About this route
Chamonix-Mont-Blanc sits at the foot of the highest peak in the Alps and is one of the most popular ski and mountaineering destinations in Europe. Geneva Airport is the closest international gateway, which is why nearly every visitor arrives by road transfer rather than by train.
The drive crosses the French border shortly after leaving the airport, then climbs gradually along the A40 autoroute and into the Arve valley. The route is well-served year-round and operators use snow tyres or chains in winter. Allow extra time on Saturdays in ski season, when traffic into the valley can slow considerably.
Arrival tips: after baggage reclaim, follow signs for "Arrivals — Bus & Transfers" on the French side of Geneva Airport. Most operators meet you in the arrivals hall with a name board. Have your booking reference and flight number handy, and double-check your hotel or chalet name as some Chamonix accommodation shares similar street addresses.
