Note that there are 3 connections (go through Annemasse on the French side or through Martigny on the Swiss side). Arrival at the station "Les Houches", with one change at Saint-Gervais (from France), or at Martigny (from Switzerland).
• There are about 10 trains per day between St-Gervais-les-Bains Le Fayet and Les Houches (25mn trip).
• Then we strongly advise you to take a taxi to go up to the school (5km).

Plane:

• Geneva Airport is one hour drive from les Houches.
• The simplest way is to use a shuttle service (approximately 40 euros up to the school, book at least three days in advance). If you already have your return date, we would recommend to book a return trip. Consult the list of companies.

Car:

• Les Houches is easily accessible from France (A41 highway), from Switzerland (Martigny and Col des Montets) and from Italy through the Mont-Blanc Tunnel.
• In Les Houches, bear right by the first road out for "Les Houches Bellevue". When arriving at the cable car station "Bellevue", turn right and continue upwards (roughly 2 km starting from the teleferic). 500m after the cable car station "Prarion", turn left and follow small arrows at crossroads. Continue up to the end of Route de la Côte des Chavants. Here you are!
