Moûtiers
Moûtiers, in the Tarentaise valley, is the gateway to the Three Valleys: from here the roads climb to Courchevel, Méribel, Les Menuires and Val Thorens, and the spa resort of Brides-les-Bains lies just above the town. A private transfer from Geneva Airport takes skiers, chalet staff and spa guests straight to Moûtiers or right on up to their resort.

Chauffeur's tipMost passengers are going beyond Moûtiers. Give us your resort and chalet address so we can quote and drive the whole route up to Courchevel, Méribel or Val Thorens.
From Geneva to the Tarentaise
Your chauffeur leaves Switzerland at Bardonnex and takes the A41 motorway to Annecy. From there, the route follows the western shore of Lake Annecy or the motorway via Chambéry, then continues past Albertville into the Tarentaise. The N90 dual carriageway climbs the valley of the Isère to Moûtiers, where the roads to the Three Valleys resorts branch off. The 124 km take around 1 h 50 in normal traffic.
Arriving in Moûtiers
The town lies at a narrow junction of valleys and is mainly a transport hub, with a railway station served by trains from Paris in the ski season. Some passengers stop here to meet friends or take a train; most continue up to the resorts. Your chauffeur can drop you in the centre, at the station or take you all the way to your accommodation. AirportsTransfers.ch also collects you at the end of your stay for the return to Geneva Airport.
Practical advice
Winter Saturdays are notoriously busy on the N90 and around Moûtiers, as thousands of skiers change over in the Three Valleys; leaving early helps a lot. Skis, snowboards and boot bags must be declared when booking. The Mercedes V-Class takes up to 7 passengers and 10 bags with skis, and a Sprinter minibus suits larger chalet groups. Child seats are fitted on request. Identity documents are needed for the border crossing.

The route to Moûtiers10
How far is Moûtiers from Geneva Airport?
Moûtiers is about 124 km by road from Geneva Airport. The drive crosses into France and follows motorways and the N90 dual carriageway up the Tarentaise valley to the town where the roads to the Three Valleys begin.
How long is the drive from Geneva Airport to Moûtiers?
Allow around 1 hour 50 minutes in normal traffic. On winter Saturdays the Tarentaise is very busy, and the same journey to Moûtiers can take much longer.
What route does the chauffeur take to Moûtiers?
The chauffeur leaves Switzerland at Bardonnex and takes the A41 to Annecy, then continues either along Lake Annecy or via the motorway through Chambéry to Albertville, before climbing the N90 up the Isère valley to Moûtiers.
Do you cross a border on the way to Moûtiers?
Yes. Moûtiers is in Savoie, France, so the transfer crosses from Switzerland into France at the start of the journey. Identity documents are needed for the border crossing.
Why is Saturday traffic so heavy around Moûtiers?
Winter Saturdays are changeover days in the Three Valleys, so thousands of skiers arrive and leave at the same time, and the N90 and the Moûtiers junction become congested. Leaving early helps a lot.
How long does a transfer to Moûtiers take on a winter Saturday?
On peak ski Saturdays the drive to Moûtiers can take well over the usual 1 hour 50, with the slowest part on the N90 between Albertville and Moûtiers. Early-morning arrivals usually avoid the worst queues.
Do I need snow chains to get to Moûtiers?
The N90 to Moûtiers is a major road and usually clear, but our vehicles have winter tyres and carry chains for the resort roads above the town, where snow is more common.
Is there an alternative route from Geneva to Moûtiers?
Yes. The chauffeur can choose between the route along Lake Annecy and the motorway via Chambéry and the A430 to Albertville, depending on traffic. Both join the N90 for the final climb to Moûtiers.
Can we stop on the way to Moûtiers?
Yes. A short stop in Annecy or Albertville, for example for groceries before a chalet week, can be added. Mention it at booking so the chauffeur plans the timing.
Can I get a transfer to Moûtiers after a late flight?
Yes. AirportsTransfers.ch operates 24/7, so a chauffeur can meet a late arrival and drive you to Moûtiers or straight up to your resort. The chauffeur waits in arrivals with a name sign, whatever time you land.

With nearly 2 hours of driving, a pick-up in Moûtiers about 4 hours before your flight is sensible. On winter Saturdays, leave earlier still because of traffic on the N90.
