TRAVELLING TO ITALY BY PLANE, CAR, COACH OR RAIL

Travel to the Resort of Champoluc

Our prices do not include travel, allowing you to arrange your trip to suit your own particular requirements. All of our packages do however include return airport transfers on the continent.

Flying to Champoluc

You can arrive on any day of the week at any time – return transfers from all of the airports are listed below included in our prices. Please call us to reserve the hotel of your choice prior to booking your flights. We will then ask you to confirm your flight details to us on your booking form so that we can arrange transfers.

Please note that we are very happy for you to fly in to one airport and to depart from a different airport.

We offer the transfers as ‘private transfers’ which means that we never collect clients from more than one flight. If there are other Ski 2 guests arriving / departing on the same flight as you, you might share the transfer, but in reality many of our clients travel in their own transfer vehicle. These are normally liveried Ski 2 vehicles (estate cars or minibuses), driven by our own staff, but sometimes, when we don’t have one of our own vehicles available, we use local taxi companies. Either way you will be met as you come in to the Arrivals Hall and escorted to your transfer vehicle for a swift and easy transfer directly to your hotel.

  • Client Comments

    No difficulty in making contact, on time pick up, comfortable transport, helpful staff/driver. The welcome pack was a nice touch and made us feel our custom was appreciated.

    – Mrs B. (Jan 2014)

    Prompt, comfortable and very flexible to meet our bespoke transfer requests.

    – Mrs I (Jan 2014)

    As far as I am aware no other ski company offers transfers from so many different transfers at any time of day included in the cost of your holiday. Some of our group arrived on a different flight but that was no problem and no extra charge. First class service.

    – Mr and Mrs B (Dec 2013)

    A real plus at start and end of holiday. No waiting for big coaches and the next flight!

    – Mr W (Dec 2013)

    Always great to catch up on the resort snow details etc. Ewan was wait on arrival and our journey was smooth (inc treats!) Our departure was brought forward because of heavy snow and a call from the office reassured us. The driver carried our bags through the snow to the car (well done) We arrived with plenty of time to sort out the confusion which is Turin airport!!!

    – Mrs N (Feb 2014)

    Fantastic transfer, loved the added extras!

    – Mr and Mrs A (Feb 2014)

The so called ‘low cost’ airlines are constantly changing and adding routes so it is worth checking with your local airport as to whether they fly to any of the following airports. Some airlines only fly on certain days of the week and others have just one flight a day.

Please consider the great value of our ski hire and storage facility in Champoluc when checking the costs of transporting your own equipment on flights.

Destination airports are listed below (click on the ‘+’ sign to the right of each airport to expand the page to see all of the airlines that serve that airport).

Please Note: You might also like to use the Skyscanner search screen to the right of this page. This useful site searches a good number of airline websites to find the best prices for your chosen travel dates.

  • Our Transfer Policy

    We arrange transfers to collect you from and return you to your chosen airport. In respect of your flights back to the UK, we allow a reasonable time to drive you from resort to your departure airport (depending on our assessment of traffic and weather conditions) and allowing you 2 hours to check-in. In the event that circumstances beyond our control (unforeseen poor traffic, or a very slow journey due to very poor weather or snow) mean that you miss your flight, we accept no responsibility for booking or paying for replacement flights. We will of course offer reasonable support and advice to help you facilitate your journey home if we are able to.

Protecting the cost of your holiday

As an ABTA (www.abta.com) member, we offer all our clients the full financial protection of a bond which, in the event of our collapse, allows ABTA to offer you a refund on the monies you have paid to us (or to allow you to continue your holiday if you are away with us at that time). We do not hold an ATOL licence as we do not include flights in our holiday packages, but our ABTA bond covers all other aspects of your holiday.

Help protect the environment

To reduce the impact on the environment, you can now buy an “offset” from a company called Climate Care (01865 207 000 or www.climatecare.org) once you have booked your flights. The environmental cost of a return flight from London to Geneva for instance, in Economy Class, is £5. The cash is used to fund sustainable energy. Visit their website for more information.

  • Travelling to Champoluc by car

    Self-drive is an increasingly popular option for getting to Champoluc, and easier than many would imagine. Cross the channel using Eurotunnel or ferry and Champoluc is an easy twelve hour drive from the French channel ports. The majority of the route is motorway and only the last couple of hours of driving is in the mountain environment. You may wish to ease the journey by stopping en route in France. We offer a discount on our usual prices for those wishing to self-drive, and you can then choose to take the ferry or Eurotunnel to reach the French ports. We normally ask that you arrive in resort on Sunday to stay for 7 nights, departing resort on the following Sunday. If this doesn’t suit, then we would be pleased to look at other options for you. Please call 01962 713330.

    • Route Information

This can be done easily in 10 hours from Calais, via the outskirts of Geneva, and is pretty straight forward and mostly on motorway. Tolls are approx.

  • Travelling to Champoluc by coach

    A few of our regular groups prefer the hassle-free option of coach travel, which can be ‘door to door’ for groups. The journey from Calais to resort takes under 13 hours, departing the UK on a mid-evening ferry and arriving in Champoluc on Sunday lunchtime. After six full days skiing (Monday to Saturday) you will depart resort after dinner on Saturday to catch an early morning ferry into the UK on Sunday. All coaches are fitted with seat belts throughout, reclining seats, hot and cold drinks machine, and toilet/washroom. There will be two drivers onboard who will remain in resort with you for the duration of your holiday. We encourage the drivers to join in with evening activities and skiing with our clients. Most of the coaches have 49 seats, but 72/74 seat vehicles are available on request for larger groups. Please note that we only offer the option of coach travel for those travelling as a large group. This travel option is not available to individuals – sorry! If you have any further queries that we haven’t already answered, please email us at info@ski-2.com.
