Route Details, Issues & Alternatives

The standard route from Geneva airport to Val-d’Isere will usually take you via Annecy (along Lake Annecy) and Albertville, followed by an impressive 32km climb up the mountain road Bourg St Maurice. This direct route will take you past the Chevril dam and along the lake to arrive at the area known as La Daille - the gateway to the renowned ski resort of Val d'Isere.

An alternative route will take you via the motorway, heading towards Lyon / Albertville. This journey is longer and will incur motorway toll fees, though you could get to Val-d’Isere faster if the shorter route is heavily congested.

A third option would be to journey via Clusaz / Megeve. This is a much longer drive, so should only be used as an emergency if all other options are closed.
