The journey

From Geneva Airport to Avoriaz

The route follows the A40 to Cluses, then the D902 through Taninges and Les Gets to Morzine. From there two accesses exist: the Prodains road, which reaches the cable car linking Avoriaz in four minutes, and the high road that climbs directly to the resort car parks through six kilometres of hairpins.

Allow 1h40 in normal conditions. Avoriaz being entirely pedestrian, drop-off is either at Les Prodains or at the entrance car parks, where horse-drawn sleighs take over towards the residences. Tell us your accommodation when you book so the driver picks the right access.

Car-free: getting the drop point right

Avoriaz has no traffic at all. Depending on your residence and arrival time, the best drop is either the Prodains cable car or the high car parks. We settle this with you at booking so you are not carrying skis further than necessary.

1,800 metres and six kilometres of hairpins

The Avoriaz road is one of the most demanding winter accesses in Haute-Savoie. Winter tyres compliant with the French Loi Montagne II, chains carried and fitted whenever conditions require, at no extra cost.

Freestyle and bulky kit

Avoriaz holds the snowparks of the Portes du Soleil and draws a strong freestyle and freeride crowd. Snowboards, fat skis, airbag packs and avalanche safety kit are all carried — tell us the volume when you book.

Geneva to Avoriaz transfer: time, options and return

Transfer time

For an airport transfer Geneva to Avoriaz, the usual transfer time is 1h40. On a peak Saturday it can reach 2h20. The motorway part is quick. Time is lost on the shared valley road past Les Gets, then on the final climb. Your drop point also matters: the Prodains cable car is reached sooner than the high car parks at the resort entrance.

Private transfer, shuttle or bus?

Avoriaz has no rail link. The nearest station is Thonon-les-Bains, with a regional bus line to Morzine and Avoriaz. From Cluses, the bus to Morzine continues to Avoriaz on Saturdays only. Seasonal coaches from the airport run on fixed timetables. With a private transfer, you are not tied to a bus stop: the driver takes you to the drop point agreed for your residence.

Avoriaz to Geneva Airport

For Avoriaz to Geneva airport, aim to be at the terminal two hours before departure. On a weekday, leave about 3h40 before take-off. On a Saturday, leave 4h20 before. Pick-up is at the resort car parks or at Les Prodains, after the cable car down. Agree the point when you book, as sleighs or the cable car add time before you reach the vehicle.

Areas covered

Drop-off anywhere in the resort

Avoriaz is divided into quarters linked on skis and by horse-drawn transport. The drop point depends on which quarter you are staying in.

Les Prodains (1,150 m)

The cable car base station, four minutes from Avoriaz. The most reliable option in heavy snow or when the high road is difficult, and the fastest in the evening.

Resort entrance car parks (1,800 m)

Reached directly by the high road. Residences send sleighs to collect you at the car park. Preferable with small children or large amounts of luggage.

Falaise, Festival and Ruches

The original quarters with Jacques Labro's cedar-shingle architecture, closest to the resort entrance and the main snow front.

Crozats and Hauts-Forts

The upper quarters, oriented towards the ski area and the snowparks. Allow a few more minutes by sleigh from the car parks.

FAQ

Geneva Airport to Avoriaz — your questions

How much is a taxi from Geneva Airport to Avoriaz?
Fares start at €245 Monday to Friday and €325 on Saturdays and Sundays for a four-seat saloon. In a seven-seat van, expect from €325 on weekdays and €405 at weekends. The price covers the whole vehicle, including tolls, luggage and ski equipment.
How does drop-off work in a car-free resort?
Two options depending on your accommodation and conditions. Either at Les Prodains, the cable car base that reaches Avoriaz in four minutes, or directly by the high road to the resort entrance car parks, where residences send horse-drawn sleighs to collect you. We agree which when you book.
Is the Avoriaz road passable in midwinter?
It is cleared daily but remains one of the most demanding accesses in Haute-Savoie: six kilometres of hairpins to 1,800 metres. Our vehicles carry winter tyres compliant with the Loi Montagne II and chains are fitted whenever conditions require, at no extra cost. If the road closes, we drop at Les Prodains instead.
How long does Geneva to Avoriaz really take?
About 1h40 in normal conditions — twenty minutes more than Morzine for only fifteen extra kilometres, because the final climb is slow by nature. On busy Saturdays from January to March, allow up to 2h20.
Is the price per person or per vehicle?
Per vehicle. The fare covers the entire journey whatever the number of passengers, up to the capacity of the vehicle you choose: four in a saloon, seven in a van. For four travellers to Avoriaz, the weekday saloon works out at roughly €61 each — with no price rising at checkout.
Are the vehicles equipped for snow?
Yes. Winter tyres compliant with the French Loi Montagne II from 1 November to 31 March, with chains carried on board and fitted at no extra cost. Avoriaz sits at 1,800 m, and our drivers run this access throughout the season.
Can you carry skis, snowboards and luggage?
Yes, in a van. Skis, snowboards and boots travel in a seven-seat van only, together with your holiday luggage. The four-seat saloon is for travellers without ski equipment. Tick “skis” in the booking form and the van price shows straight away. For six or seven people with kit going to Avoriaz, choose the premium van.
Where does the driver meet me at Geneva Airport?
In the arrivals hall, holding a sign with your name. We pick up on both the Swiss side and the French side of the airport: just choose your side in the booking form. We track your flight and the first hour of waiting after landing is free.
Is there a surcharge if my flight lands late in the evening?
No. The price is the same day or evening, even for a 10pm landing. Only the day of travel matters: weekday rate Monday to Friday, weekend rate on Saturdays and Sundays.
Do you cover the return from Avoriaz to Geneva Airport?
Yes, in both directions, at the same price for the same type of day. The return journey takes about 1h40 in normal conditions. For a Saturday departure in winter, allow extra time: the Bardonnex border crossing and the valley roads are busy from early morning.
