Getting here

By Air

Chamonix is only an hour from Geneva Airport, making transfers a doddle. Geneva is a major network hub of the region and is served by all international carriers across Europe and the world.

From the UK the most popular airlines are Easyjet, British Airways and Swiss with direct flights from all over the UK. If you take in the smaller airlines and consider indirect routes or chartered flights you can fly from an amazing 25 different airports in the UK. Check Cheapflights.co.uk for the latest prices.

On arrival either hire a car from the airport or we can arrange a transfer to meet you at the airport and bring you straight to us.

By Rail

Relive the romantic railway age by arriving in the Alps on an overnight sleeper. Chamonix has its own railway station, making train travel an easy alternative.

TGV services extend to nearby St.Gervais, from where it's a short hop on a regional service up to Chamonix. Visit www.sncf.com for more information.

From the UK check the Rail Europe web site for the Snow Train details.

By Car

Chamonix is between eight to 10 hours drive from most Channel ports. The motorway comes right up to the town itself, with a breathtaking last 20 to 30kms. Do it in one go or break your trip by stopping in Paris, Reims (for Champagne) or Beaune (for Burgundy).

Having a car is undoubtedly a bonus while you're here, giving you the flexibility to ski different areas and even visit different resorts. Remember driving in the Alps is different from crawling along the M25 in rush hour.

Remember to make sure you've got snow chains and/or snow tyres.
