Coaches to Val Thorens

It's really easy to get to Val Thorens because the ski area is located just 200km from Geneva International airport. But, flying isn't your only option, you can drive and there are also trains and coaches that come here too.

Whilst there's more than one route option to consider, there's no ignoring the environmental cost of a ski holiday. The means by which you travel to your holiday contributes around 50-70% of its carbon footprint, and with global warming and melting glaciers making the headlines daily, when figuring out what's 'best' for you, you may wish to also consider what's best for the environment.
