Here’s a lesson I recently learned the hard way following an eventful trip to the Alps – never take anything for granted when it comes to your travel insurance. Let me explain… I’d like to assume that at this particular point in time there aren’t many out there that would dare heading away – especially on a sporty break – without insurance. In fact, I’d even go so far as to say I have confidence that most will take out…
The way in which some people go on and on…and on…about booking ski resort transfers from Geneva airport, you’d think it would take a PhD in advanced logistical science to get the family from A to B safely, quickly and cheaply. Everywhere you look there are thousands of tips and guidelines as to what travelers must and must not do when looking at getting themselves and their belongings to the final destination – little wonder why some end up bewilderingly…
You’d think in this day and age that the concept of an unlicensed or downright illegal Geneva Airport transfer service would be outdated and void, but you’d be wrong. Not that it is just Geneva Airport that suffers from the problem, as travel to any major transport and transfer hub from London to Hong Kong and you’ll see dozens, maybe even hundreds of illegitimate transport providers doing what they can to hoodwink and swindle holidaymakers by the thousand. The trouble…
Let’s face it, there comes a time in every journey with the family when conversation dries up, initial excitement begins to subside and everyone basically shares the same prayer to get to the resort and get on the slopes as fast as possible. It would also probably be fair to say that this stage usually kicks in close to the time of arrival at Geneva Airport, which can then make the on-going resort transfer quite the ordeal – particularly where…
What the vast majority of families taking their little ones away on holiday for the first, sometimes the twelfth time fail to realise is that it isn’t the bulk of the journey that’s the killer, but rather the resort transfers. Indeed, getting to Geneva airport is only half of the battle…maybe less. There are however a few golden rules for keeping the peace, with one in particular guaranteed to breed family harmony and fewer tantrums. Once kids get past a…
Travellers heading for a ski holiday to the French Alps often think that once their flights are taken care of, the bulk of their travel expenses are taken care of. However, there are dozens of instances every day when this proves not to be the case at all for one simple reason – they haven’t factored in their resort transfers upon arrival at Geneva Airport…or Chambery, Lyon, Grenoble, Turin or anywhere else, for that matter. The trouble is, some assume…
Geneva airport is one of the most well-connected and serviced in the world by way of transfers to and from dozens of ski resorts across the French Alps, though thousands of travellers each and every year continue to insist on crowding the narrow roads with their own vehicles. Of course, the appeal of stepping off the plane at the airport and immediately taking ownership of a rental car seems obvious, but in these kinds of environments there are so many…
There was a time in the not so distant past when the idea of Geneva Airport resort transfer service conjured up images of nothing more than clapped out, cold, worn and uncomfortable buses that really should have been retired decades ago. In fact, some would argue that in a historical sense, the resort transfers to their final French Alps destinations were perhaps the most unpleasant experiences of the trip as a whole. Mercifully, times have changed to say the least….
Snowboarding and skiing may share the same basic gravity-based movement principle, but when it comes to the skills needed to take part, the two are different as chalk and cheese. It never fails to surprise and indeed amuse as to how many well-versed skiers strap on a board for the first time and expect to instantly be the next Drew Tabke, only to find it near impossible to travel a yard without bruising their behind. This should come as comfort…
There is little in the world more fun than hurtling down a mountainside at breakneck speed, but it really doesn’t take a genius to know that there are safer pursuits in life. Skiing doesn’t have to be inherently dangerous, but there are numerous risks attached to the sport that must be understood and kept in mind by any rational person looking to take part. So keep reading if you want to stay safe, with our 10 essential ski safety tips….
