By Plane

Geneva Airport - 70km / approx 50 mins

Geneva Airport Transfers do regular transfers to the resort and Altibus also serve the route well with a regular coach service 

For a private transfer we'd recommend Ski Lifts

There’s not much in the way of public transport between Chambéry and St Gervais, but the drive isn’t too long so you can hire a car or take a private transfer with Ski Lifts

Other than hiring a car and driving you can take a private transfer with Ski Lifts as above

By Train

Travelling by train is certainly possible and requires a couple of changes. You will need to take the train from London St Pancras to Paris where a change of station is required from Gare du Nord across the city to Gare de Lyon to catch the domestic TGC service to Annecy. From here, change is at Annecy for the train direct to the resort and St Gervais Les Bains station.

Another easier option however slightly more expensive would be to take the direct TGV service from Paris Gare de Lyon to Cluses and take a taxi the last 35km to St Gervais.
