Getting to Meribel and the Alps
As we are living in a different world this season from previous seasons many of us will be looking at different ways to get out to the Alps this Winter.
Flying is many peoples number one choice. There are many regional airports to choose from that fly into Geneva, Chambery, Lyon and Grenoble. These are the main airport choices for getting to Meribel. Have a look at the flights page for full details on which airlines fly from which airports.
It is still possible to travel by train by taking the Eurostar to Paris from London then the SNCF onto Moutiers. Why not stop overnight in Paris and make a night of it.
The ferry is a popular option as an alternative to flying. Pack your car in your driveway then head down to Dover or Portsmouth. Take a break while you cross the channel then it is a nice easy drive on the motorways to Meribel. Check out the ferry page for operators and options.
Many people decidw to drive out to the Three Valleys so that they do not need to queue in airports or travel by plane. This is a good choice as you can pack as much as you want and have the flexibility to extend your stay by stopping off on the way out and the way home. Check out the self drive page for full details.
