Chamonix is about 90 km from Geneva Airport, roughly 1 h 15 by road along the A40 “Autoroute Blanche”. Our Alpine base in Passy is on the way, about 25 minutes before Chamonix.
Shared shuttles run between Geneva and Chamonix all winter. A Luxotica transfer is different: your chauffeur meets you inside Geneva Airport, on the Swiss side or in the French sector, and drives you straight to your chalet or hotel, with no other drop-offs and a price fixed and agreed in advance.
A border, mountain roads, winter rules and ski bags turn the last leg of your trip into a project. These are the things that make it simple.
Your chauffeur tracks your flight and waits in the arrivals hall with a name board, so you can be in Chamonix the same day, whatever time you land.
From 1 November to 31 March, mountain roads in Savoie and Haute-Savoie come under the Loi Montagne winter-equipment rules. Our cars run on winter tyres, and the weather and the parking are our concern.
The Mercedes V-Class seats up to 7 passengers. Tell us how many pairs of skis or snowboards you are bringing and we confirm the right set-up before you travel.
The Chamonix valley stretches 20 km from Les Houches to Le Tour, with several separate ski areas. Tell us your address and we take you to the door.
The town centre, close to the Aiguille du Midi cable car and the Brévent gondola.
A chalet village just up the valley, at the foot of La Flégère.

The first village of the valley, with family-friendly slopes and views of Mont Blanc.

The drive from Geneva Airport to Chamonix is about 90 km and usually takes around 1 h 15 on a clear day. The route follows the A40 motorway past Cluses and Sallanches, then the N205 up the Arve valley to Chamonix.
On winter Saturdays and at the start of the school holidays, traffic on the A40 and the N205 can add 30 minutes or more.
Our advice: give us your flight number so we can adjust the pickup if you land early or late. Our guide what to do in Chamonix can help you plan your stay.
For the return, we suggest a pickup time based on your flight and the road conditions, so you reach Geneva with time to spare.
