    Hi All,

    I'm going to ski in Tignes Val Claret from 8th till 16th of March but my mates can't make it this year I never liked going along and will be glad to have a good company ;-)

    There is a place in apartment to stay as well if you care.

    I live in Dublin and willing to meet anyone who is interested and discuss details

    Thanks

    Hi Marusia,

    Just wondering how your getting on? did you find someone to go with you.

    Have you checked the availability of flights, is it looking good?

    Hi Static,
    I was busy and haven't done much about looking so you are Mr First ;-)
    I've got my flights booked already but as far as I can see there are plenty and it shouldn't be a problem.
    The closest airport to Tignes is Chambery but nothing flies there from Dublin
    There are ryanair flights to Grenoble and airlingus to Lyon. From Grenoble you can take either train to Bourg St Maurice or bus. From Lyon it's better by bus but you need to book it (I have link)
    I'm going to Paris and taking TGV to Bourg St Maurice and then bus up to Tignes.
    There is another option and might be the cheapest as well :- fly to London and take eurostar straight to Bourg St Maurice It goes at night so at 6am you are there

    Hope it'll help
    Thanks

    Just back from Val Claret, see report in the sticky, flew to Geneva and got a bus down changing in Bourg St Maurice, 3-5 hours depending on traffic and good aul duty free in Geneva. Aer Lingus return flights were around 120euro. Bus was around 90euro return.

    Very icey, 1 day snow so far in February, they were expecting snow on Wednesday night, it got warmer instead. The snow making machines were used a couple of nights.

    Only 11 days till the 8th... What to do!!

    I realy like the idea of entering that competition, although it would actually kill me for sure.. Actually No, I really like the idea of someone else entering that competition and me watching from a very safe helicopter.

    Hello, I'm actually looking for a space to go to Tignes from around the 29th ~ 30th March until 4th or 5th April 2008.

    If Anyone got a spare place they want to fill to go to Tignes or Val D'Isere, I would be delighted to come with. I won't be needing transport, as I can come with train etc, but if it's something you can offer it's a Bonus.

    I'm a 20 year old student that desperately wants to go skiing, but there was no spaces left in the apartment of my friends!!

    Thanks a lot. :rolleyes:
