Ski Self-Drive with Erna Low
Driving to the Alps is something everyone should try at least once, with Alpine roads including some of the most beautiful scenery you're likely to see. There are many benefits to driving in the Alps and having a car whilst in resort can be even more advantageous.
|
 COMFORT AND FREEDOM OF YOUR OWN CAR |
If you want to avoid the winter queues in and out of the airports, then take to the road. You'll gain the flexibility to travel with as many pairs of skis and as much luggage as you want - something you won't be able to do on the low-cost airlines. You can also enjoy the benefits of visiting other resorts with ease should you wish to.
There are also plenty of places for non skiers to explore within easy driving distance of most resorts – visit the beautiful glacial lake and medieval town at Annecy or how about seeing the Mer de Glace in Chamonix which is accessed by a charming traditional cog railway.

 LEAVE THE THREAT OF ASH AT THE AIRPORT |
After this spring's volcanic ash incident, delays and cancellations due to snow and ice, and increases in fuel surcharges and departure tax, more and more people are re-thinking their travel options, with good reason. No one wants to lose out on their ski holiday, or get stuck waiting for planes to take off, if they can help it. Smart travellers are taking to the road and enjoying its many advantages.

 ENJOY THE DRIVE AND SAVE MONEY |
We believe that a self-drive wintersports holiday is the most cost effective way of travelling to the Alps. As a family you can fill the car with (nearly) everything that the children wish to take including games and dvds to keep them entertained on the way. You can also shop in the cheaper hyper-markets down in the valley so you avoid paying a premium for the local shops.

 GET AN EXTRA DAY'S SKIING IN |
| Why get up at 5am to catch a transfer bus to drive around the resort for two hours and then sit on the autoroute on change-over day, only to arrive at the airport and face further delays? Instead, why don't you check out on the last day, dumping your stuff in the car and get an extra day's skiing in while the slopes are nice and quiet! |
