If you land in Geneva, you will probably want to rent a car, although there is a bus from Geneva that goes through the Mt. Blanc tunnel. The train from Geneva goes east and crosses the Alps above Milano. It is easy to take the train from Milano and Torino to Nus or Aosta where you can rent a car. You can also rent a car athe Italian airports and drive to Nus on the autostrada It is very convienient to have a car and it is cheaper to rent one in Geneva rather than Italy. But the Italians don’t like to see Swiss plates. From Geneva, it is a nice drive through a lovely valley, past Chamonix, under Mont Blanc through a 13 kilometer tunnel which exits into the Aosta Valley. There is a cost (about 20 euros)to drive through the tunnel. Once you have reached Nus in the Valley of Aosta (Valle d’Aosta) you are almost there. Turn toward the mountains north of you at the only intersection in the middle of Nus up the hill to Saint Barthelemy. Drive up the hill about 2.5 kilometers until you find a retaining wall on a sharp curve that has seepage comming through it.
