Neuchâtel
Neuchâtel, on the northern shore of its lake at the foot of the Jura, is home to a university, research institutes and the watchmaking industry that spreads across the region. A private car from Geneva Airport is the simplest way to reach a meeting, a campus or a lakeside hotel without changing trains in Lausanne or Yverdon.
Chauffeur's tipVisiting watchmakers in the Jura after Neuchâtel? Ask for a chauffeur by the hour so the same driver waits and takes you on to your next appointment.
The route via Yverdon-les-Bains
From Geneva Airport your chauffeur takes the A1 towards Lausanne, then leaves the lake shore near Morges to head north across the Vaud countryside towards Yverdon-les-Bains. From there the A5 runs along the northern shore of Lake Neuchâtel, with the Jura ridge on one side and the water on the other, through Grandson and past vineyards to Neuchâtel. The 125 km take around 1 h 25 in usual traffic.
Arriving in Neuchâtel
The city climbs from the lakefront to the castle and the collegiate church on the hill above the old town, whose buildings are known for their yellow sandstone. Your chauffeur can drop you at a hotel on the quays, at the university, at the station or at an office in the business districts. The motorway runs partly in tunnels beneath the city, and your driver will take the exit nearest your address.
Practical advice
Many visitors come for business with watchmaking and microtechnology companies around Neuchâtel, La Chaux-de-Fonds and Le Locle. A Mercedes E-Class or S-Class suits executives, while a V-Class van fits delegations of up to 7 people. AirportsTransfers.ch tracks your flight, so if you land late your chauffeur waits at no extra cost. In winter the Jura can bring snow; the lakeside route is generally easy, but allow a little extra time for onward trips into the hills.

How long is the drive from Geneva Airport to Neuchâtel?

Does snow affect the drive to Neuchâtel in winter?
