There are two main routes to Val Thorens from Geneva: along Lake Annecy (very scenic and pleasant road, distance 155 km) or along highways A41 and A43 (regular high-speed autobahns, distance 201 km). Travel time on both routes is about 3 hours, but on weekends or holidays there are traffic jams very often and the route time can increase up to 5-6 hours.

Ski resorts in the French Alps are a very popular tourist destination in winter, and at every Geneva airport you will find many taxis that will take you to the 3 Valleys. Transport links between resorts and airports are also developed, but there are no direct trains and buses, you will have to make several transfers. If you are not ready to overpay for a Swiss taxi, or if you value your time and you have a lot of luggage in order to travel by bus, we suggest you order a transfer.
We offer a wide range of options for transfers to Val Thorens: Economy class cars, a large comfortable car for a trip with a family, a spacious bus for a large group of tourists, or a Premium class car for the trip of the most demanding passengers. Our driver will meet you at the airport waiting area. It keeps track of your aircraft's actual arrival time, delay or early arrival. In the event that you are traveling with children, we will install child seats in the car (they are included in the transfer price). In all cars you can use Wi-Fi.
The price is fixed at the time of booking the transfer, it can only change if you leave the airport for more than 1 hour from the moment the flight arrives or if you want to visit additional locations along the transfer route. Weather conditions, the location of the hotel, the amount of luggage and traffic on the roads will not affect the final amount. Transportation of ski equipment is included in the transfer price.

You can pay your transfer in several ways. Do not forget that few services are included in the cost of the trip.
How to pay for the transfer:
The transfer price includes:
Taxi is a common but very expensive way to get to Val Thorens. A trip from Geneva will cost you between 400 and 550 euro. It is difficult to predict the final cost in advance - for example, the cost of landing depends on the time of day and holidays. In addition, you pay extra for the presence of a child seat, a seat for the fourth passenger and for a pet if you decide to take a pet with you on vacation. Luggage and equipment are also paid separately.
Taxi drivers don't often speak English, so if you're not French, you might have trouble communicating with the taxi driver. Often taxis can be paid by card, but this is subject to an additional charge. To avoid unnecessary unpleasant expenses, it is much more profitable to pre-order a transfer from Geneva to Val Thorens and back. At the airport at the right time you will be met by a Russian-speaking driver. The fixed price will not change depending on the time of day, the number of passengers and the presence of a baby in the company. Luggage and equipment will also be delivered to your hotel free of charge. And also, if you wish, when ordering a return transfer, you can ask to identify a driver you already know.

Val Thorens is characterized by high-level recreation, hotels here are at least 3 stars and it is quite difficult to find an inexpensive hotel, but the prices correspond to a high level of service.
Val Thorens is the highest resort in Western Europe, located in the vast and well-known ski area of the Three Valleys (Trois Vallees). The resort is great for skiing fans of all stripes, but not great for those who don't ski at all. There are no cars in Val Thorens - the resort is located right on the slopes, and at the entrance to the station the car must be left in the parking lot. Over the years of its existence, Val Thorens has evolved from a soulless station to a few cabins by the ski lift into a pretty pretty village.
Recommended for: riders of all levels, from beginners to experts, families, lovers of freeride, mountain restaurants, guaranteed snow, skiing to the door Not recommended: for lovers of nightlife, exclusive shopping and apres-ski, those who do not tolerate long transfers and serpentine, do not adapt well to altitude and cold, non-skiers

The young chef studied and practiced with the stars of world gastronomy, such as Marc Veyra, Edouard Loubet, Pierre Ganer, Ferran Adrito and others, settled in Val Thorens four years ago. "He is a real culinary researcher and inventor. His unexpected cuisine is a delicate game with meat, local Savoyard fish and forgotten vegetables, such as the Jerusalem artichoke, rutabaga, squash, etc.) The chef enthusiastically studies the taste of various wild herbs, experiments with seasonal fruits and every time he prepares the most unexpected dishes in a new way in a cozy chalet, "- talking about him frequent guests of the restaurant.
Another amazing restaurant, l'Epicurien, has recently opened in the four-star residence of Village Montana. The main concept is a culinary journey across all five continents.

Mike met us at the Geneva airport in the evening. Calmly and carefully took us to Val Thorens in 3 hours. There were child seats in the car for my daughters, and water bottles in the doors. Two weeks later, we left in the same car in the morning. I recommend this service to you!

We were worried about being picked up at the airport, cause it was the first time we booked a transfer on this site. But everything was very well. The driver met us with a sign, his Whatsapp was sent to us in advance. We got to the hotel quickly and comfortably.
