Hi everyone, <br /> I've just been offered a weeks free accomodation in Bourg-St-Maurice, trouble is, getting there!! On a budget. <br /> The airport of choice seems to be Lyon, due to flights being cheaper than going to Geneva or Chambery. The problem is the cost of getting from the airport to BSM. The cheapest option would appear to be hiring a car for a week @ over GBP250 with snow chains! This, unbelievably, is cheaper than a one day hire to BSM followed by another one day hire to get me back to the airport. <br /> Does anyone have any advice as I don't really want to hire a car for a week to cover two journeys of 2½hrs each. <br /> In anticipation & with thanks, <br /> <br /> <font color='red'><b>Slime.</b></font> https://www.j2ski.com/ski-chat-forum/posts/preList/9925/87889.page https://www.j2ski.com/ski-chat-forum/posts/preList/9925/87889.page Sat, 5 Feb 2011 16:30:00 GMT Why don't you get the Eurostar from London? Or are you starting from somewhere other than England? <br /> <br /> Ally https://www.j2ski.com/ski-chat-forum/posts/preList/9925/87891.page https://www.j2ski.com/ski-chat-forum/posts/preList/9925/87891.page Sat, 5 Feb 2011 16:33:20 GMT Hi AllyG, <br /> thanks for the quick response. <br /> The Ski Train runs overnight on Fridays & also on Saturday mornings. <br /> I'm aiming to leave early Thursday morning. <br /> Any other thoughts, <br /> <br /> <b><font color='red'>Slime.</font></b> <br /> <br /> P.S. There are two of us travelling. https://www.j2ski.com/ski-chat-forum/posts/preList/9925/87901.page https://www.j2ski.com/ski-chat-forum/posts/preList/9925/87901.page Sat, 5 Feb 2011 17:02:49 GMT You can get to Bourg St Maurice from London other than on a Friday or Saturday, but not direct. You have to change in Paris, and either get the night sleeper train to Bourg, or get a day train and change again (in Chambery Challes I believe). <br /> <br /> Maybe you could try phoning RailEurope.co.uk and ask about it? We've changed in Paris several times but not yet taken the sleeper from Paris to Bourg. <br /> <br /> Ally https://www.j2ski.com/ski-chat-forum/posts/preList/9925/87910.page https://www.j2ski.com/ski-chat-forum/posts/preList/9925/87910.page Sat, 5 Feb 2011 17:33:57 GMT Trains from Lyon to Bourg St Maurice change at Chambery. <br /> Takes 3-4 hours costs GBP23 - GBP30 single. <br /> Got this from an internet search coz the Rugby is boring !! https://www.j2ski.com/ski-chat-forum/posts/preList/9925/87912.page https://www.j2ski.com/ski-chat-forum/posts/preList/9925/87912.page Sat, 5 Feb 2011 17:49:46 GMT
