Arrivals
To calculate which shuttle time to book on your outgoing journey, Simply Transfers advises that you allow at least one hour after your flight arrival time at Geneva airport to get through customs. If you have ski or snowboard equipment, allowing an additional 30 minutes is recommended.
Departures

Private Transfers
For arrivals into other airports such as Lyon or Chambery, or travel outside of the times above, we can assist with organising private transfers on your behalf.
Private transfers also offer added convenience and flexibility for larger groups that can fill a minibus. We work with several companies who operate private, direct services from all airports straight to/from your chalet door. Please bear in mind that you will not be met by a Chardons representative on these journeys.
Private minibuses usually seat up to eight people. If there are more than 16 people in your travel party, a private coach is recommended. Chardons are also able to organise this on your behalf with our partner companies.
To obtain a quote for private minibus or coach services, please contact us ahead of your holiday with the following information and we’ll be happy to help:
- Full name and contact details of lead booker
- Number of guests in your travel party
- Age of any children and details of any special requirements (e.g. Car Seats)
- The flight number and times for each flight
- Confirmation of your depature and arrival aiports for each flight
