The Vale of Glamorgan can be lovely in winter but perhaps not as pretty as the French Alps, and Cardiff Airport is bringing them closer than ever, with new direct flights to Chambéry starting on 21st December 2024. Operated every Saturday by TUI Airways, these flights offer a convenient and exciting gateway to some of the world’s best ski destinations, just a short drive from The Vale.
The Perfect Winter Getaway
Chambéry, a historic gem in the French Alps, gives you access to renowned ski resorts such as Val d’Isère, La Plagne, Courcheve, and Méribel. Whether you’re an experienced skier or just looking for a snowy adventure, there’s something for everyone. And with flights running until 15th March 2025, you can enjoy a festive break or a late-season escape on the slopes.
Big Up The Vale! Beautiful and Convenient
We’re fortunate to live in such a stunning part of Wales, and now our local airport is making it easier to explore even further afield. There’s no need for a long drive to a distant airport; with Cardiff Airport so close to home, you can fly local and ski global. It’s the first time since winter 2019/2020 that ski flights have departed directly from Cardiff, and the return of this popular route is sure to excite travellers across The Vale.
