Chauffeur's tipWeather on the Feldberg can be much snowier than in Basel; the chauffeur keeps an eye on conditions, but warm boots in your hand luggage are a good idea in winter.
From Geneva Airport to the Feldberg
The chauffeur takes the A1 motorway north-east from Geneva, past Lausanne and along the Swiss plateau, continuing towards Bern and then Basel. The route crosses into Germany at Basel. From there, depending on traffic and snow, it either climbs through the Wiese valley via Todtnau, or follows the A5 to Freiburg and climbs east through the Höllental before turning off towards the Feldberg. Both options lead through dense forest and pretty villages on the final stretch. The trip crosses the Swiss-German border.
Arriving at the Feldberg
Accommodation is spread between Feldberg-Ort near the lifts, the village of Altglashütten and nearby lakeside resorts such as Titisee and Schluchsee. All are accessible by car, and your chauffeur drops you at your hotel or holiday flat. The ski lifts are clustered around the Feldberg pass, with cross-country trails across the high plateau and plenty of walking routes in summer.
