Here is my humble opinion!!
Steve, i have been looking at this myself and I figure the best thing to do is good old Eurostar. My thinkin is, I can catch the eurostar to Bourg St Maurice and catch the funicular up and it will cost me about £180. It will also mean I can leave friday night, sleep on the train and be on the slopes for the whole of the saturday. Total trip time is about 8 hours plus a half hour wait at the train station(kinda check in time) The alternative, of course, is to fly to Geneva. This requires an hour of check in time, costs about £100 and needs all the wasted time of baggage collection etc at the other end. I can then catch the train or Satobus(www.satobus.com) to Bourg and then try ski. The problem with this though, is that the satobus can cost anything up to £0, though the train or some alternative will be about £55 ish. That brings my total cost about £155 - £180(much the same) The difference is flying and bussing requires me to be awake, there are no late night flights that can still catch the bus transfer. I reckon, the extra few pounds for the Eurostar are worth it for the extra days skiing. I am lucky though, I live in London, so I can even catch the Eurostart after work ski for say 3 days and catch the overnight Eurostar back and get back to work on time!!!! Anyhow, if you have any luck getting any more details, please let us know!

Except that the Eurostar to BSM only runs on Fri/Sat, and the guy wants to
go for 4 days. Outside weekends you can only do it with two train changes and one station change in Paris (E* to Paris Nord, TGV Paris Lyon to Chambery, local train to Bourg St.M.), total travel time 8-9 hours minimum "Alan van Wyk" wrote in message m...
