A Brief Guide to Geneva Airport in Summer
Located 4km northwest of the city centre, Geneva International Airport serves as a major gateway to the numerous surrounding ski resorts. With a location running along the Swiss-French border, Geneva Airport has terminals that can be accessed from both countries. This location makes Geneva a popular transport hub for travelling to ski resorts in both France and Switzerland.
An influx of low-cost flights from the UK and Europe has seen Geneva Airport become arguably the most important flight centre for skiers and snowboarders. During the winter season, thousands of travellers take advantage of cheap commercial flights and charter flights from tour operators to arrive and depart in Geneva.
Onward travel to Swiss ski resorts is possible via car or train, but perhaps the most popular destinations from Geneva airport lie within France. Big-name resorts like Chamonix and Morzine are approximately one hour by private transfer, while Val Thorens, Meribel & Val Thorens lie around a three-hour drive away.
