Travel by Road:
Les Menuires is approximately 600 miles from Calais. The roads are excellent and few traffic problems make driving one of the most convenient ways to get to the resort. The total journey time is approximately 9 hours and will cost you about €60 in tolls each way. As you depart Calais follow the signs to Reims, Troyes, Dijon, Lyon, Chambery, Albertville, Moutiers and finally Les Menuires / Val Thorens. Just a few kilometres before Les Menuires there will be a turning on the right into Praranger Le Bettaix. (It is after the turnings for St Marcel and Les Granges.) Turn into Le Bettaix and follow the main road which runs along the edge of a river. Follow this road for about two minutes. Chalet Genepi is the first chalet on the left after you pass the two schools. For chalet Sara Marie, cross the first bridge and it is the first chalet on your right in the new development before the second bridge. Le Bettaix is about seven minutes drive from Les Menuires.
Please note that it is obligatory to carry snow chains when driving in the Alps.
