La Toussuire
La Toussuire is a family resort in Les Sybelles, one of the largest ski areas in France, linking several Maurienne resorts including Le Corbier and Saint-Sorlin-d'Arves. It is known for its open slopes and good value. A private transfer from Geneva Airport avoids the train to Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne and the bus climb, and takes you straight to your residence.

Chauffeur's tipThe climb from Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne is short but steep; in snowy conditions it is wise to plan your return pick-up with a little extra margin.
From Geneva Airport to La Toussuire
The chauffeur crosses into France just south of Geneva and takes the A41 past Annecy to Chambéry, then the A43 into the Maurienne valley. You leave the motorway at Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne, the main town of the valley.
From Saint-Jean, a mountain road climbs through hairpins and villages such as Fontcouverte to La Toussuire. The trip takes around 2 h in normal traffic. Snow chains may be fitted for the final section after a heavy snowfall, which your chauffeur handles.

The resort is part of Les Sybelles, which connects it with Le Corbier, Saint-Jean-d'Arves, Saint-Sorlin-d'Arves and other villages, giving a large ski area from a single base. The village has a pleasant open setting on a sunny plateau, with views towards the Aiguilles d'Arves.
