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!

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.

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.

Yes, three times a week during the season: Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday.
Prices seem reasonable when I checked their website. Anyone know what
car hire outlets are at Chambery?

Look like it, but they do sting you for the privilage of carrying skis -
£15 each way by the looks of it. 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!

Not much help to me from Leeds though! Anyone else fly to Chambery from the
UK???

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.

Cheers Pete,

Having done Stansted to Turin and back for ski weekends and driving back
home at past midnight Stansted is about far south as I'll go!
