Although it is worth noting that we are short of glaciers - I blame global warming, personally.

Agreed. In Kent. We have hills you know.

Hi Mike, you should be ok now.

I think Pavel is offline for a few days - as soon as he's back in action we'll have everyone set-up; but there'll be little to see here until he's with us again.

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.
