FAQs About Our Geneva to Avoriaz Transfers
Types of Transfers To Avoriaz
A shared transfer is a great option for solo passengers, couples or larger groups on lower budgets. It means you may or may not be sharing with clients on similarly timed flights, with up to 45 minutes between scheduled flight arrivals and up to 1hour between scheduled flight departures. If sharing with others we may go via their accommodation first if logistically theirs is before yours. Some flexibility from both parties may be needed.
A private transfer ensures that only your party (no matter how big or small) will be onboard, that we go directly to and from your accommodation, and that you’re not waiting for that ‘one last passenger’.
The Day Of Your Geneva to Avoriaz Transfer
If your flight is delayed, we will wait at the airport (up to 40 minutes on shared transfers and up to 1 hour on private transfers when/if possible) without extra payment due. After this time a charge of 20€ (Euros) per hour (per 8-seater used for the size of your group) or part thereof is required. If, due to time constraints (other bookings or factors out of our control), the driver cannot wait for the delayed flight, we will try to assist you with your onward journey on the next available transfer. If we have to put on another service to accommodate the delay then we will have to charge the full rate for that new transfer.
Flight delays are difficult for all parties concerned and are completely out of everyone’s control, so communication is key between the party leader and PowderCab to ease these situations. We deal with flight delays on a case by case basis. Please remember that flight delays are a headache for all concerned and that it is not PowderCab delaying the flight.
If you feel PowderCab has given you a good service (from the booking process through to getting you to your destination) & you have had a safe & enjoyable transfer, then please feel free to be generous to your driver.
You will receive an automated SMS at 15:00 on the day before your departure. If you do not receive this SMS, please contact us with your name and booking reference number.
In general, Geneva to Avoriaz transfers take approx 1 hour 40 minutes. Please keep in mind that transfer times can be affected by things such as snow, road conditions, traffic etc.
Arrival: Once you have gone through passport control and have collected your luggage, you will be met in arrivals (Swiss side) by your PowderCab driver. They will be wearing a black and yellow uniform holding up a PowderCab sign with your name on. If you can’t find them straight away simply go to the HUB N CO CAFE (just on the left as you come into the arrivals hall) and call our office on +33 (0)6 72 99 19 48. We will then send your driver to meet you there.
Departure: You will be sent an automated SMS at 15:00 the day before your return trip (from resort to the airport) which will indicate the time at which you will be collected (we usually like to get you at the airport 2 hours before your flight departure). Please be packed up and ready to leave at this time and actively look for your PowderCab minibus.

Children are more than welcome to jump on board and we can provide child booster cushions and baby seats free of charge upon request (by selecting this option on the booking form or informing our office team in your email).
Please feel free to bring your own if you so wish. As youngsters take up one passenger seat, unfortunately, we cannot offer child discounts. Children aged 3 years or over who are under 150cms in height and weighing less than 36 kilograms (i.e. generally children up to 11/12 years old) must use the correct child seat or booster cushion when travelling in passenger vehicles. Children under 3 years of age must have a rear or forward-facing baby seat. Simply let us know which one(s) you require.
All of our long wheel based vehicles are fully equipped to carry ski, snowboarding and bike equipment. However, please note on your booking form the amount of each piece of sports equipment you intend on bringing. We allow one piece of sports equipment and one general luggage bag per person as we cannot guarantee space for all passengers luggage if you are bringing more than this.
With Avoriaz being a pedestrianised town, there are 2 different places we can take you to, either Avoriaz (Top Station) or Avoriaz (Prodains).
Avoriaz (Top Station) is a about a 25 minute & 12km drive up 19 hairpin bends from Morzine from 1,000m up to 1,800m. At the top of this road is the Avoriaz Welcome Centre (Avoriaz Entrée) from where we drop you off & pick you up, and it is located next to the Falaise & Amara area. From here you can either walk (luggage sleighs are available to help with your bags, for which you need a refundable 1€ coin), or jump on a snow taxi (about 8€ between 6 people), or use a horse & sleigh (available during the day & costs depend on how far they have to take you).
Avoriaz (Prodains) is the Prodains Telecabine (a brand new super high-speed telecabine) based in the small hamlet of Prodains at the base of the Avoriaz cliffs, about a 5km drive from Morzine & at an altitude of 1,200m. It has the capacity to take over 2,000 people up and down every hour and takes under 5 minutes to get to the top. During the winter season, the telecabine runs from 07h00-21h00 Mon-Thurs, 07h00-24h00 Fri-Sat & 07h00-22h00 on Sun. The telecabine is included in the Avoriaz & PDS day/weeks ski pass. If you are going up or down as a foot passenger with or without luggage then the price is 7.20€ pp (child discounts apply for under 16′s & kids under 5 years travel for free.
We are quite flexible regarding payments & accept the following methods:
– Credit card payments in full (Visa, MasterCard, Carte Bleue).
– BACS (please ask for further details).
Bookings & payments can easily be made directly & securely online via our bookings page & you will receive 2 automatic email confirmations; one with a summary of your transfer details, a booking reference number & a receipt/invoice, & the other a payment confirmation email.
Or contact us directly & we will email you a payment link directing you to our secure online payment page.
When paying securely online with your credit card, your card issuer or bank may have previously given you some sort of secure/verification code in order to complete online transactions. Please have this ready to ensure a smooth online payment process.
