However, in Austria where we now ski it's necessary to get to the gondola and we prefer driving to it, than the ski bus. preference that's all. Another post said about skiing in different areas. A great bonus to have a car, but when you've kids in ski school then it's not so possible to do that.

Interesting that the N roads in France are empty. What are they like ie. size / speed etc.

A bit like A roads here without the traffic but they are slower than the auto-routes obviously ..as to the convenience of a car..I was stopping about 3 minutes drive from the Morrillon lift and about 15 minutes from Les Gets and 15 from Pra De Lys and 20 from Morzine....we weren't bored

enjoy yourselves ..(jealousy emanating off the screen) but remember its €50 in tolls from Paris to Geneva on the auto route ..The N roads are all but empty too ..

Having driven for a skiing holiday for the first time this year I found the experience much better than flying ...especially being in the ski area and having the ability to ski different resorts when I want to and the travel experience was much better than being cattle in an airport

cant find the Saloman ski chart you are quoting?
