Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Ski Total - Val d'Isere

Hi
Has anyone had any experience of a Ski Total airport transfer from GVA - Val d'Isere? Any idea if they like to keep the coaches waiting for lots of flights, do they use toll road and length of time it takes to val?
thanks

Moira from Ski Total here:
Like most companies we plan our flights to arrive within a specificed time and combine coaches to keep costs to a minimum. Therefore there should be minimal delay at Geneva provided flights arrive when expected. So far this season the worst case has been a wait of an hour from first flight in to coach leaving but that is not the norm.
We use the new toll road from Geneva to Annecy and then go round the lake as it is quicker than using the motorway via Chambery - especially on a Sunday. Takes about 2 3/4 hours but might be slightly more depending on how long people take at the comfort stop - noramlly around Moutiers.
Hope this helps.

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

........ or as happened to me last year when I went with Ski Total to Zermatt via Geneva, you have to wait until all the flights from the various regional airports have arrived and all the guests have been distributed to their various resort transfer coaches, I seem to remember hanging about for more than an hour.

If one flight is delayed, the coaches won't leave, and with half a dozen flights there's a disappointingly frequent chance of this happening.

If the Birmingham passenger's skis have been sent to the main terminal instead of the charter terminal then you'll have another hour's delay while they sort that one out too!

But then you're on holiday, so chill and enjoy it!!!!!!!!!!!!! wink Crying or Very sad

Really? took us 2 3/4 hours to get to plagne 1800 a couple of saturdays ago (in a coach) and Val D'izzle is quite a bit further up the N90

I went with Ski Total in Jan'11. Flew to Geneva and was transferring to Tignes. My flight was first in, but to be honest it felt like the wait for the transfer coach to leave was shorter than I've experienced with other tour operators. Reckon we waited no more than an hour and given that you can go and sit at the cafe at the airport I thought it was fine. Actual transfer couldn't have taken much more than 2 and a half hours, including a brief stop at Moutiers (I think). Traffic on the Sunday was definitely quieter than Saturday transfers.

It wouldn't put me off doing that transfer again

We were with Ski Esprit but as they are the same company as Ski total, we were sharing a coach with Ski total travellers, we were transferring from Chambery to Courchevel. because a flight was delayed they shuffled things around so we took some people to an extra stop but it meant our coach wasn't hanging around for ages.
