Albertville
Albertville, host city of the 1992 Winter Olympics, is the gateway to the Tarentaise ski resorts and to the Beaufortain, with the medieval hilltop quarter of Conflans above the modern town. Travellers come for business, family visits or as a stopover on the way to the mountains, and a private car from Geneva is simpler than a train with a change at Annecy or Chambéry.

Chauffeur's tipIf Albertville is a stop on the way to a resort, add it to your booking: your chauffeur can drop one passenger in town and continue up the valley with the rest.
The route from Geneva Airport to Albertville
Your chauffeur crosses into France just south of Geneva and takes the A41 motorway past Annecy towards Chambéry. Near Chambéry, the driver switches to the A43 and then the A430, which runs up the Combe de Savoie to Albertville, with the vineyards of the valley and the Bauges mountains alongside. The journey is motorway almost all the way, which is why it takes only around an hour and a half despite the distance.
Arriving in Albertville
The town lies on the flat valley floor where the Arly joins the Isère, with its centre around the main square and shopping streets. Your driver takes you to the door of your hotel, home or office. The medieval village of Conflans, with its narrow streets and old houses, sits on a rocky spur just above the town and is reachable by car, while the Olympic sites and the Halle Olympique are close to the centre.
Practical advice for your transfer
- Business travellers usually choose the Mercedes E-Class, three passengers and three bags.
- If you continue to a ski resort, declare skis so we send a V-Class van, up to seven passengers with ten bags and skis.
- Child seats are provided on request.
- Saturday traffic at the Albertville junction is heavy in winter, so plan return times generously.
AirportsTransfers.ch tracks your flight and includes waiting time if you arrive late.
