Perhaps you’re thinking of flying to France, Italy, Switzerland or Austria. Local trains often prove a cheaper and more convenient way to get to your resort than a taxi transfer. Connections from some airports are particularly easy as you’ll find the station at the airport for example Geneva, Lyon Saint Exupery and Zurich.
