Transport methods to La Tania<\/p><\/div>\n
Getting to the Alps by Plane<\/h2>\n
Flying can be a cost-efficient and quick way to get to the Alps. This of course depends on where you live (distance to airport with frequent number of flights), and how close your ski resort is to the airport.<\/p>\n
In general, most people fly into Geneva Airport. It offers a large number of EasyJet and British Airways flights in and out daily, and provides easy access to most resorts in the French Alps. However other airports to look into are Lyon, Grenoble and Chambery. Although they might have fewer flights, they can get you closer to your resort. For example La Tania is only 1hr15min drive from Chambery versus the 2hrs15 mins from Geneva.<\/p>\n
You need to take into consideration the flight cost (plus baggage, which will be extra if you\u2019re bringing your skis with you) as well as the cost getting to resort – via a transfer, renting a car or train.<\/p>\n
From the airport<\/h2>\n
Transfers are simple and definitely take away any hassle. Someone is there waiting to take you to the transfer bus and drive you straight to your accommodation whilst you sit back and relax. Typically, a one way private transfer from Geneva to La Tania for four people costs approx 300 Euros. If you go for a shared option, the price is between 50 and 65 Euros per person. However, you might have to wait around in the airport for others or have a longer trip to resort because of other drop offs along the way.<\/p>\n
You can rent a car at the airport, which usually works out cheaper than transfers if you have 4+ people. You also have the flexibility to leave and return when you\u2019d like. And you can get around in resort if needed – which can be a huge perk. Make sure any car you rent has snow tyres on it!<\/p>\n
There is also the option to take the train from the airport. However these are usually pretty inefficient (loads of stops) and still won\u2019t get you directly into resort – unless of course you\u2019re going to Chamonix!<\/p>\n
You\u2019re looking at roughly 7hrs travel time from arrival at the airport in the UK, plus any travel time to the airport. So this is definitely the quickest way to get to the Alps.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\nGetting to the Alps by Car<\/h2>\n
Driving can be a cost efficient way when you have lots of people and loads of luggage. Ski equipment for each person on a flight quickly ads up. You can also bring out food with you (which is definitely cheaper in the UK than France) if you\u2019re staying self-catered, or you just want some goodies from home.<\/p>\n
Once you\u2019re in France it\u2019s approximately 10hrs to Courchevel. Do keep in mind there are a number of tolls in France that you\u2019ll have to factor into the budget.<\/p>\n
Road trips can be super fun. And again, this gives you a car to use in resort which allows you to get around to places that the local buses might not be able to.<\/p>\n
