How fast do you drive?!  I'd have said 45min at best, and that's from the closest side of Geneva, not the airport - especially now there are often lower speed restrictions in place on the Autoroute Blanche for pollution

@fixx, what's your recommendation for the best transfer company Geneva-Chamonix?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Eeek, that's a loaded question 
Mountain Dropoffs - great, friendly lot. Easy to deal with, always on time, and good value - my number one choice.
HATE Alpybus after they changed my booking once with no notice, and were very rude about it. ChamExpress - fine, but no need to pay their prices most of the time.
I do frequently use Easybus too - depending on where I need to be and when. I've never personally had an issue with them, over many journeys - but I've heard the horror stories. I'd not use them with tight timings, late night runs, or when I have heavy luggage and want a door to door service. But the rest of the time - no problem. I'm booked with them in a couple of weeks, as there's no serious time pressure either way if they're running a bit late.

ChamExpress=EasyBus
We recommend Alpybus and Haute Transfer. CVT have nice looking vans.

With hand luggage only, Europcar speedy collection and a motorway toll fob... then yes.

@bar shaker, from wheels down? No chance. 30 mins min just to get to the rental desk.

Did a weekend (Friday night to Sunday night) at Led Contamines this year.
There's a report on here. Easily drivable from Geneva.
Don't know about the nightlife but skiing would be suitable for your group.
|
Clearly I love Les Contamines but I couldn't honestly recommend it to someone who said nightlife was a priority!
Weekend convenience and mix of skiing for a mixed ability group - sure. Oh and if Megeve skiing is quiet versus Morzine and Chamonix (probably fair) then Les Contamines is very quiet.
