Bourg-Saint-Maurice
Bourg-Saint-Maurice, at the head of the Tarentaise valley, is linked by funicular to Les Arcs and is the last town before the roads up to Tignes, Val d'Isère, La Rosière and Sainte-Foy. A private transfer from Geneva Airport suits skiers taking the funicular, seasonal workers, rafting and hiking visitors in summer, and guests continuing to the high resorts.

Chauffeur's tipTaking the funicular to Arc 1600? Its lower station faces the railway station, and your chauffeur can drop you right there with your skis and luggage.
Up the full length of the Tarentaise
From Geneva Airport the route crosses into France at Bardonnex and follows the A41 to Annecy, then continues past Albertville into the Tarentaise. The N90 climbs the Isère valley to Moûtiers, then the road continues more gently past Aime to Bourg-Saint-Maurice, where the valley opens out at the foot of the Les Arcs slopes. Count around 2 h 15 for 151 km in normal traffic.
Arriving in Bourg-Saint-Maurice
The town has a busy centre and a railway station that serves as a terminus for winter trains from Paris and beyond. Opposite the station, the Les Arcs funicular climbs to Arc 1600 in a few minutes, a convenient alternative to the road. Your chauffeur can drop you at the station, the funicular, your hotel in town, or drive you on to Les Arcs, La Rosière, Sainte-Foy, Tignes or Val d'Isère. AirportsTransfers.ch also brings you back to Geneva Airport at the end of your stay.
Practical advice
Winter Saturdays bring very heavy traffic up the Tarentaise, especially around Moûtiers, so allow extra time when you have a flight home. Skis, snowboards and boot bags must be declared at booking. The Mercedes V-Class takes up to 7 passengers and 10 bags, and a Sprinter minibus carries larger ski groups. In summer, the Isère around Bourg is a well-known white-water rafting spot, and bulky outdoor gear should also be declared. Child seats are fitted on request, and identity documents are needed for the border.

The route to Bourg-Saint-Maurice10
How far is Bourg-Saint-Maurice from Geneva Airport?
Bourg-Saint-Maurice is about 151 km by road from Geneva Airport. The route crosses into France at Bardonnex, follows the A41 to Annecy, continues past Albertville and climbs the full length of the Tarentaise valley on the N90.
How long is the drive from Geneva Airport to Bourg-Saint-Maurice?
Count around 2 hours 15 minutes in normal traffic. On winter Saturdays the Tarentaise is very busy, especially around Moûtiers, and the drive to Bourg-Saint-Maurice can take considerably longer.
What route does the chauffeur take to Bourg-Saint-Maurice?
From Geneva Airport the chauffeur crosses at Bardonnex and takes the A41 to Annecy, then heads to Albertville. The N90 climbs the Isère valley to Moûtiers, then continues more gently past Aime to Bourg-Saint-Maurice.
Do you cross the border on the way to Bourg-Saint-Maurice?
Yes. Bourg-Saint-Maurice is in Savoie, France, so the transfer crosses the Swiss-French border at Bardonnex soon after leaving Geneva Airport. Identity documents are needed, as checks are possible.
How long does it take to reach Bourg-Saint-Maurice on a winter Saturday?
Winter Saturdays bring very heavy traffic up the Tarentaise as skiers change over, with queues around Albertville and Moûtiers. Allow well over three hours, and plan an early flight if you can.
Do I need snow chains to drive to Bourg-Saint-Maurice?
Bourg-Saint-Maurice is in the valley, so the main road is usually clear, though snow can fall in winter. Winter equipment is compulsory in French mountain areas in the cold season, and roads above the town to the resorts are steeper.
What time should I travel to Bourg-Saint-Maurice to avoid traffic?
Midweek travel and early arrivals on Saturdays make the trip far smoother. On weekdays, avoiding the morning and evening commuter peaks at the Geneva border also helps keep the drive near 2 hours 15 minutes.
Is there an alternative route to Bourg-Saint-Maurice?
Up to Albertville, the chauffeur can go via Annecy or via the A43 around Chambéry depending on traffic. In summer only, the Cormet de Roselend pass through the Beaufortain is a scenic but slower option.
Can we stop for groceries on the way to Bourg-Saint-Maurice?
Yes, a short stop in Albertville or Aime can be planned for supplies or ski hire. Mention it at booking so the stop is included in your transfer to Bourg-Saint-Maurice.
Can I get to Bourg-Saint-Maurice after a late flight?
Yes, transfers run around the clock. Night traffic in the Tarentaise is light, so a late arrival often means a smooth drive up to Bourg-Saint-Maurice.
