Thanks for pointing that out - I of course was talking about Lez Carroz.
We also did a stop off at Lez Clusaz on route to Chamonix but it is a long windy road to get there !

Hi
For perfect short weekend breaks my favorite has to be Sierra Nevada, Spain. Its a 100km area 15-20minutes from Granada airport on the Costa Del Sol. You can literally be sun bathing on the beach in the morning in the med and Skiing in the afternoon.
The people are fantastic - mostly Spanish, or English who now in fact live in spain. The Apres is excellent with discos and tapas bars in the resort.
The best thing though has to be the price, im going there on Saturday and my flights cost £20.00 with Taxes, My car hire was £29.00 for 4 days (economy car hire), and my accommodation which is 5 minutes out of town was £90.00 for two sharing. All in all a long weekend for £80.00 exc ski lift pass and spending money. (Car hire is recommended as the ski bus is hard to find in Granada that takes you up)
Just as a tip if your going on a short break i recommending hiring skis when your out there. Ryanair wanted £31.00 each way to take skis on the plane!! Im renting them for 30 Euros!!!
Other than that other good places are the obvious Mont Blanc resorts, or Slovenia (which I believe has a 15 minute transfer time)
Hope this helps!
