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.
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.
Lyon to Val Thorens Transfer - 235kms -
