<BR>Lynda,<BR><BR>I don't know your definition of &quot;best&quot; but your options are rent a car, train, bus, or taxi. E.g., there are 5 buses a day from Geneva airport to the Chamonix train station, about a 2 hour trip. To Argentiere it is a 15 minute train hop. The same for returning to Geneva. <BR><BR>From Geneva airport to the centre of the city is a short ride on city bus #10. Geneva is a relatively small city -- you could even walk downtown from the airport if you had no luggage. <BR><BR>John Bermont<BR>www.enjoy-europe.com

Thanks for your reply, but in fact my definition of 'best' way of going from point A to point B is 'short and easy'<BR>I checked the train schedule and the train ride from Argentiere to Geneva downtown is about 3 hours and 15 minutes with 2 changes. Not so good.<BR>Also, the recommendation of taking the train from Argentiere to Chamonix, then take a bus to Geneva airport, and then get in another bus downtown does not seem any less painful or any faster.<BR><BR>I was wondering if there would be a door to door shuttle that I could take from Argentiere to Geneva downtown.<BR>Does anyone know?

Internetconnect,<BR><BR>I replied to your bus question on the other thread already. Of course you can hire a taxi in Chamonix to take you to Geneva, but this is bound to be expensive (probably about 100-150 EUR)...<BR><BR>A quick search on the web brought up these companies:<BR>www.chamonix-taxi.com<BR>http://www.upstairs.fr/taxi.chamonix/<BR>http://www.taxi-buton.com/<BR><BR>Hope this helps,<BR>Andre<BR>
