| Chambéry Savoie | CMF | 1 h 30 min by car | The closest airport for jets. Very busy on winter Saturdays, calmer the rest of the week. |
| Geneva | GVA | 2 h 30 min by car | More flights and FBOs, with a longer road up to the resort. |
| Geneva | GVA | 25 min by helicopter | Lands on the helipad in the resort, often the fastest way from Geneva. |
| Courchevel Altiport | CVF | 5 min by car | A short sloping runway at 2,000 m. Only small aircraft and specially trained pilots, in daylight. |
Snow can slow the road and ground helicopters. Your advisor keeps a backup car ready.
