Directions to La Belle Epoque Chamonix from Geneva Airport by road (Swiss Side) La Belle Epoque 255 Avenue Michel Croz 74400 Chamonix Mont-Blanc • This route avoids the centre of Geneva and is usually quicker though about 14km longer. The toll cost is the same as driving through Geneva city centre. The route is about 100km and should take no more than an hour. You will need around a total of €6 for the two péage (toll) points for a normal car . All major credit cards are accepted 24/7 but don’t get money from Geneva airport – Swiss Francs are no use! • To summarise, follow the signs to France and once in France, follow the signs to Chamonix Mont-Blanc. It couldn’t be easier but to be a bit more specific… • On leaving the airport join the main road, Route De Pré-Bois . Follow the green motorway signs to France along a straight road for about 1km. There are a couple of signs indicating France to the left, but ignore them and carry on straight until you arrive at a T-junction with traffic lights. • At the T-junction turn left onto the Route de Vernier . • Immediately move into the right lane (bus lane) and turn right down the slip road. • Drive about 150m down the slip road onto the motorway sign-posted France . • The E62-A1-E25 motorway takes you to the border (Bardonnex) with France. • Once in France follow the signs Chamonix Mont-Blanc (slip road on the right). • As a note, it takes about 20 minutes from Sallanches to Chamonix, just as you start to rise up the large viaduct into the Valley . Please ensure that you call us at this point, 20 minutes before your arrival. If you are with a transfer company, you may be the last to be dropped off so please check with your driver. • As you near Chamonix, pass straight over the first roundabout (Mont Blanc tunnel roundabout) and continue down the hill. Go straight through the next 2 roundabouts. • At the 3rd roundabout turn left (following a sign to Train Station “La Gare” ) past ‘L’autre Boulager’ bakery on left and Le Pitz Pizza Bar on the right. The road will bend round to the left and start rising up to the station. • La Belle Epoque is the last building on the left before the roundabout at the station. The entrance is to the left of a bar called Elevation 1904 . There is an allocated parking space in the garage under the building. If possible, pull in to the drive with the green gates, on the left immediately before a restaurant ‘Tigre Tigre’ where we can open the gate for you. • The door code is 3697 . The apartment is on the fourth floor immediately on the right as you exit the lift.
