Journey from Geneva to Courchevel
Our transfer driver meets you in the Geneva airport arrivals area, in terminal 1 on the Swiss side.
From there, we follow the A41 towards Annecy, then drive close to Lac d'Annecy. This is a particularly picturesque part of the journey if you're travelling during the day, as the mountains begin to rise up behind the lake.
Through Albertville and up to resort
After Annecy, we pass the city of Albertville on the motorway. We then continue on the main road through the small town of Moûtiers, before starting the climb up the mountain. We pass Brides-les-Bains and wind our way up to Courchevel, reaching Courchevel 1650 and Courchevel 1850 first.
From the main road, it's about 30 minutes to Courchevel itself, so you can start to get excited for your ski holiday!
If you're flying into Geneva late, why not book yourself a Geneva airport hotel? Mountain Rescue can pick you up first thing the next morning instead.
At Geneva Airport
Geneva Airport has two terminals and we have designated meeting points at both. Meeting points are explained on our booking confirmation form for a nice and smooth meet and greet.
Plan your journey from Geneva to Courchevel
Like most ski resorts Courchevel is at high altitude, so keep a warm coat, hat and gloves close by for when you exit the vehicle.
Supermarkets on the way to Courchevel
