Private Transfer

From Geneva airport to Gstaad along the lake, through the Gruyère and up the Pays-d'Enhaut. About two hours on the road, a chauffeur who knows the way and a rate fixed before you leave.

Geneva to Gstaad

Two languages, two cantons,
one road

Gstaad is about two hours from Geneva airport, and the drive crosses a border you barely notice, the language border. You leave Geneva and the canton of Vaud in French and arrive in Gstaad, part of the Bernese municipality of Saanen, where German is spoken. In between, the Pays-d'Enhaut and Château-d'Œx make the transition without you realising.

The usual route follows the lake to Lausanne, climbs to Bulle on the A12 motorway, then follows the Sarine valley through Château-d'Œx, Rougemont and Saanen. From the Valais side you can also come via Aigle and the Col du Pillon. Your chauffeur chooses according to the time of day, the weather and the state of the road.

The village itself guards its calm. The Promenade, its main street, is pedestrian, and each of the grand hotels has its own access for cars. Your chauffeur drops you at the right entrance, hotel or chalet, and leaves without lingering.

The route

Arriving in Gstaad

A discreet village
with an airfield next door

Gstaad has its own airfield at Saanen, used by light aircraft, private jets and helicopters. If you fly in there, the car waits at the aircraft, a few minutes from the village. If you land in Geneva, the road remains the simplest option, and we will be waiting.

By train, Gstaad sits on the scenic GoldenPass line, about an hour and thirty-five minutes from Montreux. We are happy to collect you from the station, or to drop you in Montreux for a return by train along the lake.

In summer the Menuhin Festival fills the churches of Saanen and the surrounding villages with concerts, and Gstaad changes pace without losing its calm. Transfers from Geneva are then booked as heavily as in February.

Your transfer options

Geneva airport to Gstaad: private transfer, taxi or shared shuttle?

Private transfer from Geneva airport to Gstaad

A Geneva to Gstaad transfer with My Private Service is a private car for your party only, a chauffeur waiting in the arrivals hall, on the Swiss or the French side as you prefer with your name, and a rate fixed in writing before you travel. The drive stays in Switzerland, about two hours via Lausanne, Bulle and the Pays-d'Enhaut, with published fares from 589 CHF in an E-Class.

Taxi Geneva to Gstaad, shared shuttle or private chauffeur?

A taxi from Geneva airport to Gstaad runs on the meter and is rarely equipped for the mountain. Shared coach and shuttle transfers leave on a timetable, stop at other resorts and wait for other flights. The train from Geneva to Gstaad is a fine ride via Montreux and the GoldenPass line, but it takes about three hours with changes and leaves you at the station with your skis. A private airport transfer leaves when you land and drops you at the door, which on a Saturday in February makes the difference.

Minibus, van and group ski transfers to Gstaad

For a family or a group of friends, the Mercedes V-Class takes seven passengers with skis and luggage; larger groups travel in two or three vehicles leaving together. The same private ski transfer serves the hotels, the chalets and Gstaad, Saanen, Schönried, Saanenmöser and Rougemont.

Gstaad to Geneva airport: the return transfer

We run the Gstaad to Geneva transfer in both directions. For the return, your chauffeur sets the pick-up time from the road conditions and your flight, so the transfer time from Gstaad to Geneva airport is never a gamble. Ask for a return quote and both legs are confirmed together.

Transfer cost, transfer time, distance from Geneva to Gstaad or simply how to get from Geneva to Gstaad: send us the date, your flight and the number of passengers, and you receive a firm price and your chauffeur's name.
