Les Saisies
Les Saisies is a high, sunny resort spread over a wide pass between the Val d'Arly and the Beaufortain, known for gentle open slopes and a strong cross-country skiing tradition from the Albertville Olympics. It is part of the Espace Diamant. With no train nearby, a private car from Geneva is the most comfortable way to reach the resort with skis and family luggage.

Chauffeur's tipThe final climb to the col is exposed to wind and snow; your chauffeur carries winter equipment, but on stormy days allow a little extra time for your return.
The route from Geneva Airport to Les Saisies
Your chauffeur crosses into France and follows the A40 Autoroute Blanche along the Arve valley to Sallanches. From there the road climbs to Megève, descends the Arly valley through Praz-sur-Arly to Flumet, and then rises through Notre-Dame-de-Bellecombe and Crest-Voland to the Col des Saisies. Depending on conditions, the driver may also choose the approach via Albertville and the Beaufortain.
Arriving in Les Saisies
The resort sits right on the pass, with chalets, residences and hotels scattered across the open plateau and close to the lifts. Your driver takes you to the door of your accommodation where the road permits, or to the nearest accessible point. Nordic skiers will find the cross-country trails starting from the heart of the resort, while alpine skiers can explore the wider Espace Diamant from here.
Practical advice for your transfer
Declare alpine and cross-country skis when booking, as they need space: the Mercedes V-Class van takes up to seven passengers with ten bags and ski equipment, and a Sprinter minibus suits larger groups or school parties. Child seats are fitted on request. AirportsTransfers.ch tracks your flight, so your chauffeur adjusts to delays, and waiting time is included. Booking the return in the same order means your pick-up at the end of the week is already arranged.

The route to Les Saisies10
How far is Les Saisies from Geneva Airport?
Les Saisies is about 111 km by road from Geneva Airport. Most of the distance is on the A40 motorway in France, followed by mountain roads through Megève and the Val d'Arly up to the Col des Saisies.
How long is the drive from Geneva Airport to Les Saisies?
Allow around 1 hour 50 minutes in normal conditions. The final climb to the col is a winding mountain road, so snow, wind or busy weekend traffic can add time to the journey to Les Saisies.
What route does the driver take to Les Saisies?
The chauffeur crosses into France and takes the A40 Autoroute Blanche along the Arve valley to Sallanches, climbs to Megève, descends the Val d'Arly to Flumet, then rises through Notre-Dame-de-Bellecombe and Crest-Voland to Les Saisies.
Do you cross the border on the way to Les Saisies?
Yes. Les Saisies is in Savoie, France, so the transfer crosses from Switzerland into France shortly after leaving Geneva Airport. Keep a passport or identity card with you, as border checks are possible.
How long does the transfer to Les Saisies take on a winter Saturday?
On winter Saturdays the Arve valley, Sallanches and the Megève area are busy with skiers arriving and leaving, so the drive to Les Saisies can take noticeably longer than 1 hour 50. Early flights help avoid the worst of it.
Do I need snow chains to reach Les Saisies in winter?
You do not need to bring anything. Our vehicles have winter tyres and carry chains, and chauffeurs fit them if the road to the Col des Saisies requires it. On stormy days the exposed final climb can slow traffic.
Is there another way to reach Les Saisies from Geneva?
Yes. Depending on traffic and conditions, the chauffeur may choose the approach via Albertville and the Beaufortain valley instead of Megève and the Val d'Arly. The choice is made on the day to keep the journey smooth.
Can we make a stop on the way to Les Saisies?
Yes, a short stop is possible, for example in Sallanches or Megève to pick up groceries or ski rental. Tell us at booking so the chauffeur includes it in the timing to Les Saisies.
Can I get a transfer to Les Saisies after a late-evening flight?
Yes. AirportsTransfers.ch operates 24/7, so a chauffeur can collect you from a late arrival and drive you to Les Saisies, even when resort buses no longer run.
What is the traffic like when leaving Les Saisies for Geneva?
Departure Saturdays in the ski season bring heavy traffic down through Flumet, Megève and Sallanches towards the A40. Leaving Les Saisies early and allowing extra margin before your flight is wise.

Enter Geneva Airport and your Les Saisies chalet or residence address on the AirportsTransfers.ch website, choose date, time and vehicle, add your flight number and pay online. Confirmation arrives by email at once.
Is the price to Les Saisies per person or per car?
The price for Les Saisies is fixed per vehicle and shown before payment. A family or a group of friends sharing one van pays the same total, which makes a ski week transfer good value for groups.
Are tolls included in the transfer to Les Saisies?
Yes. Motorway tolls on the A40, fuel and the chauffeur's time for the 111 km mountain drive are included. Waiting time is included if your flight is late, so the fixed price does not change.

Pay online by credit or debit card, Apple Pay or Google Pay when booking your transfer to Les Saisies. Payment is taken in advance, so you have nothing to pay when you meet the chauffeur.
When should I book my Les Saisies ski transfer?
For school holidays and peak winter weekends, book your Les Saisies transfer as early as possible. Last-minute requests are often possible too, but vehicle choice is wider when you book ahead.
Can I book the return from Les Saisies to Geneva Airport at the same time?
Yes. Add the return journey from Les Saisies in the same order, with the pick-up time you choose, so your end-of-week transfer is arranged before you even arrive.

Yes. Enter your company details when booking and the invoice will carry them, which is useful for seminars, team ski trips or business stays in Les Saisies.
What is the cancellation policy for a Les Saisies transfer?
