I think there is a bus service from Grenoble airport to Alpe d'hues, but we usually just hire a car if only going for the weekend. For cheap acomodation once there check out the Piere & Vacance website.

Basel
Grenoble-Lyon
Friedrichshafen
Milan
Salzburg
From experience, where would be best to aim for, where there are good and regular public transport links direct to ski areas with shortish travel times from the airports?
Looking at some time early of late feb, not during school holidays.
Thanks

What I have done this year instead of the norm Thursday to Sunday trip we have able to booked Sunday to Thursday so the plan is that the slopes will be quieter. Our plan is cheap flights which depart no later than 09.00 am a car at the airport then a travel time of no longer than two hours, From Turin you have La Thuile, Bergamo
Passo Tonale or Verona for the Dolomites, the choice is endless.
By The way one more day to go :thumbup:

Yes, the plan is to fly out either late on a Thursday evening and back on a Sunday night, or out on a Friday early morning, and get at leadt 2 full days skiing out of it, possibly 3, but limiting the amount of time I need off work as thats the key issue in terms of annual leave.
Hiring a car is a possibility, but it may only be me and Mrs H or me and a mate, so keeping costs to a minimum is also essential, hence the question re public transport, as I know trains and buses in Europe are supposed to be cheap. A car for a weekend is likely to be £100 or more.
And yes, short transfers are better to maximise skiing time. I have not donr a short break before, apart from a few days in BKK a few years back, but that was just an excuse to drink heavily and was before I fully appreciated my skiing.
Any suggestions for resorts with easy transfers from the airports mentioned would be gratefully received.
Wanderer - life is for living. There is too much bad stuff going on in the world and at home to to stop me taking time out to do the things I enjoy in life, in particular skiing. I am already missing it badly after a fantastic week in St Anton, and its another 2 months until I next go, so I was looking for something workable in between to break the monotony.
Thanks for your advice though.
