Lyon-Saint Exupéry Airport, located in the Rhône-Alpes region, is an alternative gateway to the French Alps, and often a much less stressful one to travel through and to/from than the usual Brit’s route via Geneva or Chambery,
This winter Lyon has further improved its connections to ski resorts for new arrivals meaning it has never been better connected, giving passengers the option to travel to the slopes by train, bus, taxi or car.
The airport provides dedicated snow sports services, such as an oversized baggage option for skis and snowboards at check-in, improving efficiency and giving travellers more time to enjoy the bars, restaurants and duty-free shops that the airport has to offer.
To highlight its attractiveness to British skiers, Lyon Saint Exupéry Airport has launched a snow-inspired competition via its Facebook app.
In the competition internet users are invited to get creative, sharing a photo or video to meet a different challenge every month.
The participant with the highest number of votes in each monthly contest will win an all-inclusive weekend away for two at the famous resort of Val Thorens in the 3 Valleys.
Over 30 airlines currently operate flights to Lyon-Saint Exupéry. UK airports offering flights this ski season include London Heathrow, London Gatwick, London Stansted, Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol and Edinburgh.
