By Air

When you are booking with us we will try and advise you to select the airport that our triathlon coaches fly into - normally Geneva.  This means that we can arrange for you to be collected and returned on a minibus paid for by us. 

However, it is reasonably straight forward to make your own travel arrangements to join us in La Tania.  Most La Tania visitors will use the airports at either Geneva, Lyon, Chambery or Grenoble - booking with one of the budget airlines easyjet, BMI Baby, Flybe or Ryan Air.

Airport Transfers

If you couldn't get on the same flight as one of our triathlon coaches, or a flight with similar timings, then you'll probably need a lift to La Tania.  Please pre-book with either Phil at www.snowboundtransfers.com or John at www.3vt.co.uk.  They are both experienced minibus operators and have good reputations.

By Road

Probably the best website for directions, prices, places to stop at is www.viamichelin.com. In summary, they reckon the journey from Calais is around 900km and takes about 9hrs; with toll and petrol costs amounting to £180.

When we have driven it, we have stayed at Troyes to break the journey, but we know plenty of people that drive straight through in one day with no problems.

By Train

The nearest train station is 30 minutes away from La Tania (Moutier Salin Brides L Bain (73)).  Eurostar operate a direct service to Moutier from London St Prancras for the ski season, but for the rest of the year, it'll mean a getting off at Paris Nord with Eurostar then taking a short trip on the Paris underground to Paris Austerlitz to get the direct connection to Moutier.

For more information try searching www.eurostar.com , www.sncf.com/indexe.htm and www.raileurope.co.uk.

By Coach

I'm afraid that I am short of information on this mode of transport for the moment. Check out www.bike-express.co.uk/med_main.html. The nearest drop off would be Lyon . Again, you could make use of the above train links, or try using the airport transfer guys. You could cycle the 200kms to La Tania! But for other coach routes you may find some decent connections with www.alpski-bus.com.
