Saint-Jean-d'Aulps
Saint-Jean-d'Aulps lies in the Aulps valley between Thonon-les-Bains and Morzine, known for its ruined Cistercian abbey and the Roc d'Enfer ski area. It suits families and skiers who prefer a calmer base close to the Portes du Soleil. A private transfer saves you the bus change and gets you to your chalet with all your gear in one go.
Chauffeur's tipThe valley road is the main route to Morzine, so Saturday afternoons can be slow; an earlier pickup often saves a good half hour.
The route from Geneva Airport
From the airport, your chauffeur crosses into France and follows the south shore of Lake Geneva towards Thonon-les-Bains. From there the road climbs through the Dranse gorges into the Aulps valley, the same road that leads on to Morzine and Avoriaz. Saint-Jean-d'Aulps is reached before Morzine, after about an hour and a quarter in normal conditions. In fresh snow the gorges section is taken steadily, and the chauffeur adapts the timing.
Arriving in Saint-Jean-d'Aulps
The village is spread out along the valley, with the abbey ruins near the centre and the ski area of Roc d'Enfer above the hamlet of La Grande Terche. Many visitors rent chalets on the hillsides, so a door-to-door drop-off is a real advantage when you arrive with suitcases, skis and children. In summer the valley is popular for walking, cycling and the nearby lakes. AirportsTransfers.ch can also take you on to Morzine or Les Gets during your stay if needed.
Practical advice
- Declare skis and snowboards at booking so the right vehicle is sent.
- A Business sedan (Mercedes E-Class) suits up to 3 passengers with 3 bags; the V-Class van is better for families.
- Child seats are available on request.
- Meet and greet with a name sign in arrivals, and flight tracking if you land late.
Book your return trip at the same time to keep the fixed price for both directions.

The route to Saint-Jean-d'Aulps10
How far is Saint-Jean-d'Aulps from Geneva Airport?
Saint-Jean-d'Aulps is about 66 km by road from Geneva Airport. The route runs along the south shore of Lake Geneva to Thonon-les-Bains, then climbs through the Dranse gorges into the Aulps valley.
How long is the drive from Geneva Airport to Saint-Jean-d'Aulps?
The drive takes around 1 h 15 in normal conditions. In fresh snow the gorges section is taken steadily, and on busy Saturday afternoons traffic heading to Morzine can make the journey longer.
Which route does the chauffeur take to Saint-Jean-d'Aulps?
From the airport, your chauffeur crosses into France and follows the south shore of Lake Geneva towards Thonon-les-Bains. From there the road climbs through the Dranse gorges into the Aulps valley, the same road that continues to Morzine.
Is there a border crossing on the way to Saint-Jean-d'Aulps?
Yes. Saint-Jean-d'Aulps is in Haute-Savoie, France, so the transfer crosses the Franco-Swiss border soon after leaving Geneva. Every passenger should carry a passport or identity card and any Schengen visa required.
How much longer is the trip to Saint-Jean-d'Aulps on a winter Saturday?
The valley road is the main route to Morzine and Avoriaz, so Saturday afternoons can be slow. An earlier pickup often saves a good half hour, and evening arrivals are usually smoother too.
Is the road through the Dranse gorges safe in winter?
Yes, the road is a main route kept open in winter, but the gorges section can be icy or snowy. Our chauffeurs drive it steadily in vehicles equipped for French mountain rules, and chains are fitted if conditions require them.
Can we stop on the way to Saint-Jean-d'Aulps?
Yes. A short stop in Thonon-les-Bains, for shopping or a break by the lake, is easy to include on the way to Saint-Jean-d'Aulps. Mention it at booking so the chauffeur allows the time.
Can I get a transfer to Saint-Jean-d'Aulps after a night flight?
Yes, transfers run 24/7. If you land late, the lakeside road and the Aulps valley are quiet, and your chauffeur takes you directly to your chalet in Saint-Jean-d'Aulps whatever the hour.
When is traffic lightest between Geneva and Saint-Jean-d'Aulps?
Weekdays and early mornings are generally quiet on this route. Traffic is heaviest on winter Saturday afternoons, when chalets in Morzine and Avoriaz change guests, and around Thonon at weekday commuting times.
Is there an alternative route to Saint-Jean-d'Aulps?
Yes. Instead of going via Thonon, the chauffeur can take the A40 towards Cluses, then drive through Taninges and Les Gets to Morzine and down the valley to Saint-Jean-d'Aulps. It is useful when the gorges road is disrupted.

How far in advance should I book for Saint-Jean-d'Aulps?
