Geneva to Avoriaz Transfer

A shared transfer starts from £62.00 per person. Private transfers start from £213 per vehicle (1-8 passengers). Prices vary by travel date and transfer type (private, shared, or luxury). Booking your transfer early, especially midweek, helps secure the best rate and guaranteed availability.

Yes. Avoriaz transfers operate to match the flight schedules. Whether you land late at night or depart early in the morning, we’ll arrange your transfer so you don’t have to worry about missing out on transport. Private transfers are especially popular for out-of-hours arrivals, but shared transfers also run at set times throughout the day and evening during the ski season.

Yes. You can book both one-way and return transfers. Many travellers fly into Geneva and return via Lyon or Chambéry, and Ski-Lifts makes it simple to book the combination that suits your trip. Just select one-way during the booking process for instant confirmation.

No, they’re quite different. Shared transfers are pre-booked services arranged around flight times, using smaller vehicles that carry passengers on similar schedules. They offer a faster, more direct journey and include luggage and ski carriage as standard.
In contrast, scheduled shuttle buses run on fixed timetables and may involve waiting at the airport, multiple stops, or limited service hours. These can be cheaper upfront, but less convenient, especially if your flight is delayed or you’re travelling with ski gear.

We recommend booking as early as possible, especially for peak dates such as Christmas, New Year, and February half-term. Early booking secures the best price and guarantees availability. Last-minute bookings may be possible depending on availability, but transfers do fill quickly in high season.

A typical transfer takes around 1 hour 40 minutes under normal conditions. Travel time can vary depending on traffic, weather, and snowfall. Because Avoriaz is a car-free resort, all transfers drop passengers at the Avoriaz Welcome Centre, from where it’s just a short sleigh, shuttle, or walk to your accommodation.

We offer a wide range of transfers to suit every group size and preference. Choose from private cars, eco-friendly vehicles, luxury cars, minibuses, coaches, and shared transfers. All our transfers are operated with modern, comfortable, and well-maintained vehicles, ensuring a safe and reliable journey to Avoriaz, whether you’re travelling solo, as a family, or in a larger group.

Yes. Avoriaz can be reached by public transport from Geneva. Most routes involve travelling towards Cluses or Thonon-les-Bains first, then continuing by local bus or taxi into the resort. There are also pre-bookable scheduled airport shuttles from Geneva which can be a cost-effective option (often from around £30 per person). These services run on fixed timetables with central drop-off points, so they may be less convenient if you have ski equipment, young children, or late-arriving flights.

Your Ski-Lifts driver will meet you on the Swiss side of Geneva Airport, in the arrivals hall, between the Brezelkönig café and UBS bank, opposite the cash machines. Simply follow the signs for “Swiss Sector” after collecting your baggage. Full details, photos, and a map are included in your booking confirmation and on our Geneva Airport meeting point guide.

All transfers to Avoriaz drop off and pick up at the Avoriaz Welcome Centre, located in the Falaise sector at the entrance to the resort. Because Avoriaz is completely car-free, this is the closest vehicles can go. From there, you can reach your accommodation by horse-drawn sleigh, snowcat taxi, shuttle bus, or on foot, making it one of the most charming arrivals in the Alps.

Yes. If you’ve booked a private transfer, you can request a short stop along the way (supermarket or picking up keys etc) but ensure that you have requested this at the time of booking or contacted us beforehand to confirm. For shared transfers, stops are not scheduled to keep journeys efficient and timely for all passengers.

Saturdays and school-holiday change-over days are the busiest travel times of the winter season. Roads can be slower, and airport wait times longer due to high passenger volumes. Transfers are scheduled to minimise waiting and congestion, but we always recommend allowing extra travel time, especially if you’re catching a return flight on a Saturday afternoon.

The most cost-effective option depends on how many people are travelling. For solo travellers and small groups, a shared transfer is usually the lowest-cost choice, with prices charged per person. For larger groups, a private transfer can often work out better value overall, as the cost is shared across the vehicle.
All transfers to Avoriaz finish at the Avoriaz Welcome Centre, the official vehicle access point for the car-free resort.

Avoriaz is a ski resort in the French Alps, set high above Morzine in the Portes du Soleil ski area. It sits close to the Swiss border and is around 95 km from Geneva Airport.

Yes. The resort has dedicated beginner areas, highly regarded ski schools, family accommodation, and a car-free centre which makes getting around safer and easier with children.

Yes. Avoriaz is one of Europe’s most snowboard-friendly resorts, with several snow parks, boardercross areas, and wide, well-groomed slopes. The largely ski-in/ski-out layout also reduces the need for flat walks.

Alongside skiing and snowboarding, visitors can enjoy the Aquariaz alpine water park, snowshoeing, sledging, restaurants, bars, spas, and winter events. In summer, hiking, mountain biking, and outdoor activities are popular.

January to March typically offers the most reliable snow conditions. The resort’s high altitude (around 1,800m) and access to the Portes du Soleil ski area usually ensure good coverage throughout the winter season.

Most accommodation is ski-in/ski-out or very close to the slopes, but not every property offers direct slope access. It’s worth checking the exact location when booking.
