Veysonnaz
Veysonnaz is a traditional Valais village on the slopes south of Sion, connected to the 4 Vallées ski area and known for the Piste de l'Ours, used for World Cup races. It attracts families and keen skiers who want a quieter base than the bigger resorts. A private car from Geneva Airport brings everyone and their skis to the chalet without changes.

Chauffeur's tipSome chalets in Veysonnaz are on steep side lanes: send your exact address and any access notes at booking so your chauffeur can plan the approach.
The route via the Rhône valley
Your chauffeur follows the A1 along Lake Geneva to Lausanne, then the A9 through Montreux and the Rhône valley via Saint-Maurice and Martigny to Sion. From Sion a mountain road climbs the southern slopes of the valley through orchards, vineyards and hamlets, with wide views towards the Bernese Alps, up to Veysonnaz. The 170 km take around 1 h 55 in normal traffic, with a little more time on winter Saturdays when the A9 and the resort roads are busiest.
Arriving in Veysonnaz
The old village with its church and wooden granaries sits slightly below the modern resort area, where the gondola departs towards Thyon and the 4 Vallées network. Your chauffeur drops you at your chalet, apartment or hotel, or at the gondola station if you want to ski on arrival. The Piste de l'Ours runs down to the village, and the slopes connect with Thyon, Nendaz and Verbier.
Practical advice
- Declare skis at booking; the V-Class van takes up to 7 passengers and 10 bags.
- In winter, snow chains may be needed on the mountain road in heavy snowfall; your chauffeur drives a vehicle equipped for winter conditions.
- Child seats are available on request.
AirportsTransfers.ch tracks your flight and includes waiting time if you land late. Book your return transfer to Geneva Airport at the same time and allow extra margin on busy Saturdays when the whole valley changes over.
