San Martino di Castrozza
San Martino di Castrozza sits beneath the dramatic peaks of the Pale di San Martino in eastern Trentino, a resort loved for its quiet atmosphere and spectacular scenery. It is far from the main rail lines, so a private car is by far the simplest way to reach it from Geneva, especially with children, skis or several suitcases.

Chauffeur's tipThe Rolle pass road is beautiful but high; after a snowfall, allow extra time and keep a warm layer handy for when you step out on arrival.
Getting from Geneva to San Martino di Castrozza
Your chauffeur drives from Geneva into Italy via the Simplon or the Aosta Valley, then follows the motorways past Milan towards Verona and up the Brenner motorway (A22) through the Adige valley. Leaving the motorway north of Trento, the route crosses into the Val di Fiemme and climbs over the Rolle pass, descending to San Martino on the other side. An alternative approach via the Valsugana and the Primiero valley can be used depending on the season and road conditions. The trip crosses the Swiss-Italian border.
Arriving in San Martino
The resort is compact, built along the road at the foot of the Pale di San Martino. Hotels and apartments are close together and can be reached directly by car, and the lifts start on both sides of the village. In summer, the area is a base for walks in the Paneveggio-Pale di San Martino nature park.
Advice for your transfer
This is one of the longer journeys from Geneva, so arriving on an early flight helps you reach the resort before dark. A break on the way is easy to arrange. Declare skis and snowboards at booking so we send a vehicle with enough space, such as the Mercedes V-Class van for up to 7 passengers and 10 bags; child seats are available on request. AirportsTransfers.ch follows your flight and includes waiting time if it is delayed, and you can book the return transfer to Geneva Airport in the same order.
