Flights

To find routes and airlines please see our flight finder page. For a map and satellite view see the Location Map. Detailed driving directions to the resort from the airports are in the 'Driving to' section below.
Geneva
Geneva at 62 miles (100 kms) is the closest airport with excellent autoroute links. It is a major international airport so there are plenty of flights to choose from all parts of the UK and ROI.
Chambery
Chambery at 90 miles (145 kms) is also convenient. It is well served in the ski season from most regions of the UK. However due to its position at the end of the Lac du Bourget the airport can be more affected by bad weather than the alternatives so a last minute change of destination is more likely.
Lyon
Lyon at 137 miles (220 kms) is a large, modern 'hub' airport. Although well served from the eastern side of the UK not many options are available for skiers from the west and south west.
Grenoble
Grenoble located half way between Lyon and Grenoble at a distance of 140 miles (225 kms) is the furthest airport. Direct flights are possible from most regions of the UK in the season. Of special interest to skiers from Cornwall and Devon are flights from Newquay and Plymouth.
