Directions

If you are driving to the Alps, the cost of a car with four passengers averages about £80 per head for a round trip to the Tarentaise Valley if you live within 200 miles of Dover. The journey should take you no longer than nine hours from Calais. There are a number of different ways to cross the channel which includes the Channel Tunnel which takes approximately 35 minutes, a speed ferry (which can be the most cost effective) which gets you across in 50 minutes or a standard car ferry which normally takes around 90 minutes. Aim for a ferry departure from UK at around 08.00 hrs. You should then arrive at the chalet between 18.00 and 19.00 hrs. Please note that it is obligatory to carry snow chains when driving in the Alps. The route is easily navigated and follows autoroutes for 95% of the journey. Directions are as follows: 

• From Calais
• Autoroute A26 via Reims & Troyes
• A5 direction Chaumont & Dijon
• A31 direction Dijon
• A6 direction Mâcon
• A40 direction Bourg-En-Bresse (before Lyon)
• A42 Lyon airport (Saint Exupery)
• A432 past airport
• A43 direction Chambery
• A430 Albertville (autoroute splits)
• Direction Moutiers 
• N90 direction Bourg St Maurice (For Ste Foy)

Directions to individual chalets will be emailed to you shortly before you depart. We strongly advise you print them before departing as relying on Sat Nav systems has proved a disaster in the past! Please call us when you are in Bourg St. Maurice so we know when to expect you. Your chalet hosts will meet you outside the chalet.

The tolls for a return journey are approximately 60 € each way. Payment by card or cash. Expect to pay approximately 1,25 € per litre for petrol on the autoroute, diesel is over 10% cheaper.

Please note: If you are arranging your own travel, please be aware that the chalet will be available for your use from 4pm on the changeover day. By prior arrangement, we are happy to provide you with a room after 9am in which to store your luggage, refresh and get changed. We would like to advise you that occasionally on changeover days there could be some overlap of incoming and outgoing guests.
