Gland
Gland, on the Vaud shore of Lake Geneva between Nyon and Rolle, is home to the international headquarters of WWF and IUCN, and to a growing community of international families.

Chauffeur's tipIf you are heading to an office or conference in Gland, enter the organisation's address at booking; the chauffeur will drop you at the main entrance.
From Geneva Airport to Gland
The chauffeur takes the A1 motorway from the airport towards Lausanne, running parallel to Lake Geneva, past Coppet and Nyon, and leaves at the Gland exit. The journey is straightforward and usually takes around half an hour, although morning and evening traffic around Geneva and Nyon can add a few minutes. The route crosses from the canton of Geneva into Vaud.
Arriving in Gland
Gland is a modern town spread between the railway, the motorway and the lake. Residential districts, schools and offices are all accessible by car, and the chauffeur drops you at the door. The international organisations are located close to the lake shore, and business guests are taken directly to the reception. Neighbouring villages such as Vich, Begnins or Prangins are just a few minutes further.
Practical advice
- Business travellers often choose a Mercedes E-Class sedan, or a Mercedes S-Class for a First Class welcome.

AirportsTransfers.ch tracks your flight and includes waiting time if you land late, and your chauffeur waits in arrivals with a name sign. For a day of meetings along the lake, a chauffeur by the hour, from two hours, is available, and your return to Geneva Airport can be booked in the same order.

The route to Gland10
How far is Gland from Geneva Airport?
Gland is about 30 km by road from Geneva Airport, on the shore of Lake Geneva in the canton of Vaud, just beyond Nyon on the way to Lausanne.
How long is the drive from Geneva Airport to Gland?
The drive takes around 30 minutes in normal traffic, almost entirely on the A1 motorway. Morning and evening traffic around Geneva and Nyon can add a few minutes.
What route does the chauffeur use to reach Gland?
Your chauffeur joins the A1 motorway at the airport and heads towards Lausanne, running parallel to Lake Geneva past Coppet and Nyon, then leaves at the Gland exit. Offices and homes are a few minutes from the motorway.
Is there a border crossing between Geneva Airport and Gland?
No. The whole transfer to Gland stays in Switzerland, simply crossing from the canton of Geneva into the canton of Vaud. No identity checks take place on the way.
When should I avoid driving from Geneva Airport to Gland?
The A1 is busiest on weekday mornings towards Geneva and late afternoons towards Lausanne. If your schedule is flexible, mid-morning, early afternoon or evening transfers to Gland are the smoothest.
Can winter weather slow the transfer to Gland?
Only occasionally. The A1 along the lake is a major motorway that is cleared quickly, so snow seldom causes delays on the way to Gland. Our vehicles have winter tyres in the cold season.
Can I make a stop in Nyon on the way to Gland?
Yes. Nyon is directly on the route, so a stop there, or in Coppet, is easy to add to your Gland transfer. Mention it at booking so it is included in the plan.
Can I arrive in Gland late at night by private car?
Yes. Transfers to Gland run 24/7, and your chauffeur waits in arrivals whatever time you land. Late-night drives along the A1 are usually quick and quiet.
How long does the Gland transfer take at peak hours?
At weekday rush hour the journey from Geneva Airport to Gland can take 40 to 50 minutes, mainly because of congestion around Geneva. Allow a margin if you have a meeting or a flight.
Is there a scenic alternative to the motorway for Gland?
Yes. The lakeside road through Versoix, Coppet and Nyon also leads to Gland. It is slower than the A1 but scenic, and your chauffeur may use it if the motorway is blocked.
