WE'RE GOING TO CHATEL ON THE 19TH - 26TH OF FEBRUARY. WE ARE LANDING AT GENEVA AIRPORT. NEED A TRANSFER TO CHATEL AND BACK. I HAD A LOOK AND IT IS OVER €300(FOR 2 OF US). IS THERE A CHEAPER WAY??

CHEERS.

Hi,
There is also the bus. Altibus.com do a return fare from Geneva airport to Chatel for 58 euros per adult and 29 euros per child. However, there seem to be only 2 buses per day, so I don't know if it will suit your flight times. But I wouldn't think you'd find anything cheaper than this.

Out 1330 and 1705
Back 0950 and 1345

e.g. out 1705 arrive 1925
Back 0950 arrive 1215

I am also going ski-ing during half-term and things book up very fast, so you'd better get it sorted. I have used Altibus several times (not to Chatel though) and they seem very reliable. I buy the tickets on the internet and they post them out to me within a few days. I have, however, found several times that their website doesn't work properly (I get error string messages) when I do it in English and I have to use the French version to get my tickets.

Best of luck and I hope you get your transfers. Chatel looks a lovely place :D

Hi Dippy,
Well, at least if you pay the extra money for a taxi you should get there quicker, which would be handy since your flight gets in quite late. The bus seems to take 2 hours and 20 mins whereas the travel section on this website reckons it's only 1 1/2 hours from Geneva to Chatel, and the taxi website I looked at allow 1 hour 50 mins.

I tried booking a taxi for us to go from the train station at Moutiers to Courchevel but I couldn't find one that wasn't booked already, and that was about a month ago! So we're going on the bus again, as usual. The bus is cheaper but takes longer.
