💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors know the altiport is not a full-service airport: confirm opening hours, fuel, and handling availability in advance, especially outside peak winter weeks, and book any helicopter transfer or taxi before arrival.
🚖 Getting There
Taxis and pre-booked private transfers are the most reliable way to reach Megève town and nearby ski areas. The nearest mainline rail station is Sallanches-Combloux-Megève, about 12 km away, with onward taxi or bus connections. From Geneva Airport (roughly 75–90 km) or Chambéry (about 100 km), allow extra time in winter for snow and traffic.
