Although situated in a valley, take the Olympic 3 stage, 20
minute cable car to Meribel and the vast Trois Vallees ski region. So you can have
the best of both worlds, staying in a genuine village whilst enjoying access to
some of the best skiing in Europe. Brides-les-Bains is only four miles from Moutiers,
the usual rail entrance to Les Trois Vallees and the main access road to other alpine
ski areas. This means a lot less travel time for those who want to drive to other
resorts covered by the massive Savoie Olympic Pass, with roughly 1,000 miles of
pistes (runs) and accesses 600 lifts.
Brides-les-Bains in summer:
Brides-les-Bains offers a great mixture of stunning mountain
scenery with all the amenities of a well-established resort town. There are many
marked walking trails, and the cable car will whisk you into the mountains without
all the effort of climbing. Once there, enjoy the meadows and trails, then take
advantage of the many bars and restaurants in the town to rejuvenate yourself in
preparation for another day's activity - climbing, mountain biking, paragliding
etc.
Access: Brides is very easy to reach,
whether by car or rail. It's only 6km (4 miles) from Moutiers which can be reached
by high speed TGV train from Paris (630km/394 miles) in the winter and by dual-carriageway
from Albertville (30km/18 miles), which is linked to the motorway network by the
A43. It is about 8.5 hours driving time from Calais, not counting stops.
The nearest international airport is Geneva (125km/78 miles) with flights from the
UK also serving airports at Chambery (80km/50 miles) and Lyon St Exupery (170km/94
miles).
