Bizarrely it can be much easier to find your way onto the French motorway from the Swiss side of the airport, so you should bear this in mind when hiring a car.Īlthough Geneva has 2 terminals - Charter and Main - the Charter terminal is only really used during winter and has limited facilities there is a snack bar and restaurant but no money-changing facilities. It is worth noting that Geneva Airport is split in two - with French and Swiss sides. Geneva has a greater number of flights to/from more destinations so you should consider the best option, based on flight price, availability and transfer ease (more frequent services and pricing). If you do end up there, you'll need to self-drive the rest of the way (and don't overlook some of the mountain-passes shown on apps/route-planners are shut in winter as they're snowed up, or will be closed due to snow!). If you're wondering why we haven't covered Turin, Milan, or any other airports, it's because they just aren't recommended for flying to the French ski resorts.
One workaround to transfer issues is car hire, if you're comfortable driving in inclement conditions, in winter at least. Geneva is one of the busiest International airports giving good access to most of the nearby ski resorts and summer destinations, year round. Therefore, Geneva remains a very viable option, not least as the increased transfer costs are offset by generally cheaper flights. Both these airports are usually much more expensive to fly into and have very limited capacity (if at all at certain times). If you can get flights to Grenoble or Lyon, go for it, your transfers will be shorter and cheaper, which is usually the ideal scenario. The issue with airports for Les 2 Alpes is that both Grenoble Airport and Lyon Airport are far closer. In other instances for French ski resorts, we have only one main recommendation: Geneva airport. When deciding which airport to fly to for Les 2 Alpes, it's quite tricky.
