Flying From Further Afield

If Turin doesn’t work from your destination then you could also consider Grenoble or Lyon. For international flights, you may even need to fly to Paris and take the train down to Briancon. There’s lots of helpful information here: Getting there.

From Grenoble you can book onto a Ben’s Bus to take you directly to Serre Chevalier. Pre-booking is essential – I would urge you to do it as soon as you book your flights because they do get booked up: Transfers from Geneva, Grenoble & Lyon Airports to Ski Resorts fr £27 (bensbus.co.uk). On days that they aren’t going to Serre Chevalier it is possible to Bourg d’Oisans and then take a a public bus or taxi from there to Serre Chevalier.

Train

If you want a more relaxing journey, consider taking the train to Briancon, it’s then a short bus or taxi ride to Mont Thabor.

Need convincing: Why Go Train

Driving

There are several free car parks in Serre Chevalier, including one just opposite the Hotel: Parking Guisane, 1725 Route de Briançon, 05240 La Salle-les-Alpes.

Heads Up! If there is a big snow fall you will be expected to move your car either early in the morning or in the evening to allow for the snow clearing.

You can drive up to the hotel to drop off your bags, and they will also be able to point you in the direction of the car park.

Entry Requirements

There are big changes coming with the introduction of the ETIAS visa for entry to the Schengen Area. The ETIAS is a visitor visa (similar to the American ESTA and the Canadian eTA).

The application system hasn’t opened yet, and the roll out of this has been delayed several times, but you can find out everything that you need to know for now here: ETIAS News & Information For Visitors Coming To Europe.

While we’re still waiting for the full roll out of the delayed ETIAS visa, the new EU Entry/Exit System (EES) is slowly being rolled out at EU airports from October 2025 onwards. This means that on arrival to Italy, in addition to the personal information in your passport, you may be required to give biometric data, including facial image and/or fingerprints and information about your stay.

You can find more information on the official website here: EES – What is the EES?

This isn’t a huge change but may mean longer waits at immigration when you arrive in Italy. As always, we’ll include the hotel addresses in the transfer/arrival email that we send out a week before your course starts. We also recommend having a copy of your Nonstop invoice to hand in case you are asked for proof of what you are doing in Italy.

Please let us know your travel plans once you have booked bis our Travel Survey.
