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.
Les Arcs
Les Arcs is the Cool Bus local resort
so expect nothing but a completely biased review here! The resort
is fantastic with tons of terrain, particularly now that it is linked
with La Plagne via the largest ski lift in the world. There is some
incredible off-piste with the only downside being that it does get
tracked out very quickly. The snowboard park is extremely well shaped
and maintained. Sadly no halfpipe though. There are excellent tree
runs around 1600 and vallandry. It also has the longest ski run
in the Alps from the top of the Rouge all the way down to Villaroger.
If you want nightlife go to 1800. If you want nice chalets go to
Vallandry. If you want to be closest to the best terrain go to 1950
or 2000. That is it in a nutshell!
