By plane :
Geneva Airport is 1 hour drive from les Houches. There is a regular
bus service between Geneva and Les Houches (only once or twice a day).
Schedules for local buses are available
here.
It is possible to use a private limousine service
(tel. +33 -4-76 70 30 40 Mr Prieur), but it is strongly advised to
organise in advance group
arrivals with the School.
By train :
Arrival at the Les Houches station, with one change at Saint-Gervais
(from France), or at Martigny (from Switzerland). There is about 10 trains
per day between St Gervais and Les Houches.
Then we strongly advise you to take a taxi (tel. +33 -4-50 54 41 76
or +33 -4-50 54 41 09) to go up to the school (5km).
By road :
Les Houches are easily accessible from France (A41 highway), from Switzerland (Martigny and Col des Montets) and from Italy (through the "Tunnel du Mont Blanc").
From Geneva and Le Fayet: 8km before Chamonix, 300 m after passing under the tunnel, bear right by the first road out for "Les Houches Les Trabets". When arriving at the cable car station "Bellevue", turn right and continue upwards (roughly 2 km starting from the teleferic). 500m after the cable car station "Prarion", turn left and follow small arrows at crossroads. Continue up to the end of Route de la Côte des Chavants. Here you are!
From Chamonix: bear right for "Les Houches-Chef-Lieu", turn right in Les Houches, go ahead at the cable car station "Bellevue". Then proceed as above.
Cars may be rented from Geneva and from Chamonix, but it is useful to make reservations.
