The Journey from Geneva to Sainte Foy

Journey Distance

165 km

Estimated Travel Time

2h 35m

One of our drivers will meet you from your flight at Geneva Airport. If you're landing in terminal 1, follow the signs to the Swiss side, where we have a designated meeting point. It's the same for terminal 2.

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, since the mountains rise up behind the lake.

Through Albertville and into the Tarentaise

After Annecy, we pass Albertville on the motorway, then the small towns of Moûtiers and Aime. From there, we continue through Bourg Saint Maurice on the D1090.

Driving through Séez, a small town close to La Rosière, we head towards Tignes and Val d'Isère. About 8km further, we reach the village of Sainte Foy Tarentaise.

From there, we turn off onto a steep, tree-lined road. This brings us out at the ski station itself.

Plan your journey from Geneva airport to Sainte Foy

If travelling on a Saturday, we recommend landing in Geneva early in the morning. This helps you avoid the traffic build-up that usually happens later in the day.

Return journey from Sainte Foy to Geneva airport

We'll advise your transfer time in advance, typically around 4 hours 30 minutes before your flight. This can change if weather or traffic is expected.

When you book, we send an estimated pick-up time for the return journey. This is confirmed by email and text at 4pm the day before you travel.

Our Alps office is available 24/7 if you'd like to discuss anything. Our objective is always to get you and your group to the airport in good time.
