With an airport transfer:
- you’ll often be dropped right at your door
- you’ll save money over the cost of a hire car
- you normally won’t have to wait long at the airport to be picked up

If you want to pay less for your transfer
Try to:
- avoid travelling at peak weeks like Christmas, the February half term or the last week in August
- get a flight that lands in the middle of the day - it’ll often be easier for transfer companies to group more people together at that time
Shared vs private transfers
Shared transfers to Chamonix
You'll be on a bus with passengers arriving at the airport at a similar time to you.
These tend to be cheaper, although you might have to wait a little while before your bus leaves (typically not more than an hour).
If your transfer is a door-to-door service, you may also have to wait for other passengers to be dropped off in resort. On the plus side, you'll get to discover parts of Chamonix you didn't know existed.
Private transfers
You or your group travel alone.
With this type of transfer, there's no waiting around. You can leave the airport as soon as you've cleared customs. The down side is that this is a much more expensive way to travel, and private transfers are not always available.
Cheapest transfers to Chamonix
Bus and coach companies run transfers from Geneva airport to Chamonix.
These don’t always leave the airport as quickly as other transfer companies, but they’re great value. A one-way ticket starts from as little as €20.
Coach transfers won’t drop you at your door. They stop at the bus station in Cham Sud, which is right in the centre of town. From there you can get a connecting local bus, or walk - if your accommodation is nearby.
