Why Lyon rather than Geneva
For the Tarentaise and the Oisans, Lyon is often quicker than Geneva despite the extra distance: motorway covers most of the route, while the drive from Geneva crosses the Genevois countryside and the A40 first. In February, when Geneva fares climb, the comparison is worth making before you book the flight rather than after.
