The route from Geneva Airport to Schaffhausen
Your chauffeur follows the A1 from Geneva Airport via Lausanne, Yverdon-les-Bains and Bern towards Zurich. Near Winterthur the route turns north onto the A4, which crosses the Weinland countryside and the Rhine to reach Schaffhausen. The journey covers about 324 km and usually takes around three hours and twenty-five minutes, staying within Switzerland the whole way, even though Schaffhausen lies on the northern bank of the Rhine surrounded by Germany.
Arriving in Schaffhausen
The old town is famous for its painted houses and decorative oriel windows, and much of it is pedestrian. Above it stands the Munot, while the Rhine Falls lie a few minutes away in Neuhausen am Rheinfall. Your chauffeur takes you to your hotel, a company site in the industrial areas along the Rhine, or a private address, stopping as close as possible to the car-free streets.
Tips for your transfer
The Business sedan suits up to three passengers with three bags, while the Van takes families or small groups with up to 10 bags. Flight tracking means your driver waits for you if your plane is delayed, and waiting time is included. If you are travelling on to an address just across the border in Germany, mention it when booking. AirportsTransfers.ch gives you the fixed price per vehicle before confirmation, and the return trip can be booked at the same time.
