Annemasse
Annemasse is the main French town on the eastern edge of Geneva, home to many cross-border workers and families and a gateway to the Chablais and the Arve valley. Arriving with luggage, crossing Geneva at rush hour and then the border is much easier with a private car, especially when your flight lands late in the evening.

Chauffeur's tipCrossing Geneva at peak hours can be slow; your chauffeur often uses the motorway bypass around the city, which is longer in kilometres but usually quicker.
The route from Geneva Airport to Annemasse
Your chauffeur has two options. The first is to take the Geneva motorway bypass south around the city, cross into France near Bardonnex and follow the French motorways east to Annemasse. The second is to cross Geneva itself towards Chêne-Bourg and the Moillesulaz border post. The driver checks the traffic before leaving and picks the faster route; either way, the trip crosses the border into France.
Arriving in Annemasse
Annemasse is a busy town with a modern centre around its station, a stop on the Léman Express, and residential districts spreading into Ambilly, Gaillard, Ville-la-Grand and Vétraz-Monthoux. Your driver takes you directly to your door, whether that is a home, hotel or business. The town is also a starting point for trips into the Chablais and towards the Salève, which rises just to the south-west.
Practical advice for your transfer
For a single traveller or a couple, the Mercedes E-Class sedan with room for three bags is ideal. Families and those moving with more luggage should choose the V-Class van, which takes up to seven passengers and ten bags. Child seats are provided on request. AirportsTransfers.ch operates 24/7, tracks your flight and includes waiting time if you are late, so a midnight arrival is just as straightforward as a daytime one. You can book your return to the airport in the same order.
