Avoriaz is car-free, so getting there works a little differently to most ski resorts. Your transfer from Geneva takes you up to the resort entrance at 1,800 metres, and from there sleighs, snowcats and luggage sledges cover the last stretch to your accommodation. Here is how it works, so the start of your Avoriaz ski holiday is as easy as the skiing.

Avoriaz - Geneva airport transfers

Arriving in a car-free ski resort

Cars stop at the top of the Route d'Avoriaz. Your driver drops you at the Avoriaz arrivals centre, the resort's reception at the village entrance, open 24 hours with staff on hand, a heated waiting room and luggage storage on Saturdays.

From there, horse-drawn sleighs run as taxis during the day and snowcats take over after dark, carrying you and your bags to your accommodation. Just order one at reception and pay the driver locally. Travelling light? Self-service luggage sledges let you walk it yourself through the snowy streets, which is half the fun.

Depending on where you are staying, we can also drop you at the Prodains Express cable car in the valley below, a four-minute ride up the cliff into the resort. We will advise on the best drop-off point for your accommodation when you book.

Top 5 tips for your airport transfer to Avoriaz

1. Book early
Secure your airport transfer well in advance, especially for Christmas and February half term, when last-minute availability can be extremely limited.

2. Pack for the last leg
Your bags travel the final stretch by sleigh, snowcat or sledge, so keep luggage closed and compact, and wear boots with good grip for the walk through the village.

3. Consider a private transfer
If you are travelling in a group, a private transfer can be cost-effective and much more convenient, with no waiting for other passengers or extra drop-offs along the way.

4. Allow extra time on Saturdays
Saturday is changeover day across the Portes du Soleil, and the climb up from Morzine can be slow in heavy snow. Bring snacks and water, and use the airport facilities before you set off.

5. Plan your departure day
On Saturday mornings resort staff circulate outside the residences to collect departing guests and their luggage. Leaving before 9am or after 11am avoids the busiest window, and give yourself time to reach the arrivals centre before your pickup.

Frequently asked questions

Can I be dropped at the Prodains Express instead?

Yes. Depending on where you are staying, it can be easier to be dropped at the Prodains Express cable car in the valley below Avoriaz, a four-minute ride up into the resort. Tell us your accommodation when you book and we will advise on the best drop-off point.

Can I book an Avoriaz transfer if I am not staying with Atlas Ski Co?

Yes. Our transfers are available to everyone, whether or not you have booked accommodation with Atlas Ski Co. The price is the same for all guests, £280 each way per vehicle to Avoriaz for up to 8 passengers. Transfers are subject to availability, so book early.

Can I drive to Avoriaz?

You can drive up, but you cannot drive into the resort. Cars are left in the car parks at the resort entrance for the duration of your stay, which carries a daily or weekly charge, and winter tyres or snow chains are required on the mountain roads in winter. A private transfer avoids parking costs and the drive up in snow.

Can I get a bus or train from Geneva Airport to Avoriaz?

There is no train station in Avoriaz. The nearest stations are Cluses and Thonon-les-Bains, with buses and taxis on to the valley and the Prodains Express. Seasonal buses also run from Geneva Airport towards Morzine and Avoriaz. These are the cheapest options but are slower and not ideal with ski equipment or young children.

How do I get my luggage from the arrivals centre to my accommodation?

The Avoriaz arrivals centre is open 24 hours with staff on hand. Order a sleigh or snowcat taxi at reception and it will carry you and your bags to your building. If you are travelling light, self-service luggage sledges are available for a small coin deposit. Keep bags closed and compact so they travel safely on the snow vehicles.

How does departure day work in Avoriaz?

On Saturday mornings, resort staff circulate outside the residences to collect departing guests and their luggage and take them to the arrivals centre. Leaving before 9am or after 11am avoids the busiest period. On other days, book a snow taxi through reception. Allow enough time to reach the arrivals centre before your transfer pickup.

How long does the transfer from Geneva Airport to Avoriaz take?

Avoriaz is around 90 km from Geneva Airport. A private transfer usually takes 1 hour 30 to 1 hour 45 minutes in normal conditions. Allow up to 2 hours or more on busy Saturday changeover days or in heavy snow, as the final climb from Morzine can be slow.

How much is a private transfer from Geneva Airport to Avoriaz?

Atlas Ski Co private transfers to Avoriaz cost £280 each way (£560 return). The price is per vehicle, not per person, and covers up to 8 passengers in a private 8-seater VW Caravelle, with no hidden costs. Private transfers are subject to availability. If we are fully booked, our partner Skiidy Gonzales can provide the private transfer instead.

Is the transfer door to door in Avoriaz?

Not quite, because Avoriaz is car-free. Your driver takes you to the Avoriaz arrivals centre at the resort entrance, which is as close as any vehicle can get. From there, horse-drawn sleighs (by day) and snowcats (after dark) take you and your luggage to your accommodation, or you can use a self-service luggage sledge and walk. Sleighs and snowcats are ordered at reception and paid locally.

Is there a shared transfer option to Avoriaz?

Yes. A shared transfer puts you on a vehicle with other travellers. It is cheaper per person but can involve waiting at the airport and several drop-offs. We arrange shared transfers through our partner Skiidy Gonzales. For groups, our private transfer is often better value and avoids the waiting.
