There are well organised bus services that go from Geneva, Chambery, Lyon or Grenoble airports directly to Bourg St Maurice. These coaches are easy to find in the airport and can be booked online in advance. They are a good option for those travelling in small groups. We will pick you up from Bourg St Maurice and transfer you to Sainte Foy (approximately 25 minutes drive).
Please note that if you intend to transfer by coach, you should check the departure and arrival times of the coaches carefully before you book your flights. You should arrive at your departure airport at least 2 hours before your flight departs.

Taxi (recommended for 3 or more people).
We can help arrange a taxi to transfer you from the airport to the resort. This is the most luxurious transfer option and allows you to arrive in resort early on your day of arrival, or depart late on your day of departure. We can store your bags in the chalet if you arrive early and on the last day before you depart so that you can get some extra skiing in.
To book a taxi please contact us with the following details:
Number of people,
Arrival Airport,
Time of arrival,
Flight number,
Your name,
Your mobile contact number
We will contact a local taxi firm to make a reservation and then advise you how to confirm, and make payment.
For your return trip you need only provide you return flight time in addition.
We recommend booking your taxi as soon as possible.
Private Coach (recommended for 16+ people)
For larger groups we can organise a coach transfer. The coach transfer costs approximately £500 each way and is a cost effective choice for large groups (of up to 24 people). We would be happy to assist you with arranging this.
Organised taxi or coach sharing (recommended for 1-5 people)
If you are travelling on your own or with a smaller group and would prefer to share a taxi, please let us know and we can try to match you up with others. It would be best to get in touch before you book your flights so that we can let you know if there are any other guests who want to share a transfer.
If you have already booked your flights, please let us know your flight times, your arrival airport and we will try to organise a taxi shared with our other guests.
In the event that there are no others to share the taxi it will be possible to book the coach transfer nearer the time or to rent a car.
Rent a car (recommended for 2 - 9 people - or two cars for larger groups)
It's easy to rent a car from the airport in advance. It is straightforward to pick up the car at the airport and we provide easy to follow directions to the resort. The drive from Geneva airport typically takes 2 hours and 45 minutes. This option also gives extra flexibility to drive to other resorts during the week and to to stop off for lunch in the delightful town of Annecy on the way to or from the resort. A medium family car seating 4/5 adults costs around £316 plus fuel. A people carrier for 5-7 people costs around £399 plus fuel. There are options to rent 9 seater minibuses from most airports too.
Please note that it is often cheaper to rent a car from the French side of Geneva airport. It is also slightly more complicated because of route finding to and from the airport and the fact that French cars do not have Swiss motorway stickers.
It is worth comparing prices as rates do vary. Here is a list of a few rental agents. Our preferred supplier is rhinocarhire. We have found them to offer excellent value and service.
