Praz-sur-Arly
Praz-sur-Arly is a village resort between Megève and Flumet, popular with families who want gentle slopes, chalet life and easy access to the Espace Diamant ski area. It has no rail link, so a private car from Geneva is by far the simplest option, taking you through Megève and straight to your door in under an hour and a half.
Chauffeur's tipThe road through Megève can be slow on Saturday afternoons; for departures, your chauffeur may suggest leaving a little earlier than you would expect.
The route from Geneva Airport to Praz-sur-Arly
Your chauffeur crosses into France and follows the A40 Autoroute Blanche along the Arve valley as far as Sallanches. From there the road climbs past Combloux, runs through Megève and continues gently down the Arly valley to Praz-sur-Arly. Only the last part is mountain road, and it is a main route that is well maintained and cleared in winter.
Arriving in Praz-sur-Arly
The village stretches along the valley road, with its lifts close to the centre and many chalets on the slopes on either side. Your driver drops you at the door of your accommodation, or at the nearest safe point when a private lane is steep or not yet ploughed. From Praz-sur-Arly you can ski towards Flumet and the rest of the Espace Diamant, while Megève is a short drive back up the road.
Practical advice for your transfer
Declare skis and snowboards when you book so we allocate a vehicle with enough room: the Mercedes V-Class van carries up to seven passengers with ten bags and ski equipment, and a Sprinter minibus is available for bigger groups. Child seats are provided on request and fitted before you set off. With AirportsTransfers.ch your flight is tracked, your chauffeur waits in arrivals with a name sign, and waiting time is included if you are delayed. You can also add your return journey to the same booking.
