Chambery Airport
Known as the gateway to the French Alps, Chambery Airport is one of many regional airports in France. Located in the town of Le Viviers du Lac, the airport is within easy driving distance of world class ski resorts such as Chamonix, Albertville and Grenoble.
The airport serves primarily charter and low-cost airlines. Last year, six airlines serviced Chambery Airport, namely Air Southwest, Astraeus Airlines, Flybe, Jet2.com, Snowjet and Sterling. Major UK destinations served include Birmingham, Bristol, Edinburgh, Exeter, Leeds-Bradford, London Gatwick, Manchester, Newcastle, Norwich, Plymouth and Southampton. The peak season is December to January, when many visitors flock to the nearby ski resorts.
The airport has one single terminal and offers limited amenities to travellers with just one bar and restaurant on the upper level. There is an ATM machine at the terminal entrance and an information counter that is open between 08:00 and 20:00. There is one small shop in the terminal selling primarily souvenirs, and a duty free shop past immigration. The airport also offers 300 parking spaces.
Chambery Airport is located about three miles from Le Viviers du Lac and is just off the A41 motorway. The nearest train station to the airport is located in Chambery, and a taxi ride there takes about 10 minutes. There are also buses that depart from the airport to numerous ski resorts, but tickets should be purchased in advance, especially during the winter season>.
