Christmas and New Year flights!
We are pleased to offer WEDNESDAY flights at the beginning of the season from the 14th December through to the
11th January followed by a 4 night short-break from the 11th to the 15th January after which we shall revert back to SUNDAYS for
the rest of the season. Wednesday flying is thus 14th December, 21st December, 28th December, 04th January and 11th January.
Great news!
For 2011/12 we have once again secured Sunday flights to Grenoble and at very civilised times!
Continuing from our previous seasons’ success, we are delighted to be able to once again offer Sunday flights
from Gatwick and Birmingham to Grenoble and transfers to Vaujany once in France
(prior to 15th January on Wednesdays, see above).
Once again we have secured a Southampton/Grenoble charter for high-season dates.
Best of all
The slopes are deserted on Saturdays, giving you an amazing last day’s skiing. With our late morning departure times on Sundays from both Gatwick and Southampton your journey should be relatively relaxed and Grenoble airport much quieter than earlier in the day. Here you will be met by a Ski Peak Rep and board our transfers to Vaujany by coach reserved exclusively for Ski Peak guests. Estimated journey time is 90 minutes, dependent on conditions.
