Ski transfers from Geneva Airport

Meeting your driver at Geneva

Geneva airport has two exits: the Swiss sector, which handles almost every flight, and the French sector, connected to Ferney-Voltaire. Your driver waits in arrivals with your name, on the side stated in your confirmation. If your flight is diverted or badly delayed, they know before you do: the flight is tracked and waiting time is included.

The Saturday problem, and how to avoid it

Geneva funnels an entire season through one morning a week: Saturday. The two roads that matter — the A40 towards Chamonix and the Tarentaise towards Moûtiers — slow badly, and you should allow 45 minutes to an hour more than the times below. A midweek arrival saves that hour in each direction, and usually saves money on the fare too.

What Geneva serves best

• The Chablais and the Portes du Soleil: Les Gets, Morzine, Avoriaz, Châtel — 1 h 15 to 1 h 45.
• The Grand Massif: Samoëns, Les Carroz, Flaine — 1 h 10 to 1 h 30.
• The Mont Blanc valley: Saint-Gervais, Megève, Chamonix, Argentière — 1 h 15 to 1 h 40.
• The Aravis: La Clusaz and Le Grand-Bornand, a little over an hour.
• The Tarentaise and the Three Valleys, further out: 2 h 25 to 3 h 15 depending on the resort.

Winter driving out of Geneva

The roads leaving Geneva climb quickly. Winter tyres and chains are legally required in Savoie and Haute-Savoie from 1 November to 31 March, and our vehicles carry both — a real difference from a hire car picked up on arrival, which is often shod for the motorway rather than for the col.
