Flying

It’s a very short flight (1 hr 15min — 1 hr 25min) from the UK to Geneva. Plenty of airlines ply this route, many of them from the small and efficient London City Airport.
Once at Geneva, you are just 100 km from the chalet, via (in approx­i­mate order of conve­nience and expense) hire car, trans­fer, bus, or rail. More about flying

Driving

The route from Calais takes approx­i­mately eight hours and has many advan­tages — cheaper, less likely to be disrupted, no concerns about luggage. More on our Driving page

Train

If you prefer not to fly, it’s possi­ble to go via the Eurostar to Chamonix from London. Although this is a long journey, it’s very well sched­uled and runs overnight, so you can get the train from London or Ashford after work, change in the evening in Paris and then go by sleeper. Snowcar­bon is an excel­lent site with lots of good infor­ma­tion on how to do this.
