How to get from Geneva Airport to Les Arcs

The route between Geneva airport and Les Arcs ski resort is interesting in that there is a shortest route, and also a fastest route – but they are not necessarily the same. Equally, the best route to take can depend on where traffic is building up on any particular date and therefore it is important to listen to local advice when planning your journey.

Getting to Les Arcs from Geneva airport always starts the same – going around Geneva city itself and heading towards the Swiss/French border. Once in France, the A41 highway takes drivers towards the city of Annecy – where the two routes diverge. For the shortest route transfers will head towards the huge Lake Annecy and go around the south-west side of the lake towards Albertville. This portion of the journey is done on smaller roads where traffic can back up at busy times, and this is why it can work out as a longer journey time.

Those people interested more in speed rather than mileage will continue on the A41 at Annecy and travel south towards Chambery before heading east to Albertville (where the two routes join up again). Despite adding some 40km to the journey, the fact that you are travelling on fast toll roads (and paying for the privilege) means the journey time is usually quicker than going round Lake Annecy.

No matter the route, the last part of the journey is always going to be on the N90 through the bottom of the Tarentaise Valley to Bourg St Maurice. From here it is a 35-45 minute drive up the mountain depending on where you are staying in Les Arcs.
