Montreux
GVA MONTREUXCity · Switzerland

Montreux draws festival-goers, conference delegates and guests of the lakeside hotels on the Riviera of Lake Geneva. A private car from Geneva Airport spares you the train change in Lausanne with luggage: your chauffeur meets you in arrivals and drops you at the door of your hotel, whether on the Grand-Rue, in Territet or up the hill in Glion.

Chauffeur's tipIf your hotel sits above the lake in Glion or Caux, give the exact address at booking: the roads climb steeply and your chauffeur will plan the best approach.

The route along Lake Geneva

From Geneva Airport your chauffeur joins the A1 motorway and follows the northern shore of Lake Geneva towards Lausanne, passing Nyon and Morges with the Alps across the water on clear days. After Lausanne the A9 climbs above the terraced Lavaux vineyards, a UNESCO World Heritage landscape, before descending towards Vevey and Montreux. In normal traffic the journey takes around 1 h 05; rush hour around Lausanne can add a little time.

Arriving in Montreux

Montreux stretches along the shore, so the drop-off point matters. Your chauffeur takes you straight to your hotel entrance, to the conference and congress centre near the lakefront, or to a private residence in the villages above the town. Guests heading to Chillon Castle, the lakeside promenade or the Freddie Mercury statue can also be dropped as close as traffic rules allow. If you are joining the Montreux Jazz Festival, expect lakefront closures and allow your chauffeur to choose the nearest accessible point.

Practical advice

  • A Mercedes E-Class suits up to 3 passengers with 3 bags; the V-Class van carries up to 7 passengers and 10 bags.
  • Conference groups can book a Sprinter minibus or a chauffeur by the hour (minimum 2 h) for meetings along the Riviera.
  • Book your return to the airport at the same time and AirportsTransfers.ch will collect you at your hotel at the agreed time.

During major events, book early so your preferred vehicle is reserved.

The route to Montreux10 questions
QHow far is Montreux from Geneva Airport?
Montreux is about 91 km by road from Geneva Airport, a drive of around 1 h 05 in normal traffic. The route follows the northern shore of Lake Geneva and stays entirely in Switzerland.
QHow long does it take to drive from Geneva Airport to Montreux?
Count on around 1 h 05 in normal traffic. Rush hour around Lausanne can add a little time, so your chauffeur plans the departure according to your arrival time in Geneva.
QWhich route does the chauffeur take to Montreux?
Your chauffeur joins the A1 motorway along Lake Geneva, passing Nyon and Morges to Lausanne. The A9 then runs above the Lavaux vineyards before descending towards Vevey and Montreux.
QIs there a border crossing between Geneva Airport and Montreux?
No. Both Geneva Airport and Montreux are in Switzerland, so there is no border on the way, and the trip is entirely on Swiss motorways and roads.
QWhen is traffic heaviest between Geneva and Montreux?
Weekday mornings and late afternoons are busiest around Geneva and Lausanne. Travelling mid-morning, early afternoon or in the evening usually keeps the drive to Montreux close to 1 h 05.
QIs there a scenic alternative route to Montreux?
Yes. Instead of the motorway, your chauffeur can follow the lakeside road from Lausanne through the Lavaux villages to Vevey and Montreux. It is slower but gives close views of the vineyards and the lake.
QIs the road to Montreux affected by winter weather?
The A1 and A9 motorways are cleared and treated in winter, so the transfer to Montreux is rarely disrupted. Hotels in Glion or Caux are on steeper roads, where winter tyres matter after snowfall.
QCan I get to Montreux after a late flight into Geneva?
Yes, transfers run 24/7. After a late landing the motorway is quiet, and your chauffeur takes you straight to your hotel or residence in Montreux.
QCan we stop on the way to Montreux?
Yes, a short stop can be arranged, for example in Lausanne or at a viewpoint over Lavaux. Mention it at booking so the extra time is included in your Montreux transfer.
QHow long does it take to reach Glion or Caux above Montreux?
Glion and Caux are reached by steep roads above Montreux, adding a few minutes to the 1 h 05 drive. Give the exact address at booking so your chauffeur plans the approach.
