Getting there & Transfers:
Les Carroz is the most accessible ski resort in the Alps.
BY CAR. It is the nearest to UK by car. Being in Haute Savoie, it avoids the motorway bottlenecks en route to the Savoie and Haute-Alpes ski regions. Of the Haute Savoie resorts, Les Carroz is the nearest resort to Geneva. From Calais, it is 8hrs by car, with all except the last 10 km via motorway. The spectacular ascent to the resort is by a good mountain road, ploughed to a very high standard during snowstorms. Chains may be required for the last part of the ascent (2/3 km) and there are several safe lay-bys designated for attaching the chains.
BY AIR. BA, Easy Jet and Swiss fly to Geneva airport. Be sure to exit on the Swiss side and book your cars / transport on this side. The Chalet is exactly 72 km door-to-door from Geneva airport, the journey takes less than an hour.
