Europa-Park (Rust)
Europa-Park in Rust is Germany's largest theme park, with themed areas, on-site hotels and the Rulantica water park next door. For families landing in Geneva, a private transfer is the simplest way there: children's seats fitted, all the luggage in one car and no changes at Basel or Freiburg with tired kids.

Chauffeur's tipTell your chauffeur the name of your Europa-Park hotel: each one has its own entrance and drop-off area, separate from the main park gates.
From Geneva to Rust
The chauffeur leaves Geneva Airport on the Swiss A1 along Lake Geneva and towards Bern, then turns north through the Jura towards Basel. The route crosses the border into Germany at Basel and continues on the A5 up the Rhine plain past Freiburg. A little further north, the Ettenheim exit leads to Rust in a few minutes, and signs for Europa-Park guide the way to the park, the hotel resort and Rulantica.
Arriving at Europa-Park
You can be dropped at the main entrance of the park, at the door of one of the themed resort hotels, at the camping and guest areas or at Rulantica. Holiday flats and guesthouses in Rust village and nearby Ettenheim are also easy to reach. With your own car and chauffeur, there is no waiting for a shuttle bus with the luggage. Arriving by private car also means the children can sleep on the way, and you step out rested, ready to check in and head straight into the park.
Tips for families
A few details make the trip easier with children:
- Request child seats when booking and give each child's age.
- A Mercedes V-Class van takes up to 7 passengers and 10 bags, so two families can travel together.
- Book the return transfer to Geneva at the same time, timed to your check-out.
- School holidays bring heavy traffic on the A5, so allow some extra time.
AirportsTransfers.ch meets you in arrivals with a name sign.
