Cornavin is a busy city-centre station with no long-term stopping zones at the main entrance — so pickup works slightly differently here than at the airport. Your driver will contact you directly via WhatsApp or phone as your train approaches, and you'll agree on a meeting point together — typically the main station exit on Place de Cornavin, or another spot that works given current traffic. We track your train in real time, so we know if you're running late before you do. Free waiting time is 20 minutes from the scheduled arrival of your train. If your train is delayed, no problem — we adjust automatically. For longer disruptions, just message us and we'll find the best way forward. One tip: when you step off the train, take your time — Cornavin can get chaotic with ski luggage in peak season. Your driver won't rush you.
From Geneva Cornavin, the journey heads through the city before joining the motorway southbound towards Annecy. Depending on traffic levels, the driver may avoid busier lakeside sections before continuing through the lower valleys around Ugine and Albertville. From there, the N90 becomes the main route into the Tarentaise ski region.
Beyond Tignes, the road continues higher into the mountains towards Val d'Isère, following one of the highest major resort roads in the French Alps. The landscape becomes increasingly open and alpine near the resort, particularly during the final kilometres above the tree line.
Val d'Isère sits at the end of the Tarentaise valley at 1850 m. In winter the road stops here — the Col de l'Iseran closes with the first heavy snowfall and doesn't reopen until summer. During ski season there's nowhere further to go, which shapes the whole character of the place: everyone arriving is here to ski, not passing through. The resort has two distinct entry points. La Daille sits at the valley entrance — lower, quieter, with its own gondola up to the main ski area. The main village is further along: the centre, the shops, the après, the bulk of the hotels and chalets spread across the hillside. No access restrictions and no one-way complications. After heavy snowfall the roads slow down, and a handful of chalets sit on steep or narrow tracks that need a careful approach. Our drivers know the resort well — but if your chalet has sent you arrival instructions, share them. In a resort this popular and this spread out, a precise address is always worth having.
