New Blue Islands Ski Flights to Grenoble
Jersey skiers will be able to fly direct to the French Alps this winter thanks to an expanding partnership between Blue Islands and Channel Islands tour operator Allez Ski.
The airline will operate weekly flights direct from Jersey to Grenoble in France, departing every Saturday from 21 December 2024 until 15 February 2025.
Rob Veron, CEO Blue Islands said, “We have been proudly partnering with Allez Ski to provide its charter flights from Jersey and Guernsey to the slopes since 2018. Whether it’s Christmas, New Year, February half-term, or prime skiing in January or early February, we’re excited to increase to a nine-week season of direct flights to Grenoble this winter, and offer a flight-only option.”
Just two hours from Jersey, Grenoble is the gateway to the French Alps including the resorts of Val d’Isere, Tignes, La Plagne, Les Arcs, Courchevel, Méribel, Les Menuires, Val Thorens, Avoriaz and Morzine. The closest resorts are Chamrousse, Les 7 Laux and Alpe d’Huez.
“Blue Islands has operated many ad-hoc ski charter flights to Grenoble but the airport is especially looking forward to welcoming Jersey skiers on a weekly service from this coming winter season", says Pierre Marnotte, Grenoble Airport's director. “This means more islanders than ever will now be able to benefit from direct flights to our 'gateway to the Alps'.”
Rob added, “Depart Jersey and arrive in the Alps two hours later and enjoy easy access to some of the world’s best ski resorts.”
