Public transport or a prebooked transfer?
A Geneva transfer or a Sallanches railway arrival still needs one more location decision. Establish the residence, intended mountain departure and collection shop together. A local shuttle is useful only when its stop, running dates and final departure fit the actual plan, especially for accommodation away from the centre.
For scheduled transport, confirm the final stop, service dates and baggage rules with the operator. For a transfer, give the exact flight or train arrival, party size, bags and accommodation address. Compare a complete quoted journey with a complete public-transport itinerary; neither is automatically cheaper or quicker for every group.
Luggage, children and a late arrival
A station bearing the Megève name is not a train arrival at the resort residence.
Check whether the arrival point still leaves a walk, local bus or lift with the group’s luggage. Ask the accommodation how late check-in works and whether it can help with the last leg. If a connection is missed, a separately booked bus or train may not wait; read the ticket terms before choosing a tight interchange.
Plan the return before the first journey
Start with the flight check-in or mainline-train departure requirement, then work backwards through the actual local timetable. Do not simply reverse an optimistic outbound road estimate. Allow for winter conditions and any final equipment-return journey.
For Megève, the return-day collection plan should respect this local distinction: The train station carries the Megève name but remains in Sallanches.
