Travelling to the Alps

Whether you would prefer to fly, drive, hop on a train or make your own arrangements, we will have an option that suits you.

You will arrive at your Ski Famille chalet already relaxed and raring to go for your first morning on the slopes. Please see our flight departure times and coach transfer times below…

Inclusive Transfers

Our inclusive return transfers meet the above flights and take you to your resort. *We estimate the transfer time to be between 3-4 hours from airport to resorts, but during half term and French holidays this can be considerably more and transfer times vary from week to week.

General Notes for Transfers

Transfer times will vary depending on road and weather conditions. Transfers will generally be in a coach and it will not be possible to provide or fit child seats. Car hire from airports and train stations can be booked through Argus Car Hire.

Travel to the Alps by Road

As an alternative to flights, you can choose to drive yourself to the Alps.

Les Gets is particularly easy to drive to, as one of the nearest French resorts to the channel. Les Menuires and La Plagne are only an hour further down the autoroute. All journeys are straightforward, and we provide comprehensive directions – including SatNav coordinates for your chalet.

Family Ski Travel Insurance & Ski Holiday Insurance

We require you to take out adequate insurance cover for your Ski Famille skiing holiday. We accept no responsibility for costs incurred by guests that would normally be covered by good quality travel insurance. Items we would expect all travellers to have insured include cancellation, curtailment, expenses resulting from delayed travel, and winter sports specific cover.

Winter Sports are not always covered, or can have some restrictive terms, on annual policies or free policies provided by banks. Do check what is on offer with your current insurer against what is available through MPI.
