^^£72.50 is the cheapest cost for the transfer...but definitely not fly/ski on the same day unless you left the UK at midnight...the only place I have been able to do this (so far) is Obertuern,, 6am flight 12.30pm ski...and remember you have an hours time difference in the winter wherever you go

try this place for Swiss rail passes

I am 6'3" and weigh 106kilos and am technically obese ..but I go to the gym every day and have no trouble skiing reds and blacks @ 40k per day.. mind you the extra weight helps me go faster :roll: .,and I am over 60

slightly dead.hmmmmmmmmmm!

this joke that came in my post this morning aptly illustrates why I don't want to fly ryanair

Then the €6 for a coffee in Courcheval(at the side of the slope) was good value...I really think the €3.2 for a pack of crisps in Flaine was a bit of a liberty..Zermatt before Xmas was much better value

I have them and they transformed my skiing experience...can't recommend them enough

I agree with Wickers ...I am seriously thinking of driving to France this year.. for one up the cost is slightly more but it can save tame you have flexibility and you are not treated like some sheep on the way to slaughter...
