Access > How to reach the schoolAccess
By planeGeneva Airport is 1 hour drive from les Houches. Shuttle serviceThe simplest way is to use a shuttle service (approximately 40 euros up to the school, book at least three days in advance). If you already have your return date, we would recommend to book a return trip. Beware: we do not recommend the Alpybus company (they do not reach the school). Price discounts are available with Mountain Drop-Offs. To find Mountain Drop-Offs' meeting point easily in the Geneva Airport please consult the video How to find Mountain Drop-Offs at Geneva Airport. Regular bus serviceThere is also a regular bus service between Geneva and Les Houches (only once or twice a day). One should then take a taxi for the last 5 kms from the Les Houches village to the school (the total cost is similar to that of the limousine). TrainOne can also travel from Geneva to Les Houches by train (+ taxi from the train station to the School), but it is quite complicated (3 connections) and long (go through Annemasse on the French side or through Martigny on the Swiss side). By trainArrival at the Les Houches station, with one change at Saint-Gervais (from France), or at Martigny (from Switzerland). The school is located 5 km away from the village center. It can be reached either by a 40 minutes walk or by taking a taxi . Taxi phone numbers :
