Planning your trip - Argentiere - France

The easiest route to Argentiere is to fly into Geneva (the closest airport) and then travel by road to the resort. The next biggest airport is Turin - reached through the Mont Blanc tunnel, or Lyon St Exupery.

Within fifty minutes' drive from the airport, in theory (depending on the punctuality of your airline) you could be on the slopes for lunchtime after an early morning flight from the UK.

It is possible to take the train to St. Gervais Les Bains and from their take the Mont Blanc Express.
