 Poster: A snowHead
|
Going to Samoens for the first time on 31 March and want to exhaust all cheaper avenues before parting with what seems like large $ to travel by shuttle from Geneva airport. The trip is just over an hour apparently and would prefer not to hire a car as haven’t driven in Europe before.. Has anyone done this trip by any combination of train/bus in less than say 2-3 hours? Getting into Geneva at a good time, just after 2pm and just 2 of us.
Any tips on this trip very welcome please

I haven't done it myself, but you can get from the airport to Cluses by train and bus, with a couple of changes. If you set the date and time of travel, Google maps will give you the routing. From there you can get a bus to Samoens. The train bit is 1 hr 50 mins so should be way under three in total. NB. If you put it into Google as a single trip from airport to Samoens it says it's not possible, so do it as two separate ones.
Alternatively, post on the Samoens FB page to see if anyone local can help.

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

If you have gear with you the €44 is not bad for airport to door service,
Train and bus combo probably gonna be north of €20 anyway

What made you think there are cheaper options when it comes to GVA? You're on holiday so factor the right budget and use Go Massif. You can try the other transfer companies but they are far less likely to know how to take you directly to your accommodation.

Using jet-alpine-transfers through findtransfers.com I've got private return transfer GVA-Samoens for 4 people for €315.00.
Go Massif didn't have private option and wanted €286 for shared transfer, meaning posible waiting and other drop-offs . I rather pay the extra €30 (between 4) for door-door private.

With Kiwitaxi Ski https://kiwitaxi.com/en/ski/, you can pre-book a car that will fit your entire company + luggage and equipment. The driver will track your flight arrival time and meet you at the airport with a name sign. In case you book a trip from the hotel, the driver will wait for you in the lobby at the agreed time. The cars are not older than 7 years, regularly undergo maintenance, and each driver is licensed to carry passengers.
The price is fixed — it will not change due to snowfall and traffic jams.
