• This route avoids the centre of Geneva and is usually quicker though about 14km longer. The toll cost is the same as driving through Geneva city centre. The route is about 100km and should take no more than an hour. You will need around a total of €6 for the two péage (toll) points for a normal car . All major credit cards are accepted 24/7 but don’t get money from – Swiss Francs are no use!

• To summarise, follow the signs to and once in France, follow the signs to Mont-Blanc. It couldn’t be easier but to be a bit more specific…

• On leaving the airport join the main road, Route De Pré-Bois . Follow the green motorway signs to France along a straight road for about 1km.

• Immediately move into the right lane (bus lane) and turn right down the slip road.

• Once in France follow the signs Chamonix Mont-Blanc (slip road on the right).
