Flight & travel information

Here at Le Ski we charter our own flights on Sundays. 
We also operate our own transfers direct from Chambery airport. Baggage is included in our holiday prices (see details below).

Why would anyone choose to travel to the French Alps on a Saturday? On Sundays the roads are much quieter and airports much calmer, leading to smoother journeys and more relaxed travellers. You also get to ski blissfully quiet pistes on Saturday while everyone else is in a traffic jam! We fly from Gatwick or Manchester to Chambery, the closest airport to the French Alps. Catering is buy-on-board for both flights. We fly with Jet2, who have an excellent reputation for customer service.
