Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

if there's a few of you hire a car thru www.holidayautos.co.uk. No waiting about and wheels when you are there too.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

If you do not want to drive you can catch the bus, its very easy and you make the booking on line and get the tickets sent to your home.

The Altibus looks good - well cheap and pretty regular, and I'm thinking of using it next month to get from Geneva to the French Alps.
One scenario worries me..... what happens if my flight's a couple of hours late? Will Altibus be happy to let me on the later bus, or might I be stuck? If so is there a better plan B than getting a taxi from Geneva to the 3 valleys (I've heard talk of £100-ish for this). Has this happened to anyone on here?

If you don't want to book the tickets over t'inernet you can buy em at the Airport. Looking at the info I managed to track down there a "Bus -Ticket" desk on the arrivals level in the International Sector of the airport.
For some useful info check the public transport section, from/to ski stations link here http://www.gva.ch/en/default.htm
I found the altibus website far too confusing and difficult to work... can only book tickets 7 days in advance .. or summat

No you have to at least give 7 days for the tickets to arrive. You can buy the tickets in the arrival hall there is a desk as soon as you come through the arrivals hall. Bus transfers. I found it all very easy when i used them in Jan. And they ran on time
