Arrival Transfer From Geneva Airport to Val Thorens

Saturday 13th March 2027

We're operating eight transfers for guests which take you directly to Val Thorens. They leave at 12:00, 12:30, 13:00, 14:00, 15:00, 16:00, 17:00 and 18:00

The transfer normally takes just under 3 hours (depending on traffic). If you arrive earlier than the allocated departure time of your transfer you may be able to take an earlier bus if there's space. Enquire about this at the EGSW welcome desk at the airport.

Please ensure that you allow sufficient time to catch your transfer. We recommend you allow no less than 60 – 90 minutes from your flight's arrival time to the departure time of your coach.

In the last couple of years there have been flight delays due to weather and security issues. As a result we have changed the way the transfers work with hourly departures from Geneva. To ensure that should there be delays everybody gets away as promptly as possible, we're reserving the right to allocate coach seats on a first come first serve basis.
