Driving Directions from Geneva – Cointrin Airport to Chalet Les Trolles (Hamlet of Chalets Philippe)
There is only one way to leave the airport from the Swiss side. Follow signs for France (in green) and keep following them the whole way.
Special Note: You will pay two tolls on the way to Chamonix totaling nearly 6 Euros. Foreign currencies are not accepted as payment.
• Go through 4 sets of traffic lights. At the 5th set of lights, turn left
• Immediately get into the right hand lane and take a quick right turn at the signed marked France (this is the A40 motorway but is not marked as such).
• You will take this all the way in to the Chamonix Valley, so keep following the signs for France and then the signs for the Chamonix/Mont Blanc tunnel. After approx. 55 miles on the highway you will cross a large, very long bridge before passing through 2 tunnels. You are now entering the Chamonix Valley.
• Continue along this dual carriageway; go straight across the next roundabout (2nd exit goes to the Mont Blanc tunnel and Italy) following signs for Chamonix centre-ville.
• Continue straight across the next two roundabouts
• You will cross over a rail way line (with barriers) 200m after the last roundabout. After another 200m you will come to another roundabout, take the first exit right.
• Continue along this road for about 3 kilometers until you come to a funny shaped roundabout with a church on the left hand side. Take the 2nd exit, straight ahead.
• Continue along this road passing the golf course on your left and eventually crossing a railway line with barriers. Go up this bendy mountain road.
• After about 1 kilometer you will come to the 1st turning on your right sign posted Le Lavancher, take this right (if you miss this turn you will go through a long tunnel after which you will have to find a place to turnaround and come back).
• You will enter the village of Le Lavancher, continue up and through the village. After a final sharp left bend travel another 400 meters and you will come to the Hamlet of Chalets Philippe on your right, it has a sign. On your left you will see Hotel Jeu de Paume. Park just before the hamlet on the left.
