By air
Chamonix is only an hour’s car journey from Geneva Airport making transfers a doddle. Geneva is a major network hub and is served by most of the 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. You can fly from a staggering 25 different airports in the UK if you include the smaller airlines, indirect routes and chartered flights. Check cheapflights.co.uk for the latest prices.
On arrival we can arrange to meet you at the airport and whisk you back to Chamonix in one of our limousines or you can hire a car or take a taxi. Our catered holiday packages in the winter include the Geneva Airport transfer unless otherwise stated.
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 is 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. If you don’t fancy driving the full distance in a day, break your trip with a stop in Paris, Reims (for Champagne) or Beaune (for Burgundy).
Having a car is undoubtedly a bonus while you're here, giving you greater 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.
