From Geneva Airport to Visp
The transfer covers about 202 km and takes around two hours and ten minutes. Your chauffeur takes the A1 along Lake Geneva to Lausanne and the A9 past Montreux into the Rhône valley, then continues up the valley through Martigny, Sion and Sierre. In Upper Valais the road passes the Pfyn forest before reaching Visp. Traffic is generally fluid, but winter weekends bring more cars heading to the resorts.
