Information on transit through Switzerland can be found here.
Once you have landed, you can reach the school using a shuttle service, the regular bus service or by train.
Shuttle service
The simplest way is to use a shuttle service (approximately 40 euros up to the school, book at least three days in advance). If you already have your return date, we would recommend to book a return trip.
We recommend travel with Mountain Drop-Offs. Use promo code EDP2014 for Price discounts.
Other shuttle companies are also available, Consult the list of companies
Beware: we do not recommend the Alpybus nor Cham'Express companies (they do not reach the school).
Regular bus service
There is also a regular bus service between Geneva and Les Houches (only once or twice a day). One should then take a taxi for the last 5 kms from the Les Houches village to the school (the total cost is similar to that of the limousine).
By road
You can park your car at l'Ecole de Physique des Houches but do not forget to register your vehicle at the reception.
If you are arriving by e-vehicle, you can charge your vehicle in les Houches village, Parking du Freney, 31 Clos des Lilas 74310 Les Houches.
