Leaving Avoriaz, the road descends from the pedestrian resort through a series of sharp bends above Morzine before reaching the lower valley. From Morzine, the route continues through Taninges and joins the A40 motorway at Cluses, following the Arve Valley back towards Geneva. The border crossing into Switzerland is usually straightforward, though occasional controls can appear on busy winter weekends.

Saturday morning departures from Avoriaz and Morzine can create heavy traffic on the descent and near Cluses. Any snowfall on the upper mountain road above Morzine can slow the start of the journey considerably.

Avoriaz is fully car-free — no vehicles enter the village itself. Your driver drops you off at the resort's welcome terminal at the entrance, where an unloading dock allows luggage to be offloaded. From there, horse-drawn sleighs and snow scooters collect guests and luggage for the final stretch to your accommodation. The terminal is staffed 24 hours a day throughout the season. Guests staying at Résidence Pierre & Vacances Premium L'Amara can be driven directly to the building's own underground car park. If you're staying there, let us know at booking.

We calculate your pickup time. Geneva Airport operates on a night curfew — the terminal closes late evening and doesn't reopen until early morning. We factor all of this in when we schedule your transfer to Geneva Airport: terminal operating hours, check-in deadlines, and expected traffic on your route. In peak ski season, we often recommend departing 2–3 hours earlier than you might expect. Mountain traffic on busy Saturdays can add significant time to the journey. You may end up waiting longer at the airport — but that's a much better outcome than missing your flight. You can set your own preferred departure time, but we'll always flag if we think it carries a risk. Your driver drops you off at Terminal 1, Departures level — the standard drop-off point for all flights from GVA.
