If you’re driving from:
- Calais – 892 km (€73 tolls) along the E17 (A26/A4/A26/A31)
- Brussels – 857 km (€41 tolls) I guess along the A4/E25/A31/A39/A40
- Paris – 612 km (€47 tolls) along the A6/E15 Autoroute du Soleil
- Geneva Airport – 94 km (€5.40 tolls) along the A40 (Autoroute du Mt. Blanc)
…or anywhere else in Continental Europe, you can drive to Chalet Kiana knowing there’s plenty of space to park your car(s) at the chalet!
The great thing about getting to Les Contamines by car is that most of your journey will be by motorway, with only the last 20 km being on winding mountain roads. For those last few minutes of your journey, here are our directions to the chalet (click to download):
If you’re not coming to Chalet Kiana from GVA, then you will just pick up the directions once you get on to the Autoroute du Mt. Blanc (A40): a rather more picturesque A40 than our one in England.
As you will have noticed, these directions were prepared in Nov-08, since when the ‘new’ roundabout is no longer new, and the tape on the ‘new’ sign has gone.
Bonne route!
PS. If renting a car from Geneva Airport we recommend that you use the service on the Swiss side and not the French side. Whilst prices are often a little cheaper if collected from the French side, winter tyres nor Vignette (Swiss motorway tax disc) are included as standard. Directions from the Swiss side are also much clearer as you leave the airport straight onto the motorway network whereas the French side will take you via smaller roads and unless you are familiar with the area, this can be confusing. We have used Rhinocarhire from both sides of the Airport and found the Swiss side easier.
