Geneva Airport Transfers; A Guide to Private Ski Transfers

Geneva Airport is one of the top-rated airports in Europe. On average, a plane lands and departs every minute, and during the winter season, Geneva remains incredibly popular with avid skiers using the airport as a hub to travel to the countless Alps ski resorts.

If your next skiing holiday starts in the infamous Swiss Airport, Alps2Alps' Geneva Airport transfers will make the journey all that more simple.

Whether you're journeying to a French Alps resort, Switzerland or checking out what ski resorts Austria has to offer, here's all the information you need about our affordable private airport transfers!

Convenient Location for Skiing in the Alps

The excellent location of Geneva Airport opens you up to a world of skiing that you might not have expected.

The Swiss city of Geneva rests at the southern tip of Lac Léman (Lake Geneva). Surrounded by the Alps and Jura mountains, Geneva has breathtaking views of dramatic Mont Blanc.

If you're a newbie to skiing, you might believe an arrival in Switzerland means you have to head to a Swiss ski resort; but that's not the case. Geneva is conveniently bordered by numerous Alpine countries, so a private transfer allows you to reach many ski resorts outside of Switzerland in just a few hours.

In fact, some of our most popular transfer routes from Geneva are to resorts in France, Austria and even the Bavarian Alps, such as;

Geneva Airport to Meribel transfers
Geneva to Val d'Isere transfers
Geneva to St Anton ski transfers
Geneva Airport to Interlaken transfers
