GETTING THERE

Skiroc, Buet, near Vallorcine, Chamonix, 74660, France

Driving

Driving from the UK is usually the cheapest way to get to the Alps.  Budget around £400 return via the Eurotunnel. It takes about 9 hours from Dover.

 

Leave on Friday night to avoid the traffic and stay in Troyes if you can! We like the Arlequin Hotel. 

​

If you are a single parent family, and you would like to share the drive, get in touch. We'll try to find you some fellow travellers! 

Train

We thoroughly recommend the train!! Train is the most Eco way to travel. One of the reasons we chose this Outdoor Centre, is because you can get from London to it's doorstep by train!

​

Go to Loco2.com  and book an alert for tickets to Buet, France. You will need to change stations in Paris, and you will change the train at St Gervais Le Fayet.  We will come down to collect you and your bags from the station.

​

Send me an email if you would like to team up with others travelling by train and I will put you in touch.

​

Plane

Easyjet, Swiss Air and BA fly to Geneva. 

 

If you are hiring a car, just make sure that you hire it from the SWISS side not the french side as it will make your drive much easier.

​

You can also get the train from the Airport to St Gervais Le Fayet or Martingny in Switzerland where there are local hourly trains to Buet. 

​

If you would like to book an airport transfer, budget €28pp per trip. We recommend ChamExpress who will take you right to 'Skiroc, Buet' which is just past Argentiere and before Vallorcine.
