Ivrea
Ivrea stands where the Aosta Valley opens onto the Piedmont plain, on the banks of the Dora Baltea. It is famous for its UNESCO-listed industrial city built by Olivetti and for its historic carnival with the Battle of the Oranges. Business visitors, architecture enthusiasts and paddlers on the river all appreciate a direct private car from Geneva.
Chauffeur's tipDuring the carnival, much of the centre is closed to traffic; tell us your hotel so the chauffeur plans a drop-off outside the closed area.
The route from Geneva Airport to Ivrea
From Geneva, the chauffeur drives towards Chamonix and enters Italy through the Mont Blanc Tunnel. The A5 motorway then follows the Dora Baltea down the Aosta Valley, past Aosta, the castles of Fénis and Verrès, and the fortress of Bard, before the valley widens near Pont-Saint-Martin. A short run further on brings you to the Ivrea exit. Depending on traffic and the season, the Great St Bernard Tunnel can be an alternative way into the valley.
Arriving in Ivrea
The old town climbs from the river to the cathedral and the castle with its red-brick towers, while the Olivetti buildings line Corso Jervis on the other side. The chauffeur drops you at your hotel, office or the start of the architecture trail. AirportsTransfers.ch also drives guests to the moraine hills and lakes around Ivrea, to the Canavese wine villages and to the canoe and rafting area on the Dora Baltea.
Practical advice for the journey
The transfer is short enough for a day trip, and a return can be booked at the same time. Canoe paddlers and cyclists should declare their equipment when booking so the right vehicle is sent; the V-Class van takes up to seven passengers and ten bags. For carnival visitors, expect heavy demand and book early. Snow can fall around the Mont Blanc Tunnel in winter, and our vehicles are fitted with winter tyres.

Around 2 h 40 for about 215 km, through the Mont Blanc Tunnel and down the Aosta Valley on the A5 motorway.
Can I travel with a canoe, bike or child seat?
Bikes and sports equipment must be declared at booking so we can confirm a suitable vehicle; child seats are provided on request.
Is payment made online?
Yes. The fixed price per vehicle is displayed before booking and paid securely online by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. Nothing is paid in the car.

The route to Ivrea10
How far is Ivrea from Geneva Airport?
Ivrea is about 215 km from Geneva Airport by road, and the private transfer takes around 2 hours 40 minutes in normal traffic. The route crosses into France, passes through the Mont Blanc Tunnel into Italy and follows the A5 motorway down the Aosta Valley.
How long is the drive from Geneva Airport to Ivrea?
Allow around 2 h 40 for the drive, door to door. The time can vary with queues at the Mont Blanc Tunnel, the weather around Chamonix and holiday traffic, and your chauffeur adapts the route to keep the journey to Ivrea as smooth as possible.
Which route does the chauffeur take from Geneva to Ivrea?
The usual route follows the A40 towards Chamonix, goes through the Mont Blanc Tunnel and then joins the A5 down the Aosta Valley, past Aosta, the castles of Fénis and Verrès and the fortress of Bard, to the Ivrea exit. It is motorway or tunnel almost all the way.
Do I cross a border on the way from Geneva to Ivrea?
Yes, twice: you leave Switzerland for France just after Geneva, then enter Italy through the Mont Blanc Tunnel. Carry a valid passport or identity card, and a visa if your nationality needs one for the Schengen area, as checks can take place on either border.
Can we go to Ivrea through the Great St Bernard Tunnel instead of the Mont Blanc Tunnel?
Yes, the Great St Bernard Tunnel is an alternative way into the Aosta Valley, via Lausanne and Martigny on the Swiss side. The chauffeur may choose it depending on traffic, roadworks or closures at the Mont Blanc Tunnel; both routes join the A5 down to Ivrea.
Is the road from Geneva to Ivrea affected by snow in winter?
Snow mainly affects the approach to the Mont Blanc Tunnel around Chamonix and the upper Aosta Valley, while Ivrea itself lies low at the edge of the plain. Our vehicles have winter tyres, and the chauffeur carries chains when conditions require them.
What time should I leave Geneva Airport to avoid traffic to Ivrea?
Mid-morning and early afternoon departures usually avoid the longest queues at the Mont Blanc Tunnel. Summer and winter holiday weekends bring heavy traffic around Chamonix, so on those days an early start is wiser, and the chauffeur follows traffic reports throughout the drive to Ivrea.
Can we stop on the way from Geneva Airport to Ivrea?
Yes, a short break for coffee or a rest can be made on the way, for example in the Aosta Valley. If you would like a longer stop, such as a visit to the fortress of Bard or a walk in Aosta, mention it at booking so it can be planned.
Can I land late at night in Geneva and travel straight to Ivrea?
Yes, transfers run around the clock, so a late-evening or very early arrival is not a problem. At night the Mont Blanc Tunnel and the Aosta Valley motorway are usually quieter, and the drive to Ivrea is often a little quicker than during the day.
Does rush hour make the drive to Ivrea longer?
Rush hour mainly affects the roads around Geneva as you leave the airport, and it can add some time to the start of the trip. Once past the border, the route to Ivrea is rarely congested, apart from tunnel queues on busy holiday weekends.
Booking and payment9
How do I book a private transfer from Geneva Airport to Ivrea?
Choose Geneva Airport as pick-up and Ivrea as destination on the AirportsTransfers.ch website, enter your flight number, passengers and luggage, then pick a vehicle. You see the fixed price before paying and receive a confirmation straight away.
Is the price of a transfer to Ivrea fixed?
Yes, the price is fixed per vehicle, not per passenger, and is shown before you pay. It does not change with traffic, tunnel queues or the time spent on the 2 h 40 drive to Ivrea, so a family or group of colleagues shares one fare.
What is included in the Geneva Airport to Ivrea transfer price?
The price covers the private vehicle, the chauffeur, fuel, motorway tolls and the Mont Blanc Tunnel toll on the way to Ivrea. Waiting time is included if your flight is late, so a delayed landing at Geneva does not cost you anything extra.
How can I pay for a transfer to Ivrea?
You pay online when booking, by credit or debit card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. Nothing needs to be handed to the chauffeur on arrival in Ivrea, which keeps this cross-border trip simple.
How far in advance should I book a transfer to Ivrea?
Booking a few days ahead is advisable, and much earlier for the carnival period, when demand for rides to Ivrea is high. Last-minute bookings can often still be accepted, depending on vehicle availability on the day.
Can I book the return from Ivrea to Geneva Airport at the same time?
Yes, add the return journey to the same booking with your pick-up address in Ivrea and your departure flight. Many visitors on a business trip or a carnival weekend book both legs together for peace of mind.
Can my company receive an invoice for a transfer to Ivrea?
Yes, AirportsTransfers.ch issues an invoice for every booking, and you can add your company name and details when booking. This suits business visits to offices in Ivrea, tours of the Olivetti heritage or meetings elsewhere in Piedmont.
What happens if I need to cancel my transfer to Ivrea?
Please see our cancellation conditions at booking; they are shown clearly before you pay. If your plans for Ivrea change, contact us as soon as possible so we can look at the options with you.
Can you take a large group from Geneva Airport to Ivrea?
Yes. For a carnival party, a team or a corporate delegation heading to Ivrea, the Mercedes Sprinter minibus is quoted on request via the contact form. Groups of up to seven fit in the V-Class van, which can be booked directly online.
Arriving at Geneva Airport6
Where will my chauffeur meet me at Geneva Airport for the trip to Ivrea?
Your chauffeur waits in the arrivals hall holding a sign with your name and helps you with your luggage. From there it is a short walk to the car and the start of the drive towards the Mont Blanc Tunnel and Ivrea.
Should I exit in the Swiss or French sector of Geneva Airport for Ivrea?
Most travellers exit in the Swiss sector, where the chauffeur meets you in the arrivals hall. Although the route to Ivrea passes through France, there is no need to use the French sector unless you have a specific reason; mention it at booking if so.
What happens if my flight is delayed before my transfer to Ivrea?
Your flight is tracked, so the chauffeur adjusts to your actual landing time. Waiting time is included if your flight is late, and you are still driven to Ivrea at the fixed price agreed at booking.
Does the chauffeur follow my flight for the Ivrea transfer?
Yes, the flight number given at booking is used to follow your arrival in real time, so the chauffeur knows if you land early or late. Someone is waiting for you in arrivals whatever time your plane reaches Geneva.
How do I contact my chauffeur for the transfer to Ivrea?
You receive the chauffeur's contact details before the trip and can call or send a WhatsApp message once you land. If you cannot find each other, the AirportsTransfers.ch team is reachable 24/7 on +41 78 346 56 77.
What time should I be picked up in Ivrea for a flight from Geneva?
Plan a pick-up in Ivrea about 5 hours before your flight: around 2 h 40 for the drive, a margin for possible queues at the Mont Blanc Tunnel, and about 2 hours at the airport. The chauffeur confirms the time when you book.
Luggage, skis and children6
Can I bring canoeing or cycling equipment on the transfer to Ivrea?
Yes, but declare paddles, bikes or other sports equipment at booking so a vehicle with enough room is sent. Ivrea's whitewater course on the Dora Baltea attracts paddlers, and full-size boats may need a special arrangement, so describe them precisely.
Which vehicle should I choose for a transfer to Ivrea?
The Business Sedan (E-Class) takes up to 3 passengers and 3 bags, and the First Class S-Class adds comfort for a business trip to Ivrea. The V-Class van carries up to 7 passengers and 10 bags, and the Sprinter minibus is available on request for larger groups.
Are child seats available for the drive to Ivrea?
Yes, child seats and boosters are available on request. Give the age of each child when booking, so the right seats are fitted before you leave Geneva Airport for the drive of almost three hours to Ivrea.
Can I travel to Ivrea with my dog?
Pets can often travel, but please ask at booking and mention the size of the animal and whether it travels in a crate. The chauffeur can then plan a short break on the way to Ivrea if needed.
Is the transfer to Ivrea suitable for passengers with reduced mobility?
Yes, please ask at booking and describe your needs, such as a folding wheelchair or help getting in and out of the car. The chauffeur can then plan the drop-off in Ivrea as close as possible to your entrance, even near the steep old town.
What if I have oversized luggage for my trip to Ivrea?
Large items such as golf bags, musical instruments or exhibition material should be declared at booking. This lets AirportsTransfers.ch choose a vehicle with enough space, often the V-Class van, so everything travels with you to Ivrea.

Can the chauffeur drive into the centre of Ivrea during the carnival?
Much of the centre is closed to traffic during the carnival, so the chauffeur plans a drop-off outside the closed area. Give your hotel address at booking, and expect a short walk with your luggage on the busiest days.
What is the Olivetti heritage in Ivrea?

When is a good time to visit Ivrea?
Spring and autumn are pleasant for walking, the architecture trail and the lakes, while summer suits canoeing and swimming. Winter brings the carnival, the busiest time of year in Ivrea, when hotels and transfers should be booked early.

Can you go canoeing in Ivrea?

How do I get around Ivrea once I arrive?
The old town and riverside are compact and easy to explore on foot, though some streets climb steeply towards the cathedral and castle. For the lakes, wine villages or business sites outside the centre, a car with chauffeur is the practical choice.
Can I travel from Geneva to Ivrea by train instead?
Yes, but the rail journey involves several changes, typically through Switzerland and the Aosta Valley or via Turin, and takes noticeably longer than the road. A private transfer is more direct, especially with luggage or sports equipment.
