Mijoux – Monts Jura
Mijoux sits in the upper Valserine valley, just below the Col de la Faucille, at the heart of the Monts Jura ski area overlooking Lake Geneva. It suits families, cross-country skiers and anyone who wants a mountain stay very close to the airport. A private car handles the climb over the Faucille, which can be demanding in snow, so you arrive relaxed.

Chauffeur's tipThe Col de la Faucille is the key point of this route: in heavy snowfall, allow extra time and let your chauffeur decide the best departure time.
The route from Geneva Airport
The drive is short but properly mountainous. From the airport, your chauffeur crosses into France towards Ferney-Voltaire and Gex in the Pays de Gex, then climbs the hairpins to the Col de la Faucille, with wide views back over Lake Geneva and the Alps. From the col the road descends into the Valserine valley to Mijoux. Allow about forty-five minutes in normal conditions.
Arriving in Mijoux
Mijoux is a small village, with lifts connecting it to La Faucille and to the wider Monts Jura ski area shared with Lélex and Crozet. Cross-country tracks and snowshoe trails run along the valley, and in summer the area is popular for walking and mountain biking. Your driver drops you at your chalet, hotel or holiday flat, including those near the Faucille col. AirportsTransfers.ch can also take you back to Geneva Airport or into Geneva for a day in the city.
Practical advice
Because the trip is short, it is also a good option for a chauffeur by the hour, from a minimum of two hours, if you want a day on the slopes and a ride back the same evening. Families with skis will be comfortable in the Mercedes V-Class, which seats up to 7 passengers with 10 bags. Declare your skis and request child seats when booking. Our chauffeurs track your flight, so a delayed landing simply means they wait for you in arrivals with a name sign.

The route to Mijoux – Monts Jura10
How far is Mijoux from Geneva Airport?
Mijoux, in the Monts Jura ski area, is about 37 km by road from Geneva Airport. Despite the short distance, the route crosses a mountain pass, the Col de la Faucille.
How long is the drive from Geneva Airport to Mijoux?
Allow about 45 minutes in normal conditions. In heavy snowfall the climb over the Col de la Faucille takes longer, so your chauffeur may suggest an earlier departure.
Which route goes from Geneva Airport to Mijoux?
Your chauffeur crosses into France towards Ferney-Voltaire and Gex in the Pays de Gex, then climbs the hairpins to the Col de la Faucille, with views back over Lake Geneva and the Alps. From the col the road descends into the Valserine valley to Mijoux.
Is there a border crossing on the way to Mijoux?
Yes. Mijoux is in France, in the Ain department, and the transfer crosses the border shortly after leaving Geneva Airport, near Ferney-Voltaire. Carry a valid passport or identity card.
When is the best time to set off from Geneva Airport for Mijoux?
Avoid weekday commuter peaks in the Pays de Gex. In winter, daylight transfers make the climb over the Col de la Faucille more comfortable, especially after fresh snowfall.
Do I need snow chains to drive to Mijoux in winter?
Chains can be required on the Col de la Faucille in heavy snow, but your chauffeur handles the winter equipment, so you need nothing yourself. The col is the key point of the route: allow extra time and let your chauffeur decide when to set off.

Is there another way to reach Mijoux than the Col de la Faucille?
Yes. Mijoux can also be reached through the Valserine valley from the south, via Valserhône and Lélex, or from the Swiss Jura through the Les Rousses area. These routes are longer and used mainly if the col is difficult.
