By Road

As an alternative to flights, you could drive down to the Alps. We recommend the Eurotunnel FlexiPlus service, which gives you greater flexibility, avoids boarding queues, and offers access to an exclusive lounge where you can stock up on complimentary drinks, snacks, and newspapers. If you are driving do bear in mind that you will also need to budget for fuel, tolls, breakdown insurance, and snow chains and any overnight stops.

Please check your route carefully before you travel. Sat Navs and web-based route planners such as Google Maps may select routes that are not suitable in winter. Please adhere to all road signs along the way.

Directions to Reberty 2000

Local step by step
Leave the N90 at Moutiers following signs for SAINT-MARTIN-DEBELLEVILLE, LES MÉNUIRES and VAL THORENS. The road climbs steadily past St Martin De Belleville and then goes through Les Menuires. As you pass through Les Menuires follow signs for Reberty (also known as Reberty 2000). You will wind past the development of Reberty 1850 on a series of tight bends. Around 1.2 miles from the centre of Les Menuires you will see Reberty 2000 on your right.

As you approach Reberty 2000, you will see the “Garages des Pistes” on the RHS. Reberty 2000 is the next turning on the right. On the approach to this turning, you will see a large wooden sign advertising the “Ferme de Reberty” restaurant and a ski school office at the turning – turn here into Reberty 2000. If you reach Chalet 2000 you have gone too far. Follow the road round to the right (there is a one way system in place!).
