Morning All
Hope everyone is good. It's just 4 weeks till my Chamonix trip, most excited!
We arrive in Geneva at 3pm. There are 3 of us travelling.
We want to get to Chamonix ASAP. On that basis, I was thinking that maybe Shared transfer does not make sense, as we would be forced to wait for others. I was thinking AlpyBus for shared?
Unless anyone knows of shared transfers that might not leave us sat around waiting, then I will book private.
Thanks

With three of you it would probably be cheaper hiring a car.

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

If you’ve got the cash to spare, then sure, private transfer will be good. But if you’re arriving mid afternoon on a weekend in high season I wouldn’t have thought it takes much to fill a minibus so I doubt you’d wait particularly long for a shared transfer.

You'll need to Register first of course.

Possibly - and could be useful for getting up and down the valley - but it'll be busy (French school hols) so unless your accommodation provides parking, you will probably have to pay to leave it somewhere. A car can be a pain, sometimes.

@rossyl, private transfer is rather expensive just to get to the pub faster. It's not as though you are missing out on any skiing. And there's a bar or two in the airport...

@rossyl, apart from those mentioned above, others offering transfers from GVA include:
getawayvans.com
magic-transfers.com
CoolBus
SkiidyGonzalez.com
If affordable, a car is handy for Chamonix Valley and other nearby areas if you wanted to visit, eg Evasion Mont Blanc, Courmayeur.
Otherwise I doubt a private transfer is worth the extra cost.

Depends when you are going. If I fly in for a long weekend and can't be bothered with car hire I tend to opt for shared plus option that is a mid point between shared and private. Never had a long wait.

Does the easyJet bus still operate? That was cheap.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

We recommend Haute Transfers.

You know it makes sense.

@anderoo, oops, Apols if that’s the case. I thought they covered all major areas from GVA.

^This. Since by that time there'll be no skiing to be done I don't get the urgency

We used alpy bus shared transfer option. Left the airport about 50mins after we landed. So not too much waiting around after getting bags from the hold.

@PeakyB, nope. Skiidy f'rinstance only do Morzine-Avoriaz. Never heard of the others (we live partially in Chamonix).
