Directions to key pick up point

From Geneva airport

Leave the airport and follow signs for "France". (Note: check that your vehicle is equipped with a Swiss "vignette" which allows you access to their motorway network. The "vignette" is a small square sticker on the front windscreen with the year date and a motorway sign. Most hire cars have them but if they don't, then be advised that the few miles you will do leaving their airport may cost you around 25 Euros unless you find an alternative route out of Switzerland into France).

It is also worth keeping your passports within reach for border control and there are a number of small motorway tolls to pay in France (approx 6 Euros worth), so keep some change or a VISA card handy.

Follow signs for "Italy, Turin, Milano, Chamonix Mont Blanc" on the "Autoroute Blanche". Keep following signs for "Chamonix" until you see signs for "St Gervais-Les-Bains".

Detour via Carrefour or Intermarche hypermarkets

Though St Gervais town has 3 supermarkets, they are not as big as the hypermarkets, so you may wish to stop at one of these en-route from Geneva to stock up. For the Carrefour hypermarket, come off the motorway at the "Sallanches" exit Junction 20, and Carrefour is one of the first buildings on the right. Once finished there, continue on in the same direction that you came to Carrefour on (i.e. it would still be on your right) and follow this straight road, through "Sallanches" town centre, following signs for "St Gervais" and "Le Fayet". You will then also pass Intermarche on your left which is another large supermarket and Quechua which is a large sports shop - ideal for those last minute holiday essentials.

Direct route from A40 motorway

A40 - Exit Junction 21 indicated St Gervais. From the exit slip road take the road to the right . You will come to a roundabout which allows you to turn right into the supermarket/petrol station complex. (The supermarket Intermarche is an ideal supermarket in which to stock up before doing the final few miles). Go straight over this roundabout which is shortly followed by another. Take the exit to the left, Quechua sports shop is on your left hand side. Pass through “St Gervais Le Fayet”. Please note “St Gervais Le Fayet” is at the foot of the mountain and is not "St Gervais" itself. At the start of Le Fayet is a roundabout with a display of crystals in the centre, go straight on at this round about. A little further on you will see the “Mont Blanc tramway terminus” shortly followed by the “Parc Thermal” on the right. At the next roundabout turn right following signs for “St Gervais" road towards "St Gervais", passing “L’Abbaye” and “Les Plagnes”. It is about 2 miles from "St Gervais Le Fayet" to "St Gervais". A old fashion merry-go-round is at the start of the town on your left.
