As title really. WHat is the best way from Les Arcs to Martigny, and then on to Zurich on public transport. The DB website is telling me a 12 hour, 6 change trainride is best, however Martigny - Zurich is a breezy 3 hour train, so there must be a way to get from Les Arcs to Martigny in less than 9 hours....
And yes, I appreciate there is a big mountain in the way
Ker-bump? Anyone?
To be fair, unless you drive it then no. 9 hours is about right.
Do you have to go to Martigny ? Without sounding condescending the "crow flies" distance looks short but due to layout of mountains it's a long way round especially on public transport.
I'll have a quick look for you but you might be better getting a transfer connection to say Geneva Airport (it has a train station too) then it's an hour to Martigny if you have to go there or a 3hr ish train ride direct to Zurich
LA to GVA is a bit of a pain in the arse too unless you get the bus. Not cheap though.
Cheers guys. Bus to Geneva and then on to Zurich might be a decent option. It feels like going over to Aosta and then over the San Bernadino or through the tunnel would be a quick way, but it seems not.
I've always got the Altibus from Geneva to Tignes.
Last year I think it was about 70 euro for a single journey. About 4 buses run each day and direct from Bourg St Maurice to Geneva
