The return from Méribel descends through the Allues Valley past chalet villages and mountain streams before rejoining the N90 at Moûtiers. From Albertville, the route continues through Ugine and alongside Lake Annecy before joining the motorway north towards Geneva. Drop-off is at Gare de Cornavin on Place de Cornavin.

Saturday departures from the Three Valleys generate heavy outbound traffic on the roads down to Moûtiers. The Méribel descent and the Lake Annecy approach can also slow during busy winter weekends.

Your driver meets you at your accommodation — hotel entrance, chalet door, or any point you agree on. Confirm the address when you book. Méribel runs up a single valley through several distinct villages: Méribel Village (1450), Méribel Centre (1600), and Méribel-Mottaret at the top (1750). One road connects them all, and our drivers use it throughout the season in all conditions. One thing worth knowing about chalets: names repeat across villages more often than you'd expect, and a navigation app pointed at "Méribel" can land you anywhere along that valley. If your host has sent you specific arrival instructions or an address, pass them on to us at booking — it's the easiest way to make sure we arrive at the right door.

Your driver drops you off directly in front of Gare de Cornavin on Place de Cornavin — the main entrance facing the square, steps from the ticket hall and all platforms. If you're catching a connecting train after your transfer from the Alps to Geneva, factor in a few minutes to reach your platform: Cornavin can get congested with ski luggage on Sunday evenings when everyone heads home from the mountains. Need to check a train time? The SBB app gives real-time departures and platform numbers — worth having on your phone if you're connecting onward to Lausanne, Bern, or Zurich.
