This depends on which resort you are going to, the time of season that you are travelling and the number of stops that you plan to make. We estimate that it usually takes between 8-12 hours to reach most resorts from Calais, however some people choose to break up their journey with overnight stops. This added flexibility accounts for the popularity of a self-drive ski holiday. Please be advised that during peak holiday periods we recommend that you plan your journey to arrive either early morning or late evening as the traffic will be very heavy especially in the Tarentaise valley for resorts such as Val d'Isere, Tignes, Les Arcs, La Plagne, Ste Foy, La Rosiere, Les Menuires, Val Thorens, Meribel and Courchevel.
