From Calais (approx 8hrs)

Do not go via Paris! Follow the route via Reims -  It is motorway all the way to Geneva and the A40 Motorway. As you leave the Ferry/Eurotunnel initially follow signs for Paris/Reims ...

• Follow A26 signed Reims
  
• Follow A26 (E15 then E17) past Reims to Troyes
• Follow A5 (E54 then E21) towards Dijon
• East of Dijon take A39 towards Bourg en Bresse (do NOT take E17 towards Macon)
• At Bourg en Bresse take E21 towards Geneva
• Near Geneva take A40 signed Chamonix, Turin, Mont Blanc tunnel
• Now follow the detailed local directions below marked *

From Geneva Airport onto A40 Motorway (approx 1hr)

Leave Geneva Airport & follow Motorway A40 signs for France following signs for Annecy, Annemasse, Chamonix, Grenoble, Milan.

* After approximately 20km leave the A40 Motorway at the first exit after the Toll (Sortie 15) - you will need approximately €1.90 for the toll (you can use your credit card or cash). The exit is approximately 1.5km after the toll, signposted for Vallees Verte/Thonon. At the end of the slip-road you will come to some traffic lights - turn left (N503). Stay in the right-hand lane and after  approximately 200m take the 2nd right turn signposted towards Taninges/Samoëns (D9). Follow the D9 for about 3km until you come to a roundabout where you turn right onto the D907 signposted for Samoëns. This road (D907) will then take you through St Jeoire, Mieussy, Tanninges and Verchaix & eventually all the way into Samoëns. See below for details to find Chalet Anpie.

Note: If you miss the turning from the A40 motorway - don't panic - continue until junction 18 and exit at Cluses. Samoëns will be signposted as you leave the motorway and you will join the D907 at either Taninges or Verchaix.

This is an interactive 'Google Map' showing the location of the Chalet and the village of Samoëns. There are markers on the map that help identify the way to the chalet. You will almost certainly arrive in the village along the D907 having passed through the village of Verchaix. Pass the Carrefour Supermarket on your right and after 500m look out for a small chapel with a copper steeple on the left and turn left before it - take this narrow winding road for about 750 metres (the road is windy, narrow and uphill as it rises towards the chalet). There are 7 chalets in total at Le Turche de Bérouze - the entrance to the parking is on your left after the tight right hand bend. As you enter the parking area Chalet Anpie is the 2nd building on the right. Entrance to the underground parking is between Chalet Anpie and Chalet Biollet (the 3rd chalet on the right). Parking is in the underground garage (number 10) or in the parking area outside. The entrance to the underground parking has an electric door that is operated by the front door key of the apartment. Park the car, unload the cases, get the wine out and get ready to start your holiday!
