By Driving

Getting to Chalet Chovettaz is really easy.

We are only 1 hour from Geneva Airport.

Car Hire

Both Geneva and Lyon airports have excellent car hire facilities. A car gives you added flexibility once in Les Contamines, whether to visit the shops, medical center, pharmacy, Market, friends or a more distant restaurant on the chefs night out! You may wish to check with us prior to making your travel plans so we can offer advice on special deals, rates and routings.

Own Car

Some of you may wish to bring your own car and start your holiday by travelling through the beautiful and varied French countryside on roads and autoroutes that are a dream to travel along. www.mappy.fr. This site will give you door to door instructions on how best to travel through France, including typical cost of journey, toll fees etc. We are a short 20 minute drive from the autoroute A40 junction No 21. Bringing your own transport allows you endless possibilities to explore the area and because our holidays start and end on Sunday you’ll be able to enjoy your journey on uncluttered and lorry-free roads. For speed, ease, reliability and flexibility use Eurotunnel whose new website is www.eurotunnel.com. We strongly advise having snow chains with you during the winter months.

Whether in your own car or a hire car, you must have at least the following equipment: - Yellow Hi visibility vest, warning triangle, and snow chains (you can buy these once in the services station on the A40, or at the "Roady" shop just after junction No21 in Le Fayet) in the mountains in winter. (manual cars are often easier to use in snowy conditions than automatics).
