Transfer Options for Val d'Isere
Discover the top Val d'Isere airport shuttle options
Val d'Isère is just under three hours from Geneva Airport. You could hire a car, but with so many transfer companies running shuttles to the resort, why not take it easy and let someone else do the work?
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
Transfer prices in Val d'Isère
The price of a one-way transfer from Geneva Airport to resort starts at around €70, going up to €450 for a private transfer.

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 transfers
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 Val d'Isère 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.
