Swiss Rail Tickets
Started by User in Switzerland, 16 Replies
I used to work in Switzerland and cover a few resorts, including Nendaz & Zermatt. Your best bet, if you're looking to simply go from the airport to your chosen Swiss resort and back again, is a Swiss Transfer Ticket. It would include the bus from Sion up to Nendaz as well. I used to point my customers in the direction of swisspasses.com (http://www.swisspasses.com/railpass/transfer/).

Chambery airport. Your experiences?

I've never had a good experience when using Chambery, weather has always played its part and I've spent many an hour there. The problem is the terminal just cannot cope with lots of delayed flights. Try to use Geneva these days as the weather is much more stable there.

I've heard its quite easy to get the train to Saint Michel from Lyon and then get a bus up the hill, has anyone got any experience in doing this?

I haven't booked a flight yet so any suggestions on which airport is the most convenient would be very much appreciated.


How many of you going?
I'm looking at Lyon to Serre Che, similar distance me thinks although opposite sides of Grenoble.
Car hire is about £300 for a week.


Just myself, I may be going out just for a few days to meet some friends in Valmeinier. Lyon has the cheapest flights in and out but the website and the trans-alpes website isn't very clear on what bus transfers there are and what time they run. The train may be the best option.

We had a thunderstorm in Courchevel just before Christmas one afternoon and they didn't close the pistes
