in Tignes the area boasts a long season and good conditions
can usually be found somewhere in the resort even after long periods
without snow. The town itself (1950 metres) is very picturesque,
nestled in a narrow valley with tradionally built chalets and some
very nice hotels. There is a full range of restaurants, bars and
clubs but prices can be higher than many of the other local resorts.
Grenoble to Val D'Isere Transfer - 235kms - approx. 2hrs 45
