Complimentary transfers from Geneva or incredible upgrade rates for personal drivers and private transfers from any airport to all of our resorts.
Our holiday prices do not include flights so that you may choose from over 70 flights every day between the UK and our transport hub at Geneva and hundreds more to and from the other local French airports. We offer four complimentary scheduled transfer services from Geneva to and from each of our resorts at different times of the day on Sundays through the the season.
We will have a manned desk at Geneva to provide assistance to all arriving and departing VIP SKI guests throughout the day on a Sunday from all the regional airports, you now have complete control over your flying at your, rather than our, convenience.
For those who might worry about being inconvenienced by flight delays or waiting unnecessarily at Geneva for a scheduled transfer departure, or indeed for those who would prefer to fly to Lyon, Grenoble, or Chambery, we have negotiated and subsidised some incredible rates so you can have your own personal driver and private transfer to and from resort with a supplement from only £12 per person return in the Portes du Soleil and from £48 per person return to the Tarentaise .
If you need our help researching flight options, availability and prices then of course we are more than happy to assist.
We have 4 transfers departing Geneva on Sundays throughout the season, and 4 return transfers to choose from. See here a full list of flights to Geneva which tie in with our transfer times.
Please note that we require confirmation of seat reservation and outbound flight details at time of accommodation balance payment to secure a place on our complimentary transfer.

COMPLIMENTARY TRANSFER BOOKING CONDITIONS
Seats are only provided on a complimentary basis if they are reserved together with outbound flight details (essential) before the balance of the holiday becomes due.
If you are on a flight scheduled to land at Geneva that connects with one of our transfers listed above then we will hold the transfer to resort for 30 minutes in the event that your flight or bag delivery is delayed.
If all passengers booked on the transfer are present before the departure time then the transfer may leave early.
Transfers will not be delayed under any circumstances for anyone booked on a flight scheduled to arrive after the allotted time.
If you miss the departure because you arrive at our desk after the extended time allowance (11:45 for BUS 1, 13:45 for BUS 2, 15:45 for BUS 3 and 17:45 for BUS 4) then we will do our best to arrange an alternative transfer or private taxi but unfortunately this will be at your own cost. We have a desk at Geneva on each of our arrival days throughout the season to help organise an alternative method of transport to resort.
Transfers to and from Val d'Isère and Les Arcs may involve a vehicle change in Bourg St. Maurice. The vehicles are parked side by side, bags are transferred for you, and this normally causes a minimum of delay and inconvenience to guests.
If no guests are pre-booked then a transfer will not operate.
It is often neglected in the excitement of booking a ski holiday that the mountains (and airport!) can be a hostile environment in the winter and that road closures and traffic delays sometimes do happen, it is always worth double checking that your travel insurance will cover you in the unlikely event that you miss your return flight through circumstances beyond anyone’s control.
Whilst our complimentary scheduled coach transfers from Geneva are comfortable, reliable and efficient, we recognise that they may not suit everyone. You might worry about being inconvenienced by flight delays or waiting unnecessarily at the airport for others. You might also wish to fly to Lyon, Grenoble or Chambery and take advantage of a flight route, timing and price that suits you better. We have therefore negotiated with local taxi partners and subsidised the cost substantially so that you can upgrade to a private taxi transfer at some amazing prices.
If you would prefer the comfort and intimacy of your own driver and a private taxi to meet your flight and to take you and your party straight from the airport terminal to your chalet, and then from your chalet to the airport on your return, then this upgrade can cost as little as £29 per person to anywhere in the Portes du Soleil. With our incredible discounted rates even Val d’Isère and Les Arcs cost from only £62 per person.
This service is subject to availability with pricing confirmed at the time of payment. Pre-booking is absolutely essential and in order to avoid disappointment we recommend that you confirm your private transfer upgrade request when you make your accommodation booking. Prices are heavily subsidised by us and therefore only available with a full price accommodation booking. Note that infants are counted as a full passenger as special arrangements apply.

The following car hire companies operate at Geneva airport.
