With the majority of “low cost” airlines flying into France from acorss the UK, we understand that this is a popular option. The transfer service we offer varies from resort to resort, but allows you the flexibilty of buying your own flight but having the reassurance that you can get from the airport to your resort.
Argentiere, Chamonix & Flaine – Geneva Airport – a minibus shuttle will meet your flight and take you directly to your accommodation. It’s not a private transfer, so sometimes we need to wait a short time for other flights to come in (usually no more than 45 minutes). It is critical that when you book a transfer you tell us the flight number, time of arrival into destination airport (we don't need to know what time you take off) and your mobile number when we request this information (usually about 6 weeks before your holiday).
We’ll send you a text the day before you travel with the name & mobile number of the driver that is picking you up. Flight delays are unfortunately common – we keep an eye on your flight and may reschedule your pick-up. Hence it’s critical we have your flight number and for you to switch your mobile on as soon as you land.
For your return, we text you the day before with a pick-up time, the drivers name & number. Expect your pick up to be about 3-4 hrs before your flight time, allowing sufficient time for the normal traffic & weather delays.
Les Arcs, La Plagne, Tignes & Val d’Isere – Geneva Airport – we will book you a ticket on either our own bus, or the resort bus from Geneva airport. This is a scheduled service and cannot wait for delayed flights. If your flight is delayed then the ticket is valid for the next service – check the times carefully when you book and allow yourself at least 60 mins between landing and the bus time. If your flight is seriously delayed and you miss the last bus then we will try our best to help you find your way to your resort, but you may need to claim the extra costs from either the airline or your travel insurance.
For your return transfer you need to book a seat on the bus that arrives in Geneva at least 3 hrs before for your flight – check carefully when you book your transfer that the details are correct.
Les 2 Alpes - same as above but from Grenoble airport
Serre Chevalier – Turin / Grenoble Airport – We provide transfers from Turin Airport. Due to a limited number of flights into Turin, transfers are not as regular but we still aim to have a transfer ready for you within 1hr30 of you landing. You can alternatively fly into Grenoble and arrange your own trannsfer with The Alpine Transfer Company but please be aware, if the normal road is closed due to snow, the transfer has to take a long alternative route to reach the resort.
