Le Chable is small
village below Verbier in the Val de Bagnes, at the western
end of the Swiss Valais Alps. It has cafés, restaurants
and food shops. To get to Le Chable take the train from Geneva
airport to Martigny (direction Brig). In Martigny you change
train to Le Chable, and travel time is about 2.5 hours in total.

and timetable please see: www.sbb.ch
We are based for
the weekend at the Hotel de Gietroz, a very
pleasant and comfortable hotel in the centre of the village.
The hotel
is easy to find being a big white building on the main street,
just 300m from the train station towards the centre of the
village. You will be booked into the hotel for accommodation
only on the Thursday night, then for half board on
the Friday and Saturday nights. You may also book yourself
in for the
Sunday night if not flying back that evening.
