Anyone know of a cost effective way of transferring from Geneva Airport to Les Crosets? I've only been able to find expensive private transfers or car hire options.

@skidm, train from airport to Aigle station which is quite close, maybe 20 mins or so by road so taxi from there. Or I think but not sure there is some kind of train/tram from Aigle which goes up to Val d'Illiez which would get you even closer.

@skidm, what @sarah said. I stayed in Val d'Illiez a few years ago and we caught the train from Geneva airport to Aigle and then cog railway up to Val d'Illiez. There's a ski bus that runs from Val d'Illiez station to Le Croset but a taxi from there isn't going to be too expensive. You can do the journey using the Swiss Transfer ticket too. Just check whether it's cheaper that way or booking via the train company. See www.swisspasses.com for the transfer ticket.

It's a doddle and a nice way to arrive.
I think we changed at Aigle onto a smaller train. Hotel then picked us up at Val d'Illiez.

Does anyone know if Swiss train ticket costs are fixed or do you save with early booking?

@skidm, I believe the best deal is to book them as a foreign visitor. sbb.ch is the website.

@skidm, doesn't matter but check that the transfer ticket is cheaper than a normal journey as this is not a very long transfer.
