Travel & Transport to & from 4 day Alpine Walking Weekends

As long-time weekend and short break specialists, everything about our format is geared towards providing hassle-free holidays which maximise your time spent enjoying the activities you love.

Helping to make things as easy as possible for your travel to and from your break with us is an important part of this.

Flights are the one major element of your holiday which isn’t arranged by Walk Weekender; once you’ve booked onto one of our breaks you will need to book your own flights (or make other travel arrangements out to France) independently.

This means you can choose to travel from a range of airports – or take the self-drive or train route – to our meeting point at Geneva airport. From that point onwards, all your transport to and from our walking base, and on tour transfers further afield for custom breaks, is covered by us as part of your package.

Fly out on Thursday, back on Monday for our Walking Breaks

Our standard 4 day Walking Weekends from Thursday evening to Monday evening, giving 4 fantastic days of hiking. These breaks run throughout the summer on fixed dates.

Airport transfers on arrival (Thursday) run from Geneva airport at 18:00 and 22:00.

On departure (Monday) transfers run back to Geneva leaving the Aravis at 13:00 (for flights departing 16:00 or later) and 16:00 for (flights departing 19:00 or later).

Finding the Best Flight Options for your Walking Short Break

One of the best starting point for finding flights is the website www.skyscanner.net – you can use this to search for flights from anywhere in the UK to a specific airport.

There are lots of flight options into Geneva throughout the summer, from all the major UK airports, mostly with Easyjet plus a few options from BA, Swiss and FlyBE.

Flights & Travel for Custom Walking Holidays

Our Custom Walking Tours for Clubs and Groups are put together on a case-by-case basis, with an individually tailored itinerary, so for these breaks it’s always possible to have things start / finish from different airports to match more convenient flights.

There are lots of different possibilities on this front… if you have a trip for a group of 6 or more in mind, the best bet is to contact us with details of your group size, possible dates and preferred walking locations, and we can then let you have full details on travel options.

Other Airports, Self-Drive & Train Travel Options

For any custom break, it’s possible to arrange travel into different airports or by a different method to those outlined on the package details page.

Flights into Lyon or Grenoble airport, or Eurotunnel and TGV train travel via Paris to Annecy are viable options for Alps trips. Flights into Toulon (small selection of flights with FlyBe) or Nice (larger selection of flights – but longer airport transfer) airports are possible options for Provence or Côte d’Azur trips.

For any of our holidays you could also self-drive direct to your base, making it possible to combine a Walk Weekender break with a longer holiday in France. We can provide full route details, driving directions etc. as needed.

Airport / station transfers from non-standard locations, or self-driving, may change the price of a break… if an alternative travel option looks possible for you, just contact us to discuss how this would work with trip timings and package pricing.
