Train from airport to resort

Ok here goes,

I am planning on a ski trip in Jan 10 however as I have no mates (at least non that ski or have the funds) I am contemplating going solo. To avoid horrendous cost of single person car hire any suggestions on resorts that are easily reached from airport train stations, if you could also outline the airport and nearest train station to the resort this would be cool.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can spare the time to help.

Cheers

Zermatt from Geneva...can i ask why train ...surely you just want the cheapest transfer price..its £60+ for the above but the transfer from Salzburg to Obertuern is about £40

Really, all of Switzerland is linked by train and Postbus. I travel by plane/rail/Postbus and it works well. The train stations are in the airport.
The most I have to walk (outdoors) is 5 mins from the bus stop in the resort.

For France,fly in to Geneva and catch a bus to most of the Tarentaise with ease. Also good bus services from Grenoble, serving the Southern Alps.

If you like your skiing with company, you might consider going on a chalet holiday. :D

It is the same for most of Tirol and Salzburgerland. From Munich airport, you can take the train through the Inn valley, this gives you the Wildschoenau, Alpbachtal, Zillertal,, the whole of the Innsbruck area. This assumes that you have not changed at Worgl, and headed off to Hopfgarten, (to get into the schiwelt), Kitzbuhle, Zell-am-zee.

You can post bus to many other places, and the odd taxi is not prohibitive.

Not Fred drifting, but Bandit-brain picking.... Two issues.

1. Getting a party of six from Chambery to La Tania, and return a week later, looks like a cost of around £400 for a private minibus. Any thoughts on a possible lower cost method?

2. I want to go from La Tania to Niederau, so Innsbruck, or more hopefully Worgl. So, I am looking at a 7 to 8 hour train journey, from Geneva, but first have to get to Geneva Hauptbahnhof.

Or, does anyone have any knowledge of Euro flights from Geneva/Chambery to Innsbruck?

Any contributors, that give a result, will be heavily rewarded with Zipfer beer on the 18th January, in the Bichlwirt.

Thanks for the responses that gives me plenty to go on.

Daved you are right re cheapest transfer don't care if train, bus or taxi. The £40 transfer from Salzburg you mention is that bus ot taxi?

Bandit, I most likely will go down the chalet route as I am not overly keen on skiing anything too exciting by myself.

Thanks again

davidsa2 - I know that some resorts (within reach of Innsbruck I think) were looking into providing a free transfer (by minibus I assume) service this coming winter; deals likely to be announced/advertised over the next month or so... so keep an eye out 8)
