TRANSFERS

Flights and transfers to the Alps…

Most people find travelling by air the most convenient method of getting to and from the Alps. Upon agreement one of our minibuses will meet you arrival at our local airport, Geneva. Also upon agreement, we can provide safe and secure bike transport on our fully fitted mountain bike trailer. The trip from Geneva to La Rosiere is approximately 2 and a half hours.

  • Baggage Allowance with most carriers is 20kgs per person with 10kg for hand luggage, Ryanair only allow 15kg and 5kg hand luggage. Some carriers like Ryanair and Easyjet charge for luggage in the hold. Watch out as they are now thinking about charging for check in services and toilet use on the plane!
  • Airports are very busy places, please check in at least three hours before your flight.
  • DON’T FORGET YOUR VALID PASSPORT! (If you are not a UK passport holder please check your visa status).

Get the train…

Rail travel is a great way of travelling and it can be a time efficient and hassle free journey, particularly if it’s easy for you to get to the new St Pancras station, London or Ashford in Kent. It’s a comfortable and relaxing way to get to the Alps without the stress of the airports. You will be required to change in Paris for Bourg St. Maurice, only 30 minutes from the chalets! We will greet you at the station upon agreement.

Drive to the Alps…

Should you prefer to drive to the Alps, the cost of a car with four passengers averages about £80 per head for a round trip to the Tarentaise Valley if you live within 200 miles of Dover. The journey should take you no longer than ten hours from Calais. There are a number of different ways to cross the channel which includes the Channel Tunnel which takes approximately 35 minutes, a speed ferry (which can be the most cost effective) which gets you across in 50 minutes or a standard car ferry which normally takes around 90 minutes. Aim for a ferry departure from UK at around 0800 hrs. You should then arrive at the chalet after 1600hrs. The route is easily navigated and follows autoroutes for 95% of the journey via Reims, Troyes, Dijon, Lyon, Chambery, Albertville and Bourg St.Maurice.
