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 Menuires
Les Menuires, along with Val Thorens
and St. Martin, make up the westerly of the Three Valley's - Vallee
de Belleville. Probably the worst of the many ugly looking resorts
in the area, it nonetheless has a full compliment of bars, restaurants,
clubs and many high rise appartment blocks. As with all resorts
in the Three Valleys, the terrain for skiing and snowboarding is
hugely varied. The area immediately around Les menuires is also
extensively covered with snow canons so that even in poor seasons,
there is usually no problem with skiing right into the town.
Lyon to Les Menuires Transfer - 230kms -
approx. 2hrs 30
