Finding Us
- Getting to the Alpine Flying Centre
If you decide to fly, our closest airport is Geneva in
Switzerland, only an hour's drive to Domancy. A number of low cost
airlines fly into Geneva and renting a car or taking a minibus transfer is
straightforward. Often renting a car is more economical than the minibus if
there are 3 or more persons. For car rental; try an internet search: 'Geneva Airport car
rentals'.
There are a number of minibus companies and prices are from 40 Euros per
person each
way. One we can recommend is www.genevaairporttransfers.com
or telephone +33 (0) 450 54 57 24 .
Otherwise try an internet search; 'Geneva airport transfers'.
When flying to Geneva and taking a transfer please would you let us have your
details so we know what time to expect you! If you are driving perhaps you
would let us have your estimated time of arrival.
By Train..
St Gervais les Bains - Le Fayet (74) mainline railway station is just a few
minutes from the Lodge and we can collect and drop you off from there. The
train takes around 5 hours from Paris. Try the French network for details.

It is possible to take a train from Geneva to Domancy, but there are three
changes and it takes around 3½ hours. The saving compared with the minibus
transfer is only small and not worth the inconvenience!
Flights..
Depending upon where you choose to fly from you can book low cost flights to
Geneva;
Here's a good tip when thinking about low cost
flights! Many airlines offer low cost flights either early or late in
the day or night. However, unless you are hiring a car from the airport
accessing us via an 'airport transfer company' becomes difficult and
expensive outside normal hours and public transport is near impossible. Try
and plan your flights to arrive sometime between 10.00 - 20.00 hrs!
