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 Thorens
Along with Les Menuires, Val Thorens
is at the top of the most westerly of the three Valleys - Vallee
de Belleville. With the village situated at 2300 metres and the
highest run starting at 3200 metres, this is another resort that
can boast an excellent snow record. With access to Meribel and Courchevel,
the variety of terrain is huge. Val Thorens has its own snowboard
park which is right near the town. It is well appointed with bars,
restaurants and nightclubs but is certainly not the most attractive
looking resort. Be aware that It can be very cold here at night
and the drive up from Moutiers takes around 45 minutes on a good
day.
Grenoble to Val Thorens Transfer - 235kms - approx. 2hrs 45
