By air: from Geneva Airport – Swiss side

Always try and hire your car from the Swiss side, it is much easier than from the French side as you are given a car with a permit to drive on the Swiss motorways.

Exit airport turning right on to the dual carriage way.  After a few 100 yards you will see a turning to the left marked to the French motorway, turn left and keep following signs to the French motorway.  This will bring you through the Swiss frontier and you will join the A40 in France.  Follow signs to Chamonix, Mont Blanc Tunnel & TurinS .
