Have looked at a few options to get 11 people from Geneva to Arc2000 for Feb
1/2 term week but seem to come back to hiring cars! Seems silly when they
will just be left in the underground garage all week. Any other good
suggestions? How does the train work out, and how do you then get up to
arc2000 from BSM with luggage?

Cheers,

Hi John,

Yeah, getting between airports and the tarentaise is never fun. Hiring
cars may well be the cheapest and you could always use them to visit
some other resorts in the area, although I'm sure I'd just stay in
Arc.

There was rumour of a direct train service from Geneva to BSM last
season. I never found out enough details to be sure and certainly
friends of mine always ended up changing once or twice (usually at Aix
Les Bains and then in Geneva to get to the airport). Perfectly
pleasant, but it does take 4 to 6 hours and I imagine half term week
will be busy. BSM station will be heaving for sure. Then you can take
the funicular, but I admit I don't know how you get from the top
station to Arc 2000. One of the other guys on this group will know
though. If the bags will be a problem, you could always try and get a
taxi to take the bags for you, or drive all of you up? I'm not sure
what prices would be but, for example, BSM to Tignes is about 100
Euros.

Cheers,

Matt
