Travel & Transfers
Meeting point: Geneva International Airport
In order to enable quick and reliable transfers and to support flexible arrival times for our customers there will be a single designated meeting point for the arrivals transfer service. This is at Geneva International Airport. With a 15mins transfer time to France and our starting point, Geneva Airport is convenient for arriving flights from Europe and further affield and is also easily accessible by train.
Geneva’s international airport just 5km northwest of the city on the
French border at Cointrin, has to be one of the best-designed in the
world. With just 200m walking distance from plane to train, it needn’t
take more than half-an-hour from touchdown for you to be done with all
the formalities and heading into the city. There’s only one terminal,
replete with English-language signing. The tourist information
and airport information desks (both daily 6am–midnight) are in plain
view, offering free maps and advice and hotel reservations boards (with
complimentary phone). To the left of tourist information is a revolving
door giving access into the adjacent CFF train station.
