One of the reasons for Chamonix Mont Blanc’s popularity as a year round holiday resort, particularly for those booking short breaks, is its accessibility to Geneva Airport.

Well-renowned operators like Easyjet and British Airways fly from a large choice of UK airports to Geneva, and once you arrive it is only an hour’s drive up the motorway to the heart of the resort.

Once in Resort
Once you are in resort you will find that you occasionally need to travel to get to all of the local ski areas. If you have hired a car from the airport you will have your own transport to explore the area. You could utilize the public bus service which goes up and down the valley throughout the day, and is free to use with your ski pass.
