We have our own 21 seat mini-coach!

• We can provide transfers from Geneva Airport to Les Houches at a cost of 38 Euros each way, per person. We provide two transfers on change-over day: Mid-morning and mid-afternoon. To use our service you need to book a morning flight into Geneva and a afternoon flight back home. Outside of these times we use an agency which will bring you to our door for a small additional supplement. Please note that transfers are often shared necessitating a short wait (or others may be waiting for you!) unless the whole mini-coach is booked by one party.
• Our mini-coach is also available to take you to, or pick you up from, a different biking or walking area each day. A small charge is made in resort for this service.
• Transport into Chamonix in the evenings can also be provided with a return at a pre-arranged time.
• We also offer a full programme of excursions and guided walks, subject to minimum numbers and weather conditions. Details available in resort.

Some facilities may only be available at certain times of the season and our holiday prices take these factors into account. If you feel any of the facilities mentioned are vital to the enjoyment of your holiday please e-mail/write to us immediately and we will tell you the latest known situation.

Room allocation and facilities. Rooms will be allocated on a 'first come-first served' basis. They generaly consist of one double bed or two single beds (which may be pushed together if required). A third or fourth bed in a room may mean that floor and draw space becomes cramped.

Live and let live. While on holiday you do have to consider other people and observe any local rules with what is considered to be acceptable and reasonable behaviour, and your holiday booking is accepted on this understanding.
