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 Rosiere
La Rosiere is generally regarded as a
family resort with many intermediate runs. It is linked by ski lifts
with La Thuile over the border in Italy. Whilst a relatively small
area it does have some excellent off piste which can remain untracked
for days after a snow fall, and a terrain park. The
town itself at 1850 metres has some amazing views south down the
valley towards Moutiers and east towards Val D'Isere and is actually
situated on the Col de Petit St. Bernard. If you are driving out
don't get fooled by your route finder though as this road is only
open in the summer!
