Bonneville
Bonneville, on the Arve between the Môle and the Bornes massif, is the administrative centre of the Faucigny and the gateway to the Borne valley and the Plateau de Solaison. A private transfer from Geneva Airport is handy for residents, people with business at the local courts and administration, and visitors staying in the villages that surround the town.

Chauffeur's tipFor the villages above Bonneville, such as Brizon or the Solaison plateau, give your exact address: the roads are steep and winding, and we drive you right to the door.
The route from Geneva Airport
From the airport your chauffeur heads for the border and joins the A40 motorway east towards Chamonix. The road bypasses Annemasse and follows the Arve upstream past Findrol, with the rounded summit of the Môle on the left and the Bornes cliffs on the right. Bonneville has its own exit, and the town centre lies just off the motorway on the banks of the river. Count around 45 minutes for 37 km, depending on border and commuter traffic.
Arriving in Bonneville
Bonneville is a sub-prefecture town with administrative offices, a court, schools and a historic centre around its old castle and the bridge over the Arve. Your chauffeur drops you at your exact address in town, at a hotel, or in one of the surrounding communities such as Ayze, Marignier or Saint-Pierre-en-Faucigny. AirportsTransfers.ch also runs the trip in the other direction, collecting you at your door for your flight from Geneva.
Practical advice
The section of motorway between Geneva and Bonneville is heavily used by cross-border commuters, so weekday mornings and evenings can be slow. Allow extra time if you have a flight. In winter, skis must be declared at booking, especially if you are continuing to Le Grand-Bornand or the Grand Massif. The Mercedes V-Class takes up to 7 passengers and 10 bags, and child seats are fitted on request. A chauffeur by the hour (minimum 2 h) is available for appointments, and identity documents are needed to cross into France.
