Ski Holiday Travel

Travel by plane

The quickest and simplest way of travelling to the Alps is by plane. Expect to the flight to last for 1 hour 10 mins and then the wait at the airport for your transfer to be between half an hour and 2 hours (subject to delays). The transfer from airport to resort will then take anywhere between 1 hour and 3 hours depending on resort of choice.

Travel by car

Often a good way to save money for a group of 4 is to drive to the Alps - especially in peak season where you can save £150 per person on our holiday prices by not taking our flights. You will also save on UK airport parking, ski carriage and extra baggage charges. Drive-time to the Alps is anywhere between 7 and 10 hours on the French side. Petrol is about 10-15% cheaper, but expect to pay tolls of up to £40-50 each way. Resorts that benefit from a car (for convenience) are Chamonix, Morzine, Les Gets, Tignes Brevieres, La Plagne, Sainte Foy. See self drive ski deals
