Leaving Valmorel, the road descends through forested slopes and smaller alpine villages towards La Léchère before joining the main Tarentaise Valley near Moûtiers. From Albertville, the route continues alongside Lake Annecy before joining the motorway north towards Geneva. Drop-off is at Gare de Cornavin on Place de Cornavin.

Saturday departures can bring heavier traffic near Moûtiers and on the Lake Annecy and Geneva approach sections during peak winter weekends. The road from Valmorel itself is generally quieter.

Valmorel's centre is pedestrianised — your driver can reach the accommodation directly, but drop-off for properties within the pedestrian zone is at the edge. Confirm the full address when you book and we'll sort the logistics from there. Some chalets sit in the surrounding hamlets of Doucy, Nâves or Celliers — if yours is in one of these, mention it at booking as it's a different approach entirely.

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.
