Does anyone know the best/cheapest way to get from Lyon airport to Valmeinier? I've looked around and there doesn't seem to be a direct bus link unless I am mistaken. I've heard its quite easy to get the train to Saint Michel from Lyon and then get a bus up the hill, has anyone got any experience in doing this?

I haven't booked a flight yet so any suggestions on which airport is the most convenient would be very much appreciated.

How many of you going?
I'm looking at Lyon to Serre Che, similar distance me thinks although opposite sides of Grenoble.
Car hire is about £300 for a week.

Just myself, I may be going out just for a few days to meet some friends in Valmeinier. Lyon has the cheapest flights in and out but the website and the trans-alpes website isn't very clear on what bus transfers there are and what time they run. The train may be the best option.

It is a nice enough resort I think I was there in January 2001, a self drive trip so can't really give ou too much info on buses and trains but I am sure there will be a connection , I'll search around and see what I can find 8)
