The Route to Les Menuires from Geneva

The first and most likely route to your destination is:
Geneva Airport - N201 - N508 to Albertville - N90 to Moutiers - mountain road D117 to Les Menuires.

Journey Altitude
It’s important to remember that Les Menuires is the highest ski resort in Europe, so you will be at a very high altitude throughout your ski holiday. This can present its own potential complications.
Geneva airport sits at 430m and the main village of Les Menuires 3 Valleys is at 1850m, so passengers sometimes experience discomforts such as nausea, headaches and dizziness.
When you combine this air pressure change with steep, serpentine roads, the journey can be difficult for some people. You can always ask your driver to lower the temperature in the vehicle to help you feel more comfortable or pause the journey whenever you need.
Feeling ill isn't ideal, but the beautiful views are sure to be the perfect medicine!

Private Ski Transfers
If you're on a trip with friends, a large family group or even just a smaller group of skiers wanting the most comfortable journey; a private airport transfer is for you.
A private vehicle means you don't have to wait for fellow passengers to arrive, a dedicated driver will meet you at arrivals and accompany you to your vehicle, and you have the freedom to stop en route to the resort to pick up some essentials or soak up the scenery.
Shared Ski Transfers
If cutting costs is a priority, look into a shared transfer. Shared journeys are our cheapest option but no less reliable.
