Gryon is a traditional village on a sunny shelf above the Rhône valley, linked to the Villars ski area and popular with families and chalet guests who prefer a quieter base.

Chauffeur's tipGryon is approached from Bex on a winding road; if you are staying higher up at Barboleuse, give the exact address so the chauffeur drops you at the right level.
From Geneva Airport to Gryon
The chauffeur takes the A1 to Lausanne, then the A9 along Lake Geneva past Vevey and Montreux, with Chillon Castle on the shore. Entering the Rhône valley, you leave the motorway at Bex and climb a winding road through the forest to Gryon, which sits on its balcony above the valley.
The route stays in Switzerland and takes around 1 h 30 in normal traffic, making Gryon one of the most accessible ski villages in the Vaud Alps. The climb from Bex is short but steep, with tight bends that your chauffeur takes calmly in winter, using chains if the snow requires it.
Arriving in Gryon
The village is car-accessible, and your driver drops you at your chalet, hotel or the lifts. Gryon and the neighbouring hamlet of Barboleuse are linked to the Villars ski area, so you can reach the slopes without driving further. The Bex-Villars-Bretaye railway also serves Gryon, handy for days without the car.
Practical advice
- Chalet stays often mean lots of luggage: the Mercedes V-Class takes up to 7 passengers and 10 bags.
- Declare skis and boots when booking.
- Saturday traffic along Lake Geneva can be dense in winter, so leave a margin before your return flight.
AirportsTransfers.ch meets you in arrivals with a name sign, tracks your flight and includes waiting time if it is late, with a fixed price per vehicle known in advance.
