At Ski Power, travel details are discussed separately to your accommodation. In this way, you are
free to make independent travel arrangements, or we would be happy to organise this for you (an appropriate
surcharge will apply).
Don't forget that our Geneva flights are only available at the discounted price if you book them at the same
time as your holiday! We have contracts in place to be able to offer a competitive price or you are free to
make all your own arrangements if you prefer.
You can travel to the Alps in any way you please or we can offer the following options as part of your holiday package:
- Ski Power flights and transfers to Geneva airport from £35.
- Cross Channel Self Drive with the Ferry or Eurotunnel: Dover to Calais or Portsmouth to Le Havre.
- Train Tickets with the Snowtrain from London via Paris or Eurostar Direct Services from London.
- Charter Flights from Gatwick, Birmingham or Manchester and scheduled flights from any UK airport.
- Transfers only allowing you to make use of the budget airlines or your own air miles.

We haven't included other costs that you may incur as these would be flexible to your specific method of travel. For example, few people travel all the way through France
in one day and so you are likely to have extra acommodation costs for two overnight stays (One each way). Parking costs in resort (there are free options in most resorts). You should also consider the inconvenience of having to navigate unknown roads, costs of snow chains (obligatory) and other small incidentals to make your car road legal in France (eg it is obliatory to carry a reflective jacket, have headlight deflectors etc) Obviously all of these items add to the cost of your travel arrangements.
