Chamonix Indulgence / Ski Chalet Saphir Directions

Driving Directions from Geneva – Cointrin Airport to Chalet Saphir

There is only one way to leave the airport from the Swiss side. Follow signs for France (in green) and keep following them the whole way.
Special Note: You will pay two tolls on the way to Chamonix totaling nearly 6 Euros. Foreign currencies are not accepted as payment.

• Go through 4 sets of traffic lights. At the 5th set of lights, turn left

• Immediately get into the right hand lane and take a quick right turn at the signed marked France (this is the A40 motorway but is not marked as such).

• You will take this all the way in to the Chamonix Valley, so keep following the signs for France and then the signs for the Chamonix/Mont Blanc tunnel. After approx. 55 miles on the highway you will cross a large, very long bridge before passing through 2 tunnels. You are now entering the Chamonix Valley.

• Continue along this dual carriageway; go straight across the next roundabout (2nd exit goes to the Mont Blanc tunnel and Italy) following signs for Chamonix centre-ville.

• Continue straight across the next two roundabouts

• You will cross over a rail way line (with barriers) 200m after the last roundabout. After another 200m you will come to another roundabout, take the first exit right.

• Continue along this road for about 3 kilometers until you come to a funny shaped roundabout with a church on the left hand side. Take the second exit which goes straight ahead.

• Continue along this road; after 200m on your left you will pass the turn into the Chamonix golf course, after another 400 meters you will come to the end of the golf course and you will see a turn on your left with 3 large circular rubbish bins on it. Turn left here.

• Follow this single lane road for about 200 meters which bends left, right then left again. After this 2nd left bend the entrance to Chalet Saphir is directly in front of you.

• Park behind the chalet.
