If you are driving it is 600 miles from Calais (Autoroute for 540 miles). Follow signs for Lyon then Grenoble then Briancon. If is snowing consider carrying on the motorway past Grenoble to the Frejus tunnel into Italy then turn off for Briancon at Oulx. This is only 30 kms of non motorway and recently built tunnels keep the snow off the road as you climb to Montgenevre.
If you intend to fly budget carriers Ryanair, Easyjet and Jet2 all fly to possible airports.
Turin - 1.25 hours transfer, Cuneo 1.5 hours, Milan - 3 hours, Nice - 4 hours, Marseille - 2 hours, Grenoble - 2 hours. Whilst Turin is the nearest (Ryanair or Easyjet) Nice is a good option in the winter as flights are cheap (not many think of going skiing via Nice !).
Briancon also has a main rail station - an overnight TGV sleeper from Paris arrives at 0830 or a daytime TGV via Vallence. The apartment is next to the lift and all the ammenities you need are within walking distance so you don't need a car.
You can book via SNCF from London through to Briancon on one ticket. The website is now very easy to use and available in English. Tickets are released 90 days in advance and if you book early this is one of the cheapest and easiest travel methods - the apartment is about 10 minutes walk from the rail station but there are always taxis outside the station.

If flying to Italy you can get a train from Turin to Oulx then a bus to Briancon. There is bus from Grenoble but from the other airports it is probably best to hire a car.
