The European motorway network makes driving (via the Channel tunnel or ferry ) a very practical alternative. It is about an 8 hour drive from Calais or about 4 hours from Paris. The AA have an excellent European route planner service. If you bring your own car you will need a vignette to use the motorways (this replaces the toll system) and this can be obtained form the Swiss Tourist Office in London

By Air
Most people will arrive at Geneva aiport which is 76 miles away and will take around 90 minutes by car.

By Rail from the airport:
A reliable and (typically Swiss) punctual rail service is available from the airport to Villars. You will need to change at Bex for the mountain train. (Some services also require a change at Lausanne). The Journey takes about 2 hours 20 minutes. You will then need to take a taxi to the apartment. Train tickets may be ordered in advance on-line from SBB.

By Car From the airport:
We recommend Hertz Car Rental for a reliable service and they offer a 'Ski Pack' for winter rentals. The journey is fairly straightforward along the motorway past Lausanne amd Montreux then heading up into the mountains at Aigle through small picturesque mountain villages.
