Chalet Blanchot
Planes
Chambéry airport, just under 90 minutes away, is closest to the resort. Flybe (www.flybe.com) has services in the winter from Southampton, Norwich, Exeter, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds and Newcastle. It’s about three hours to Lyon and Geneva airports. Helicopter and private plane transfers to the Courchevel Altiport can be arranged by the chalet. The landings and take-offs look quite terrifying, though, if you ask us.
Trains
Eurostar (www.eurostar.com) operates a convenient overnight Ski Train service. It runs on Fridays and Saturdays, stopping at Moûtier, 30 minutes from Courchevel.
Local taxi service
Call +33 (0)4 79 01 10 10 to pre-order a taxi.
Directions by road
Follow the E711 and E70 from Lyon, or the E25 and E712 from Geneva to Chambéry. Take the péage to Alberville and then the N90 dual carriageway to Moûtier. Just beyond the town, the road to Courchevel climbs the mountainside in a series of tight hairpin bends. Turn left onto Rue de Belvedere at Courchevel 1650.
