 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi all, I am taking the family for their first skiing holiday in February to St Gervais. Best accommodation deal we could get for a family of 5 was in La Fayet.
Does anybody have any experience of this village? Tips on transport to the lift stations that kind of thing woukd be really helpful.
Thanks all

@Clem Fandango, will you have a car? It's a bit of a hike to the skiing. There is a village bus service.

I would rent a car, to be honest, if you can swing it. There's plenty of parking at the Bettex lift station, and you'll have the option to drive up to Les Contamines or over to Combloux at Megeve. Although, to be fair, I haven't looked at the bus schedule so it could be very favorable.

@Clem Fandango, hmmm, not really I’d imagine. Train+Bus I’d think? Never had to look.

The Tramway de Mont Blanc starts in Le Fayet and will take you up to Les Houches but would probably be expensive to do more than once. It is on a different lift pass to St. Gervais. For St. Gervais you can get a local 'SAT' bus up to the main lift station from Le Fayet which also goes to Les Contamines. Check the timetable...I think it gets cheaper the more journeys you pay for. You could also take the tramway up to the station in St. Gervais then hop on the free navette but again it might be about costs for a family (fun though).
