Number of terminals: 2 - Charter (Winter Only) & Main.
#Grenoble airport arrivals departures free
The Main terminal is a 5 minute walk away so not worth chancing if your flight or transfer are about to depart! On your way home, once you go through passport control in Charter, you will be free to roam the tax free shopping and food outlets until your flight is called. Bizarrely it can be much easier to find your way onto the French motorway from the Swiss side of the airport, so you should bear this in mind when hiring a car.Īlthough Geneva has 2 terminals - Charter and Main - the Charter terminal is only really used during winter and has limited facilities there is a snack bar and restaurant but no money-changing facilities. It is worth noting that Geneva Airport is split in two - with French and Swiss sides. Geneva has a greater number of flights to/from more destinations so you should consider the best option, based on flight price, availability and transfer ease (more frequent services and pricing). If you do end up there, you'll need to self-drive the rest of the way (and don't overlook some of the mountain-passes shown on apps/route-planners are shut in winter as they're snowed up, or will be closed due to snow!).
If you're wondering why we haven't covered Turin, Milan, or any other airports, it's because they just aren't recommended for flying to the French ski resorts. One workaround to transfer issues is car hire, if you're comfortable driving in inclement conditions, in winter at least. Other airports such as Lyon, Grenoble and Chambery are all options but as we'll mention below, these other airports are fraught with transfer complications and costs which are much more easily avoided if you opt for Geneva. Geneva is one of the busiest International airports giving good access to most of the nearby ski resorts and summer destinations, year round, with the most options for transfers. When deciding which airport to fly to for Val d'Isere, in this instance we have only one main recommendation: Geneva airport.
