By plane: Geneva Airport is 1 hour drive from les Houches. The simplest and comfortable way is to use a group 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 as well. An overview of shuttle service providers can be found here
