We have a couple of partners who do Transfers from Chambery Airport.

Try Airport Transfer Service or Transfer Intelligence.

HTH,

Glad someone's paying attention... we're just setting this up, right this minute...

Try now - you should be good to go (you may need to logout and login again to get the permission).

We'll be setting up the rest of the members later today.

Quite possibly. Flaine will have the best of the snow and has good skiing for all levels - most of it in a huge bowl with the runs leading back to town. The restaurant at the very top is accessed by gondola so your early skiers and young uns can easily ride up for lunch and feel like they're part of the action - there are a couple of easy greens right at the top too, and one of the best views in Europe!

The runs down are generally a mix of Blues and mild Reds, but there are a couple of serious Blacks and several great freeride areas.

So it caters well for mixed groups who can go their own way but still meet up regularly.

Only downside is that some of the architecture is pig-ugly, but the skiing more than makes up for that. The majority of the accommodation is within a short walk of the pistes - the exception being the recent hamlet of chalets accessible by regular bus.

End of January should be relatively quiet and, fingers crossed, should give you plenty of snow.

Beat me to it by about 5 seconds... topic locked.

Thanks for the comments on the maps guys, I've now opened a thread here for you to give some Feedback on the Ski Resort Maps.

ise - we'll be adding some more resorts to the maps over the next week or so but I'm keen to include as many of the smaller stations as we can, so please let me know if we miss one of your local spots.

TBH, I haven't had the heart to remove Abondance yet... I skiied there almost 20 years ago now and there was, indeed, an abundance of snow on that occasion... :cry:

Maybe we should add little tombstones for the resorts that fall victim to global warming and economic factors? :(

The stats never lie... :wink: ...but over the Summer our traffic runs at around 10-15% of our peak winter months (December through March).

Since the August Bank Holiday in the UK (last Monday) we've seen, as with previous years, a sharp upturn in traffic and that'll continue now.

To put the forum in perspective - most of our traffic at the moment is researching ski resorts and checking holiday prices; the forum accounts for around 10% of our page views - and the readers outnumber writers by a very large factor.

Hi Gareth,

Our newly extended Map of Ski Resorts near Geneva shows the locations of around 100 different resorts within 2 hours drive...

Unless the snow fails you should have plenty of choice for that week and should be just before the half term peak weeks.

What level of ability are your group and are you looking to party or to ski?
