Geneva airport is situated very close to the French border and, as such, has terminal's in both Switzerland and France. Always exit on the Swiss side unless you have visa issues which prevent you from entering Switzerland (non EU passengers). This is the most popular airport for transfers to our area due to it's proximity and the varied choice or airlines and routes available. EasyJet offer cheap flights to here from a large number of UK cities.
The best route from Geneva takes you along Lake Annecy which is very picturesque but can have heavy traffic during school holidays. The new motorway link between the airport and Annecy which opened in winter 2009 cut transfer times by 15 minutes without affecting the price.

La Plagne

The resort of La Pagne is made up of many villages. Starting from the bottom - Plagne 1800, Plagne Centre, Aime La Plagne, Plagne Bellecote and Belle Plagne (all of which are of the purpose built, high rise variety). There's also Plagne Villages and Plagne Soleil, not to mention Montalbert and Champagny which are accessed from the other side of the resort. The ski runs sprawl over a very large area and provide a very wide range of terrain. The park is fairly average but the pipe is very good after it has been groomed. La Plagne has a reputation as an intermediate, family resort but this is far from the truth as it has plenty of hard runs and good off-piste than can remain untracked for several days after a snowfall.
