Biella
Biella sits at the foot of the Alps in northern Piedmont and is known worldwide for its wool mills and fine textile industry. Buyers, designers and engineers visit its companies, while others come for the Sanctuary of Oropa or the hills of the Oasi Zegna. A private chauffeur from Geneva makes a day trip or a business visit simple and punctual.

Chauffeur's tipMany mills and factories lie in the valleys outside town rather than in the centre; give us the company address, not just Biella, for an exact drop-off.
The route from Geneva Airport to Biella
Your chauffeur takes the motorway towards Chamonix along the Arve valley and crosses into Italy through the Mont Blanc Tunnel. The A5 motorway then runs the length of the Aosta Valley, past Aosta, Saint-Vincent and the fortress of Bard, to Pont-Saint-Martin. From there the route leaves the main valley and crosses the low hills of the Serra towards Biella. When the Great St Bernard is more convenient, the chauffeur may use that tunnel instead to join the Aosta Valley.
Arriving in Biella
The town is split between the lower modern centre and the historic upper quarter of Biella Piazzo, reached by a funicular. Textile companies are spread across the surrounding valleys, towards Valle Mosso, Cossato and Trivero, and the chauffeur drives you directly to the factory gate or showroom. AirportsTransfers.ch also serves the Sanctuary of Oropa, golf courses and country hotels in the Biellese hills.
Practical advice for the journey
At under three hours each way, a same-day return trip from Geneva is realistic for business visits, and a chauffeur by the hour, from two hours, can wait between meetings. Fabric samples and sample cases fit easily in the V-Class van, which takes up to ten bags. In winter the Mont Blanc Tunnel approach can be snowy on the French side; our cars are equipped for it, and flights are tracked so waiting time is included if you land late.
