The road from Geneva
From Geneva Airport your chauffeur crosses the border and follows the A40 east past Annemasse, then turns onto the A410, the motorway link that runs south from the Arve valley towards Annecy. La Roche-sur-Foron lies just off this road, and its exits serve both the town and the Rochexpo exhibition grounds. Depending on traffic at the border, the 37 km take around 45 minutes.
Arriving in La Roche-sur-Foron
The old town, with its stone houses, narrow lanes and the remaining tower of the castle overlooking the valley, is one of the best preserved in the Faucigny. Your chauffeur drops you at your hotel, home or business address, or at the exhibition centre for fairs and trade shows. The town also has a railway station on the lines towards Annecy and Saint-Gervais. AirportsTransfers.ch can collect you for your return flight from Geneva at a time agreed in advance.
Practical advice
During big events at Rochexpo, traffic around the exhibition centre can be dense, so allow extra time and book your transfer early. Weekday commuter traffic near Annemasse can also slow the first part of the journey. For exhibitors with display material, the Mercedes V-Class takes up to 7 passengers and 10 bags, and a Sprinter minibus is available for larger groups. Child seats are fitted on request, and skis should be declared at booking if you are continuing to the Aravis resorts. Keep identity documents to hand for the border.

How long is the drive from Geneva Airport to La Roche-sur-Foron?

Which route does the chauffeur take to La Roche-sur-Foron?
From Geneva Airport the chauffeur crosses the border, follows the A40 east past Annemasse and then takes the A410 link south towards Annecy. La Roche-sur-Foron lies just off the A410, with exits serving both the town and the Rochexpo grounds.
Do I cross the border on the way to La Roche-sur-Foron?
Yes. La Roche-sur-Foron is in Haute-Savoie, France, so the transfer crosses the Franco-Swiss border shortly after leaving Geneva. Checks are usually quick, but every passenger should carry a valid passport or identity card.
When is traffic heaviest between Geneva Airport and La Roche-sur-Foron?
Weekday commuter peaks around Annemasse and the border, in the early morning and late afternoon, are the slowest periods. Days with large events at Rochexpo also bring dense traffic close to the exhibition centre, so allow extra time.
Is the road to La Roche-sur-Foron affected by snow in winter?
The route to La Roche-sur-Foron is motorway almost all the way and is kept clear in winter. Snow chains are rarely needed on this lowland journey, though heavy snowfall can slow traffic; our vehicles are equipped for winter conditions.
Can I arrive late at night and still get a transfer to La Roche-sur-Foron?

Can we stop on the way from Geneva Airport to La Roche-sur-Foron?
A short stop, for example at a shop or to collect a colleague in Annemasse, can be arranged. Mention it when booking so the chauffeur can plan the 37 km journey and the extra time accordingly.
Is there an alternative route to La Roche-sur-Foron if the motorway is busy?
If the A40 or A410 is congested, the chauffeur can use departmental roads through Reignier or the Arve valley towns. The motorway is normally the quickest option, and the choice is made on the day according to traffic.
How long does the drive to La Roche-sur-Foron take during Rochexpo fairs?
During major fairs at Rochexpo the last few kilometres can slow considerably, so a journey of around 45 minutes may stretch noticeably at peak arrival times. Book early and tell us your hall or stand so the chauffeur uses the right entrance.
