 Poster: A snowHead
|
I’m tearing my hair out trying to figure out a way to get from Bormio in Italy to Morzine in France.
I can’t fly without going via Amsterdam. Two planes to go a few hours by road seems a bit mad.
I could get a transfer to Milan airport, and from there Google gives me a complex series of train transfers taking about 7 hours to get to Cluses train station which becomes road distance to Morzine.
I can drive but a car hire from a nearby train station for 2 hours to get to Morzine is quoting at £625!
This may just be how it is, but does anyone know of other ways to get between nearby alps resorts like this before I commit to the train option? Or any car hire companies that don’t seem to charge silly prices for different end drop off locations in the alps?
Thanks!

Have you looked at getting the train from Tirano into Switzerland? Get to Geneva by train then pick up a transfer to Morzine.
Or train Tirano - Milan - Aosta, bus Aosta - Chamonix, train Chamonix - Le Fayet - Cluses, bus Cluses - Morzine.

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

@acrim, can you not get a taxi from the station to morzine for a lot less than car hire?

@acrim, I think you'll find there are some topographical obstacles ...
Car rentals are nuts now and they never like cross border rentals (why would they?) - they have to pay someone to drive the car back across the border ...
rome2rio is usually a good step for a hint.

Train to Geneva and shared transfer into town. Easy.

break the trip down, so instead of A to B, look at other routes.
If you can get to Landquart CH, you can get a train to Geneva via Zurich.
Long trip either way, but I guess the less changes the better.

This - train from Milan Central to Geneva with no changes, out to the airport and get a bus or shared transfer to Morzine.
I used to do Montreux to Milan direct a number of years ago, the train came from Geneva.
