Crossing the Swiss border by private transfer: What travellers need to know

Travelling to the Alps for a ski holiday often involves crossing international borders. Because Switzerland is situated right in the centre of some of Europe’s most famous ski regions, many holidaymakers land at airports in neighbouring countries, such as France, Italy, or Austria, before taking a private transfer up to Swiss resorts. Similarly, landing at Geneva Airport in Switzerland and taking a transfer across the border into French resorts like Chamonix, Morzine, or Avoriaz is a very common route.

The A40 motorway, famously known as the “Autoroute Blanche” (the White Highway), is the primary arterial road that connects the lowlands of France and Geneva Airport with the spectacular peaks of the Chamonix Valley.
