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.
Leaving Geneva Cornavin, the transfer navigates through the city centre before joining the A41 motorway south towards Annecy. The route follows the western shore of Lake Annecy — or the eastern side depending on traffic — before continuing through Faverges, Ugine, and Albertville. From Albertville, the road joins the N90 into the Tarentaise Valley.
After Moûtiers, the road climbs gently through forested slopes and traditional Savoy villages before reaching Brides-les-Bains, known for its thermal spa atmosphere and direct lift connection to the Three Valleys.
Brides-les-Bains connects to Méribel by the Olympic gondola — built for the 1992 Games, around 25 minutes to the top. It runs during ski season and makes Brides a genuine base for skiers who want lower accommodation costs and don't mind the morning commute up. The town is easy to navigate and sits low enough that winter road conditions are rarely a factor. We drop off at your hotel or apartment entrance. One practical note: the gondola has fixed operating hours and stops in the evening. If you're arriving late and planning to head up to Méribel the same night, check the last departure before you travel — it's the kind of detail that's easy to miss when you're planning from home.
