St. Etienne Airport
Can anyone tell me how close this is to Tignes?
http://www.ryanair.com/ fly there and are doing a sale at the moment. They say it's very close, the only one I could find using Mapoint was over 3 hours drive away, in fact Geneva looked closer! thanks! Greg |

That's the one I'm afraid, a fair drive from St Etienne, some 300 kms. Geneva is closer, but less motorway. Lyon is at 220 km (150 km of motorway). As far as I know, Ryanair discontinued the Grenoble and Chambéry destinations after the Buzz takeover. Pete |

Having done coach tranfers from St Etinenne I can confirm you it will have
AT LEAST 3 hours - even more if the roads to the ski resorts are stuffed. Take a paperback with you. Rob "PG" wrote in message ... "Greg Hilton" wrote in message ...

Prices seem reasonable when I checked their website. Anyone know what car hire outlets are at Chambery? Regards Rob -- Posted via Mailgate.ORG Server - http://www.Mailgate.ORG |

It would be worth it for a flight into Chambery though, that's got to knock a couple of hours of the normal journey from Geneva or Lyon to the Tarentaise. A weekend trip to Val d'isere might be on the cards afterall! |

Did a bit of research on this a while back, whatever you do from up north would involve transferring flights somewhere. There was one new operator from Leeds Bradford, name escapes me, with cheapo flights to France (other than Paris) direct, but nowhere near the Alps. Pete |
