Les Trois Vallées - best way to get there from Geneva or Lyon
I am planning a trip from Seattle, WA and it looks like air connections are
the most convenient and affordable to Geneva or Lyon. Can anyone offer suggestions about the best way to get to any of the Les Trois Vallées villages from any of these airports? There will be 6 of us so renting a passenger car is not an option (plus we might most likely won't need the car while in the area). Local plane, train, bus, or even taxi seem like good options. Convenience is the goal without going completely broke :-)) Thank much. |

For taxis - I've not used these guys but they (somewhat cheekily) posted to this ng so I book marked it for future ref - http://www.lyontaxiprestige.com/accueilgb.html There is an air strip in Courhevel but one gets the impression it's mainly for the rich and famous - but I could be wrong. Besides, flying into the mountains would scare the cr*p out of me on a good weather day and be prone to delays in bad weather. I've only ever seen Cesna type plane land here so possibly too small for 6. There is a train station at Moutier which serves the 3 Vals - I've never looked into it but there must be a rail service from Lyon - try raileurope.co.uk/. From the station there are regular buses to the resort and a taxi will be significantly cheaper than from Lyon. Good luck. |

If you're landing in Geneva, a very reliable and relatively cheap
option is altibus. http://www.alpski-bus.com/ Ori. "Martino" wrote in message ...
