Distance is only part of the decision. Compare the full journey to your accommodation: transfer or train times, the last connection on your arrival day, and whether the resort is car-free. Each resort page has the airport table, rail and bus options and transfer links.
Transfers or public transport?
A shared or private transfer goes to your door, which matters with ski bags and children. Trains and coaches can cost less but may need a change and a final bus. Compare both for your flight time and group size.
