Annecy sits in French Haute-Savoie, roughly 45 kilometres from Geneva Airport, so it is one of the quickest international transfers from Geneva. Expect around 50 minutes, including the border crossing.
From the airport the road leaves Switzerland through the French side of the border and joins the A41 motorway south toward Annecy. The final approach brings you to the lake, the old town canals and the hills that frame the water, which many visitors consider the prettiest arrival of any Alpine city this close to Geneva.
Roads stay open all winter, and snow here is a matter of occasional slow traffic rather than closures. The real seasonal factor is summer: weekends in July and August and the lakeside streets fill with visitors, so your chauffeur chooses the best approach and drop-off point for your hotel.
You cross from Switzerland into France by road, so carry a valid passport or identity card for every passenger, including children. Checks at this border are usually brief, and your chauffeur knows the crossing and its quieter hours.
Your chauffeur tracks your flight, loads your luggage and drives you straight to your hotel or residence. The car is quiet enough to work in, and you arrive without having handled a rental contract, a motorway toll or a parking machine.
