By mode of transport

Come on your skis or by bike! … well, all right, you might be coming from a bit further afield, and it would be a shame to waste time travelling rather than enjoying all the great things the resort has to offer.

The location of the Portes du Soleil region means there are plenty of ways to get here. We’ve listed the most popular and direct transport options for reaching us – just follow our guide!

By road

In the heart of the Alps, between Lake Geneva and Mont Blanc, the Portes du Soleil ski area is ideally situated an hour from Geneva, easily accessible and close to major European cities.

From the French side, the A40 takes you to the foot of the mountain range, 30 minutes from the mountain resorts; from the Swiss side, take the A9 to Vionnaz or Monthey, 20 minutes from the Valais villages.

A few tips

Why not consider carpooling?

It’s convenient, more environmentally friendly and a great way to socialise, so do consider carpooling when travelling to the resort.

Do remember to let your driver know if you’re bringing your bike or bulky ski equipment 😉

Affordable and convenient, the bus services will allow you to reach the Portes du Soleil resorts with complete peace of mind.

Shuttle buses run all year round to make your journeys easier.

Say goodbye to the stress of driving and the hassle of finding a parking space!

In the mountains, weather conditions can sometimes lead to unpleasant surprises on the roads.

To ensure a safe journey, don’t forget to check the road conditions and make sure your safety equipment is in good working order (winter tyres, snow chains, etc.).

By train

The resort is situated close to major railway stations.

Access to the ski resorts is provided by the TGV:
– Thonon-les-Bains and Cluses (in France)

Access to the ski resorts is via the TGV Lyria

Shuttle services take you right into the heart of the villages!

In Switzerland, the AOMC regional train (Aigle – Ollon – Monthey – Champéry) connects Aigle CFF station directly to the village of Champéry (in the canton of Valais) in around 1 hour, travelling through the Illiez Valley.

By plane

The Portes du Soleil ski area is situated one hour from Geneva International Airport.

The airport is served by 49 airlines and handles 388 flights a day.

As soon as you step off the plane, shuttle buses will take you to the mountain villages in one hour.
