Being a tight Yorkshireman and has anyone been on this
http://www.snowexpress.co.uk/timetable.php looks a good deal and not much slower than the plane when you take into account the time spent waiting at airports and the transfers..and it might be more comfy than the plane |

at least I know were you are going now ..the maps call it
"Reschenpass" ...took some searching lol |
|
|
done both routes and the times are as Tony says ..Have a good time I'm jealous
|

|
I would go ..Lille > Luxembourg (fill up there its the cheapest in Europe)>Strasbourg > Stuttgart> Munich >Innsbruck to Brenner pass..the route you mentioned you would use the Arlberg tunnel and is longer and more expensive
ps Going through Switzerland is longer to Innsbruck and would cost the Swiss road tax £40 |

Val Thoren wasn't that busy the last week in March this year and is a s described above...but how about Samoens on the Grand Massif ...nice little village and a free local bus (5mins) round to the lift station
|
|
Totally agree ..stopped in Samoens in Jan and had wonderful skiing but got charged €3 for a packet of crisps in Flaine so we took packed lunches...I would go again as the skiing is wonderful |
