Lyon Airport
Lyon Airport is situated 15 kms east of
the city. There are numerous arrival and departure gates in the Airport
but the majority of UK flights arrive at gate 17 which is conveniently
close to the minbus car park. Being one of the major French airports
means that it is very well appointed with shops, restaurants and bars.
Whilst Lyon Airport is considerably further away than Geneva or Chambery
the route is almost entirely on motorway making for fast transfer
times. Be aware that even the motorway can get vey busy during school
holidays though, with long queues at the tolls. Transfer prices do
reflect the distance and tolls involved.
La Plagne
The resort of La Pagne is made up of
many villages. Starting from the bottom - Plagne 1800, Plagne Centre,
Aime La Plagne, Plagne Bellecote and Belle Plagne (all of the purpose
built, high rise variety). There's also Plagne Villages and Plagne
Soleil, not to mention Montalbert and Champagny which are accessed
from the other side of the resort. The ski runs sprawl over a very
large area and provide a very wide range of terrain. The park is
fairly average but the pipe is very good after it has been groomed.
La Plagne has a reputation as an intermediate, family resort but
this is far from the truth as it has plenty of harder runs and very
good off-piste than can remain untracked for several days after
a snowfall.
Lyon to La Plagne- 230kms - approx. 2hrs
