Cuneo
Cuneo stands on a wedge-shaped plateau at the meeting of two rivers, with the long arcades of Via Roma and the vast Piazza Galimberti at its heart. It is a gateway to the Maritime Alps, the Langhe wine hills and the valleys towards France. A private transfer from Geneva saves you train changes in Turin and arrives right at your door.

Chauffeur's tipCuneo's arcades are best explored on foot; ask to be dropped at Piazza Galimberti if your hotel is in the old town, as parking near the arcades is limited.
The route from Geneva Airport to Cuneo
The journey starts through the Arve valley to Chamonix and the Mont Blanc Tunnel, where you cross into Italy. The A5 motorway follows the Aosta Valley down to the Piedmont plain, and the chauffeur skirts Turin on its ring road. South of the city, the motorway towards Savona and then the link road lead across the plain to Cuneo, with the Maritime Alps rising on the horizon. In some conditions, the Fréjus Tunnel route via the Maurienne valley can also be used.
Arriving in Cuneo
The historic centre runs along Via Roma from Piazza Galimberti to the confluence of the Stura and Gesso rivers. Hotels in the centre are reached directly or at the nearest permitted point. AirportsTransfers.ch also drives guests on to the Valle Stura, the Valle Gesso and the Alpi Marittime park, to the Langhe around Alba, or to Mondovì and the ski areas of the Monregalese.
Practical advice for the journey
Allow around four hours, with a break usually taken near Turin. Hikers, cyclists and skiers should declare equipment at booking; the Mercedes V-Class van seats up to seven people with ten bags. Child seats are provided on request. Fog can be thick on the plain in autumn and winter mornings, so early appointments need a little extra margin. Your return trip to Geneva can be booked at the same time, with flight tracking on arrival.

How long is the drive from Geneva Airport to Cuneo?
Allow around 4 h 05 in normal traffic. Waiting at the Mont Blanc Tunnel, traffic around Turin or a break on the way can add some time to the journey to Cuneo.
Which route does the chauffeur take to Cuneo?
The chauffeur drives up the Arve valley to Chamonix, through the Mont Blanc Tunnel into Italy, then down the Aosta Valley on the A5. After skirting Turin on its ring road, the motorway and link road lead south across the plain to Cuneo.
Do we cross borders on the way from Geneva to Cuneo?
Yes, the route passes from Switzerland into France and then into Italy through the Mont Blanc Tunnel. Checks are usually quick, but every passenger needs a valid passport or identity card for the trip to Cuneo.
Is the Mont Blanc Tunnel open in winter for transfers to Cuneo?
Yes, the Mont Blanc Tunnel is open all year, although occasional closures or waiting times can occur. Your chauffeur checks the situation before leaving, and the Fréjus Tunnel via the Maurienne valley is the alternative route to Cuneo.
What winter conditions affect the road to Cuneo?
Snow is possible in the Arve and Aosta valleys, and Italy requires winter equipment in season on mountain roads. The vehicles are prepared for this. Thick fog can also settle on the plain near Cuneo on autumn and winter mornings.

It can. The Turin ring road is busy at weekday rush hours, which may add some time. Your chauffeur adapts the departure from Geneva so you pass Turin outside the main peaks on the way to Cuneo.
Is there an alternative route from Geneva to Cuneo?
Yes, in some conditions the chauffeur uses the Fréjus Tunnel via Chambéry and the Maurienne valley, reaching Turin from the west. The journey time to Cuneo is broadly similar, and the choice depends on traffic and tunnel conditions.
