The nearest international airports are Geneva (GVA) and Lyon (LYS). Another good option is Paris (CDG).

For everyone arriving by public transit, the objective is Chambéry-Challes-les-eaux train station, which is about 25 km from Yenne. 

The ideal time of arrival in Chambéry is 4:30pm - 5:00pm. A bus will collect delegates from Chambéry-Challes-les-eaus train station to the venue. The bus time will be adjusted to best fit delegates arrival time. If you arrive in Clos des Capucins by your own means, check-in will open at 4:00pm (nothing will be possible before that).
