Car hire in GVA now have to get them from France don't you as swiss car hire cannot be used in france. I've heard of Ben's Bus - I thought it was just like the number 42 from Geneva to a random stop in the middle of resort?

I'm building a spreadsheet. Every good holiday needs a spreadsheet! :)
Shared Transfers to Les Arcs 1950
Started by User in France, 2 Replies
Now here's a strange one. I've never had a problem before getting a shared transfer to the likes of PDS. However, looking for the same for Les Arcs 1950 is a different matter - they all seem to be private with a price tag of circa 300 euro pp return!

Anyone recommend a suitable transfer provider - not one that does the whole of the french alps en route!

Adders - looked at Ski Lifts and they only seem to do private :(

Ah yes - Grenoble of course, is that a big airport or a local one? Monarch do a return to Grenoble £266 return for 2 people - bargain :)

I've looked at BA flights to Grenoble and they are really cheap, however as I am coming from the delightful north via LHR then the journey time is 6 hours :(

The other downside to GVA, is when a transfer picks you up it is at the far end past the station (well it was 2 yrs ago), t hat's one hell of a trek!

Will speak to Mrs Icy - also decisions to be made about transfer. Got a question on that but will start a new thread :)

I will post a mint picture....

It's good to be back :D
Geneva Airport

Hi there, I'm back :)
Just booked my accommodation in Les Arcs 1950 for March next year - staying at posh Raddisson Blu :D
Anyway, we usually fly with Easy Jet to Geneva which normally means that the return flight is a fight at Geneva airport while every flight seem to check into one desk. Meaning its a big scrum usually followed by a busy run through the airport to make sure don't miss the plane that is always the furthest away gate.
Every year, I say never again!! But I keep doing it again. This year I want to change
I am considering flying from Manchester via LHR to Geneva as I have had great experiences with BA.
Has anyone used Monarch or Jet2 to fly out of Geneva? Is it the same brawl that takes place for easy jet?
Thanks
Icy - you will never get rid of me :D


A busy morning :)
Has Icy broken the law??

They are clearly saying now in Geneva that if you take the car outside Switzerland you are not insured :(
