Your Transfer: What to Expect

Pickup: Your driver collects you from your hotel, apartment, or any address in Lausanne at the time you specify. No need to drag luggage to a train station or navigate public transport.

The Route: Your driver crosses into France from the Lake Geneva area and follows the A41 south through the green foothills of Haute-Savoie. The descent to Annecy reveals the pristine lake — often called the purest in Europe — and the pastel-coloured old town with its famous canals.

Duration & Traffic: Under normal conditions the drive takes approximately 1h 12m. The A41 is fast through Haute-Savoie. The Swiss-French border is seamless. Summer weekends can bring heavier traffic approaching Annecy's lakefront.
