After leaving Geneva Airport, the route usually reaches the French border within a few minutes. Border checks are uncommon, although controls may occasionally appear during busy weekends or holiday periods. On weekday evenings, traffic can build up around Geneva’s ring roads before the drive joins the A41 motorway towards Annecy. The route then continues along Lake Annecy, where drivers often choose the quieter side of the lake depending on traffic conditions. Beyond Ugine and Albertville — historically linked to the 1992 Winter Olympics — the road follows the N90 deeper into the Tarentaise Valley. Beyond Moûtiers, the road leaves the valley floor and begins the steady series of bends towards Courchevel’s different villages, from Le Praz and Village to the higher ski areas. The final section offers wide views across wooded slopes and chalet hamlets typical of the Three Valleys region.

Arrival at a busy hub like Geneva airport is seamless with our local team:

Arrivals Hall Meet & Greet: Your driver will be waiting in the arrivals hall (Terminal 1) holding a sign with your name. Note! Even if you are arriving on a domestic flight from within France (like Paris or Nice), always exit through the Swiss Sector (International side). This is where our drivers meet you. If you accidentally exit into the French sector, you will have to walk through the terminal to find us, which can take an extra 15 minutes.

90 Minutes Free Waiting: We know that baggage carousels or passport control at GVA can be slow. We include up to 90 minutes of free waiting time from the moment your flight lands. If you are delayed beyond this, our driver will still be there for you, though a standard hourly waiting fee may apply to cover the driver's time.

Pro-Tip: GVA offers excellent free Wi-Fi. Connect as soon as you land so you can stay in touch with your driver via WhatsApp or the contact details provided in your booking voucher.

Your driver drops you at your accommodation — hotel entrance or chalet door, wherever you need to be. The altitude matters more than you might think. Le Praz at 1300m is the first village on the way up — accessible, traditional, with narrow stone streets that feel more Savoyard than ski resort. La Tania sits just off the main road in a quiet pocket of trees. Courchevel Village (1550) is the family hub, home to the Aquamotion centre. Moriond (1650) has a relaxed feel and excellent value. Courchevel 1850 — now officially just "Courchevel" — is the summit of Alpine luxury: Palace hotels, designer boutiques, and the steepest road of the climb. The road to 1850 in winter is demanding — tight switchbacks, heavy snowfall, and peak-week traffic. Our drivers do this route daily throughout the season, on winter tyres, and know exactly when to leave to avoid the Saturday changeover congestion. A note on chalets: navigation in Courchevel can mislead even experienced drivers — the same chalet name can appear in multiple villages, and Google Maps sometimes routes to a hotel or shop instead. If you have access instructions from your chalet, share them with us at booking. It makes the arrival smoother for everyone.
