Geneva to Les Carroz
Private Transfer
From Geneva airport to Les Carroz, the balcony village of the Grand Massif, in about an hour and ten minutes. A private chauffeur, a car equipped for the mountain road and a rate fixed before you travel.
A real village
on the Grand Massif
Les Carroz d'Arâches sits at 1,140 metres on a sunny shelf above the Arve valley, with a gondola up to the Grand Massif, the ski area it shares with Flaine, Samoëns, Morillon and Sixt. From Geneva airport it is about 65 kilometres, an hour and ten minutes on a clear day.
The village is spread along the road that continues to Flaine, with chalets on the lanes above and below. Give us the exact address and the car stops at your door rather than at the tourist office.

How long is the transfer from Geneva to Les Carroz?
Allow about 1h10 for the 65 km from Geneva airport to Les Carroz on clear roads. On winter Saturdays, changeover day, allow 30 to 60 minutes more for the border crossing and the valley road. Your chauffeur tracks your flight, so the drive only starts when you walk out of arrivals.
from Geneva airport
on clear roads, approx.
on winter Saturdays
Les Carroz is a village first and a resort second: shops, bakeries and the church are on the main street, the lifts at the top of the village. Many chalets are on steep lanes above the road, which is why a car that knows them saves the last twenty minutes on foot with skis.
From November to the end of March, the French mountain law requires four 3PMSF winter tyres or chains in the boot in the listed communes of Haute-Savoie, Savoie and Isère, with a 135 euro fine otherwise. Our cars are equipped for the whole season.

Which route does the chauffeur take from Geneva to Les Carroz?
The A40 motorway from Geneva to Cluses, then the D106 up through Arâches-la-Frasse to Les Carroz, about 13 kilometres of mountain road.
Is Les Carroz linked to Flaine?
Yes. The gondola from Les Carroz reaches the Grand Massif ski area, shared with Flaine, Samoëns, Morillon and Sixt.
Can you pick us up at Cluses station?
Yes. The transfer can leave from Geneva airport, from Geneva Cornavin station or from the Cluses railway station in the valley.
How much is a private transfer from Geneva airport to Les Carroz?
The price depends on the car, the date and the number of passengers. It is fixed per vehicle, not per person, with taxes, tolls and waiting time included. Send us your flight and you receive the exact rate in writing before you book.
Do you offer a taxi from Geneva airport to Les Carroz?
We are a private chauffeur service rather than a taxi rank: the car is booked in advance, the rate is fixed and the chauffeur waits for you whatever the delay. On this route it replaces the taxi and the shared shuttle for most travellers.
Can you take a group with skis from Geneva to Les Carroz?
Yes. The Mercedes V-Class takes seven passengers with their cases and ski equipment; beyond that we send two or three vehicles together. Tell us the number of passengers and pairs of skis when you ask for the quote.
What is the transfer time from Geneva to Les Carroz on a Saturday?
Count an hour and a half to two hours rather than an hour and ten: the border and the A40 slow down on changeover days. Your chauffeur follows the traffic and adjusts the pick-up time.

Private transfer from Geneva airport to Les Carroz
A Geneva to Les Carroz transfer with My Private Service is a private car for your party only, a chauffeur waiting in the arrivals hall with your name, and a rate fixed in writing before you travel. Les Carroz is about an hour and ten minutes from Geneva airport by the A40 to Cluses and the D106 through Arâches, with no motorway toll on the French side beyond Cluses.
Taxi Geneva to Les Carroz, shared shuttle or private chauffeur?
A Geneva taxi charges Swiss rates for a French mountain road and is rarely fitted for snow. Shared shuttles run on fixed slots and stop in Flaine and Samoëns as well. The bus from Cluses station is useful but does not carry you to the chalet. A private transfer leaves when you land and drops you at the door.
Minibus, van and group ski transfers to Les Carroz
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 chalets and residences of Les Carroz, Arâches and the Flaine road.
Les Carroz to Geneva airport: the return transfer
We run the Les Carroz 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 Les Carroz to Geneva airport is never a gamble. Ask for a return quote and both legs are confirmed together.
