That's a 170km drive... Acording to iti.fr, it would take 2h15 by car (you can't drive that fast on some of the narrow moutain roads)...

From the website of the resort (www.lesarcs.com), they point you to http://www.alpski-bus.com/en/home_en.asp...
It would take about 3h30 by bus...

Hope this helps,
JF

You should be able to get to the nearest real station of Bourg Saint Maurice from Geneva. However, I was not impressed with the train situation in Switz and found it almost cheaper to rent a car. For example, it was around $70 Swiss Francs for RT 2nd class train between Geneva and Leysin (about 60 miles from Geneva). Admittedly I this was at the last minute and you can get better deals with a pass.
