There are many flight options to the alps. The airports to fly to are: Geneva, Chambery, Lyon, and Grenoble (and Turin for Risoul). Geneva has the largest options of flights available at different times but it is the furthest airport from most resorts except Avoriaz and Port du Soleil region.
Flights generally take around 1.5 hours to any airport in the alps.
The low-cost airlines are the cheapest usually, however, BA and Aer Lingus do have good offers now and again.
Check ski carriage options: on EasyJet, any sized baggage up to 20kg can be booked on as luggage i.e. if you can fit all your stuff into a ski bag for the weight then there is no need to buy extra ski carriage. This is not the case for all of them and some charge extortionate amounts for ski carriage. Some may have offers to include it at times.
Book your own flight + book a WLT Transfer
You will need to get a transfer from the airport to resort. We offer transfers from select airports, depending on the size of the trip and the volume of people choosing to fly. The main airports that we offer transfers from are Geneva, Grenoble and Lyon. These will be available to book through your booking page once your additional options are live.
On your booking page, we will have detailed all the transfer times and airports that WLT transfers are servicing. Our transfers are HUGELY discounted, so we highly recommend you booking a flight that matches one of these transfers, and then booking a transfer through the booking site.
Our transfers will always do a drop off / pick up based on the accommodation we have provided for the week, so you will never be too far from the pick up/drop off points, making life so much easier!
Book your own flight + transfer
There are also many companies that operate transfers in the alps as well as public buses. At Geneva and Lyon there is a train station in the airport which will take you to any large interchange to get a bus up the mountain. We recommend talking to our partner Ben's Bus to arrange affordable transfers catering to groups of all sizes.
At every airport, there is a tourist information desk that will inform you of how to get to your resort. There is no discount for booking early and you will be fine to buy on the spot rather than pre-book.
The standard transfer time from an airport to the resort is 2-4hrs. You may have to change buses/trains to get to your resort if you are getting a public transfer, and your pick up/drop off locations may be far from your accommodation!
