Getting to Val d'Isere is EASY... You have three ways... By air, by rail or by road. Each has its own merits as discussed below.

Flying

This represents the easiest, quickest and most flexible option. Val d'Isere is about 2.45hours away from Geneva International Airport by car. The roads to and from Val d'Isere and the airport are the livelihood of the resort therefore are kept clear and moving except under the very worst of traffic / weather conditions. In comparison by transfer coach the journey is often 4+ hours.

Geneva International Airport (GVA) offers flights from all over the UK (and elsewhere of course). Over 18 destinations up and down the UK connect to Geneva, Belfast to Bristol, London to Liverpool, and whether you chose Easyjet, BMI or British Airways there are many airlines to choose from. Please click here to see more information on flights.

Geneva may not be the only airport you can chose from, Grenoble, Chambery and Lyon all offer alternatives. Many flight options on multiple routes and with multiple airlines connect to these airports and it is worth noting that transfering by car (as you would do so with Fresh Chalets) means there is not much difference in transfer time from these other airports, just, and it is a big 'just,' there are fewer flight options. For this reason Geneva is our chosen hub. Please contact us should you wish / need to fly to another regional airport as mentioned above and we shall attempt to tailor your plans with our schedule!

Eurostar

The Eurostar is a great option. Take the Eurostar services from London St Pancras or Ashford International in Kent DIRECT to Bourg St Maurice

nestled at the foot of the

mountain road up to Val d'Isere.

Travel time from the UK can be

as little as 7 hours.

The main advantage if you take the

overnight service Ski Train is that you get

extra time on the slopes. Alternative options include the

services via Paris.

If you decide to travel this way let us know and we'll come pick you up from Bourg St Maurice! Depending on traffic it can take from 30 mins to drive the 20 miles up to Val d'Isere.

Driving

Driving is a great option especially for families. It is approximately 560 miles from Calais to Val d'Isere. Fast roads, light traffic, breathtaking

scenery; driving in France is a joy.

From Calais towards Reims,

Dijon, Lyon and finally towards

the mountains the route can be

done in one go or stop overnight

at a motorway motel en-route.

Expect to pay about €70 in tolls each way BUT there are no worries of flight delays, excess baggage fees PLUS you can stock up on supplies from home or en-route and then duty free shop on your way home again!

We have an underground parking slot available for you to use free of charge here in Val d'Isere if you decide to drive.
