Taxi & Transfers from Megeve to Geneva

How to Get from Megève to Geneva

We’ve gathered the main ways to get from Megève to Geneva. Cost — from around €11 with public transport to about €240 with a taxi or private transfer. Travel time? Between 1 hour 15 minutes and 2.5 hours depending on your route.

The distance is around 70 km. Sounds close, but when you're in the Alps, roads twist and weather matters. Booking a taxi-transfer from Megève to Geneva helps avoid delays, detours, or missed connections — especially in ski season.

By Bus

This is a popular and fairly direct option. Operators like AlpyBus run frequent shuttles between Megève and Geneva city. The ride takes about 1 hour 30 minutes and costs from €20 if booked early.

Buses are clean and reliable, but shared. Luggage space can be tight when ski season peaks. Good option if you’re solo or with light bags and want to save money.

But if you're traveling early or late in the day, check schedules — frequency drops outside of winter weekends.

By Train

No direct train from Megève. You’ll first need to take a local bus to Sallanches, then a TER or Léman Express train to Geneva. The whole journey takes about 2.5 hours, including transfers.

Tickets start from about €11, depending on timing and booking site. It’s scenic and peaceful — when things run on time.

Still, not ideal with bulky ski bags, kids, or if you’re watching the clock. Connections can get missed if your bus is delayed.

By Taxi

Taking a taxi from Megève to Geneva is direct and stress-free. The trip takes around 1 hour 15 minutes on clear roads. Taxis are easy to book, and many hotels can arrange them for you.

The fare typically ranges from €180 to €240, depending on vehicle size, time of day, and road conditions. Be sure to ask about the price in advance — and if card payment is possible.

Good for last-minute departures, family travel, or if you just don’t want to juggle schedules.

By Private Transfer

If you're looking for the most relaxed way to reach Geneva, book a private taxi-transfer with Kiwitaxi. The driver picks you up at your chalet or hotel, loads your luggage, and drives you straight to your destination — no stops, no stress.

Shared transfers start from €32 per person. Private rides begin at €180 per car. You can choose your vehicle class, request extras like child seats, or book for pets too. English-speaking drivers are available on request.

This is a calm and smart option, especially when your schedule is tight or the weather looks unpredictable. It just works.

Vehicle Classes for Your Transfer

• Economy – for 1–2 passengers
• Comfort – for families and couples with luggage
• Minivan – for groups, extra luggage, or ski gear
• Business – for those who prefer more space and quiet

Traveling with Children

Getting from Megève to Geneva with kids? It’s a lot — stairs, skis, and grumpy toddlers aren’t a great mix. Public transport might save euros, but it can drain energy fast.

With Kiwitaxi, you pre-book a car with child seats. The driver arrives on time, helps with bags, and gets you there in one ride — door to door. It’s quieter, faster, and way more peaceful.

Traveling with Pets

Ski shuttles and trains aren’t always pet-friendly. Even when they are, rules change and some drivers turn you away.

Book a private transfer and bring your pet with no surprises. Just check the “traveling with animals” option when booking — and that’s it. You ride together in comfort.

What to Do First in Geneva

When you arrive in Geneva, take a minute. It’s a city that feels calm — lake views, clean streets, and trams sliding quietly past.

Start with a walk along the lakeside. Grab a snack at Parc des Bastions or go straight for coffee in the Old Town. It’s a mix of alpine calm and big-city charm.

And if your ride from Megève was smooth and easy? You’ll feel it. Arriving relaxed makes Geneva even better.
