Alternatives to Airport Transfers

Public transport alternatives

While STT airport transfers offer the most direct and convenient route to your accommodation, other transport options are available, though often less direct or convenient, especially with luggage.

Bus and Shuttle Services

Scheduled bus services operate from nearby transport hubs like Cluses train station. However, there are generally no direct public bus routes from Geneva Airport to Les Gets, requiring changes. This option is typically less convenient with luggage and does not offer door-to-door service. You might have to walk from the bus stop to your hotel. You can often book a ticket online for these services.

Train Connections

The closest train station is Cluses. From major cities like Paris or Geneva Cornavin train station, you can take a train to Cluses and then arrange a local bus or taxi to Les Gets.

Self-Drive Option

Car Rental Considerations

Hiring a car at the airport provides flexibility, but navigating potentially snowy mountain roads and finding parking in Les Gets can be challenging, especially during peak ski season. Eco-conscious travellers might consider this option, though our shared transfers offer a more environmentally friendly alternative.
