Tomski - How many of you are going and is Grenoble a must or might you consider Geneva? Either way, I think you're going to pay for it, but it appears that the Geneva connections are more plentiful at least...

A cheaper option may be to take the train from Grenoble and a minibus or taxi from Moutiers?

For example, using raileurope.com, a single standard return fare as far as Moutiers costs £33, for a journey outwards on 3rd Jan and back on 10th Jan 2009.

I think its dear enough from Geneva ..£60 each to Samoens ...1,5 hours drive...

Its cheaper and just as quick to drive especially if there are 2+ of you or even hire a vehicle at the airport
