Geneva Airport
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.
Tignes
Along with Val D'Isere, Tignes makes up
the huge Esapce Killy ski area with around 300 kms of pistes. It is
one of only a few resorts in Europe classified as snow-sure. It boasts
a very long winter season plus summer skiing and snowboarding on it's
glacier. It is well known for it's good off-piste, half-pipe and snowboard
parks. The night life here is also top drawer with many different
venues to choose from and a very friendly atmosphere. It is spread
over five resort centres with Les Brevieres at the bottom being the
most picturesque. Next up is Les Boisses followed by Le Lac and Lavachet
which are probably the best spots for nightlife and shopping along
with Val Claret at 2100 metres.
