La Tzoumaz
La Tzoumaz is a quiet family resort above Riddes in Valais, connected by ski lifts to Verbier and the 4 Vallées area via Savoleyres. Many guests choose it for direct access to a large ski area without Verbier's bustle. A private chauffeur from Geneva Airport brings you there in under two hours, with skis and luggage, right to your chalet.
Chauffeur's tipLa Tzoumaz is reached from Riddes, not via Verbier; give your chalet address and the chauffeur will take the direct road up from the valley.
The route from Geneva to La Tzoumaz
Your chauffeur follows the A1 along Lake Geneva past Lausanne and Montreux, then the A9 up the Rhône valley past Martigny to Riddes. From Riddes a mountain road climbs through forests and the Mayens-de-Riddes, with a series of hairpin bends, to La Tzoumaz. The journey is about 160 km and takes around one hour fifty minutes, on a route kept open in winter.
Arriving in La Tzoumaz
La Tzoumaz is spread out along the hillside, with chalets and apartment buildings above and below the road. The gondola to Savoleyres starts in the resort and links into the Verbier slopes of the 4 Vallées, so you can ski towards Verbier and back. Your chauffeur drops you at your chalet or apartment; some access roads are steep and narrow, so give clear address details when booking. In summer, the Bisse du Levron and forest walks are popular.
Practical advice
AirportsTransfers.ch suggests the Mercedes V-Class for families and groups, with room for up to 7 passengers and their skis; declare equipment at booking. Child seats are available on request. Your flight is tracked and waiting time is included if it lands late. Book your return trip together with the outbound journey, and on winter Saturdays leave some extra margin for traffic in the Rhône valley and around Lausanne on the way back to Geneva.
