Geneva airport transfers to Les Arcs
Geneva to Les Arcs transfer time = between 2h15 – 2h30 (weather/traffic dependent)
Distance from Geneva airport = approximately 214 km
Private transfers from Geneva Airport
Private transfers from Geneva to Les Arcs can be so much more comfortable than waiting for a bus, train or a shared journey. Our private transfer buses will be at Geneva airport waiting for you when your plane has landed, ready to take you to your accommodation in Les Arcs.
We check impending flight arrival times and try our best to be there, even if you are early.
With a private transfer you and your group can sit back and relax, knowing you are in the safe hands of 1st Lifts transfer drivers. Even catching up with some shut eye on the way!
Private transfers are really cost effective if there are up to 8 of you in the group. There are 8 available seats in each of our modern, comfortable vans. We can take groups of adults, or families including children.
Geneva airport transfers with children
When you book with us we always ask the ages of the group. That way are well prepared with child seats for the transfer from Geneva.
Booster seats and baby seats are available on request.
Geneva to Les Arcs: the route
Usually we take the main toll road from Geneva to Chambery, called the A41. Then we join the A43, leading to the A430 towards Albertville. At Albertville we join the N90, where we will start to drive up the Tarentaise valley and you can admire the mountains spotting Mont Blanc and getting really excited for your ski or bike holiday!
If there is a problem on any of the main roads, we have two alternatives to Albertville: the A40 or D1508. Although we will avoid going through towns if we can help it, as we want to get you to your destination as soon as possible.
We drop you as close to your accommodation as we can get, making your journey so much easier with all that gear.
Geneva to Les Arcs transfers, supermarket stop
We know of a great place on the way to Les Arcs to pick up some croissants, a Quiche Lorraine, freshly cooked pizza and have a cup of coffee if you are feeling a bit peckish after your flight.
By prearrangement we can also take you to SuperU in Albertville or the new E.Leclerc supermarche now situated near Moutier. It’s a bit closer to home and a pretty good price range.
Geneva to Les Arcs in snow
The roads are very well cleared when there is snow fall, even the ones leading right up to the mountain resorts, but we can never predict the weather!
We all hope for lots of snow, so 1st Lifts is prepared.
Each driver is trained to put on snow chains in even the worst conditions – even in the dark.
We carry chains in each vehicle and we know when it is necessary to use them to bring your group to Les Arcs safely.
Your own playlist on the way to Les Arcs
If you have a playlist you would like to put on during your journey let us know! We’d love to hear it.
Video your journey singing to your favourite songs and upload it to the 1st Lifts Facebook page.
Make sure you tag your friends and family!
“The Les Arcs Train Station”
The train station in Bourg saint Maurice is often mistakenly called the Les Arcs train station, we suppose because it is the main route into Les Arcs from airports, from Paris and other major cities.
The Les Arcs train station is actually in the centre of a city called Bourg saint Maurice, which is at 840 metres and there is no skiing there! Although you can access the ski hill by the funicular, which whisks you up to Arc 1600. The Bourg saint Maurice funicular is a short walk from the “Les Arcs Train Station”, accessible with bags as you can cross a bridge over the train line.
1st Lifts can be booked to take you from Bourg st Maurice to one of the Les Arcs resorts: Arc 1600, Arc 1800 or Arc 1950.

Bourg-saint-Maurice, les Arcs
Bourg-saint-Maurice sits below Arc 1600, and is the last large town along the Tarentaise valley in the heart of the French Alps. Linked to Arc 1600 by a funicular railway, Bourg-saint-Maurice offers an abundance of restaurants and night-life in both the summer and the winter.
The surrounding mountains are good for skiing during the winter season, or hiking, mountain biking and road biking in the summer.
Bourg-saint-Maurice gives easy access to the Paradiski area via the funicular. To access the funicular go to the lower funicular station, which is behind the train station in Bourg. Buy a ticket at the ticket office.
The SNCF train station in Bourg-saint-Maurice is the last station for the TGV, Eurostar and Thalys from Paris (high speed train).
Bourg-saint-Maurice is only a 40 minute drive to Tignes, where summer glacier skiing is available on the Grande Motte.
ARC 1600, ARC 1800, ARC 1950 and ARC 2000
In 1968, the major works began developing les Arcs resort. The resort of Arc 1600 was the first to be built. Arc 1800 was built in 1975, Arc 2000 in 1979 and Arc 1950 in 2003.
There was once a cable car from the centre of Bourg Saint Maurice directly to Arc 1600, but in 1989 it was pulled down and replaced by the aerial funicular, which took 3 years to build.
Each village offers restaurants, bars and accommodation with access to the mountain. More information can be found on the les Arcs website.

Driving Safely in the Alps
After the New Year weekend in 2014 when 29,000 cars and coaches were reported stranded in the Tarentaise valley because of a snow storm, 1st Lifts writes about driving safely in the Alps.
We hope this helps you prepare for harsh winter conditions if you decide to drive yourself to the mountains for your ski holiday. The alternative is, of course, to hire professionals who are used to the conditions and will be ready prepared, like 1st Lifts.
How to prepare for your journey to the Alps
Tips for driving in the snow
- To reduce the chances of starting a wheel spin be gentle with the clutch and the accelerator. Use high gears. Pull away in second gear if you can; this will send less torque to the wheels, reducing the chances of digging yourself into a hole.
- Steer and brake GENTLY. Heavy, sharp braking or over steering can lead to skidding. Once you start skidding the vehicle is out of control.
- Drive slowly, and use major routes as oppose to the back roads. Major roads are more likely to be cleared, and will have a higher traffic volume that will clear the road from snow.
Clear snow from the vehicle
Always clear the body of your vehicle from snow before setting off. Good visibility is necessary and snow on the bonnet can obscure your view. Snow on the roof can fall across the front or rear screens, startling you or other drivers and obscuring your view.
Snow chains
It is not a legality in the Alps to carry snow chains in your vehicle in the winter, but in cases of heavy snow the police will not allow vehicles to drive to resorts without them. It is all very well to carry snow chains, but you also need to know how to put them on. 1st Lifts drivers practice putting snow chains on regularly, so it is easy when it comes down to it, in the dark, in a snow storm, in freezing temperatures.
Two chains are the minimum advised – check your vehicle handbook for advice on which tyres.
Always pull safely off the main road to a flat surface to fit your snow chains. Put them on IN GOOD TIME. There is no point waiting until you are half way up a mountain, in 4 foot of snow, sliding backwards. If the weather starts to get bad, put them on when you get to a snow chain area (indicated by signs in France). Your 1st Lifts driver will be experienced in when to fit the snow chains. Look for snow chain lay-bys, there are many around on the major roads.
If you get stuck push your vehicle to the side of the road, to a safe area before getting out to fit your snow chains.
It is a good idea to carry a head torch, gloves and a mat to kneel on, whilst fitting your snow chains. Always carry warm clothes and a good pair of boots in case you have to walk.
You must remove your chains when you get to a gritted/cleared road surface.
Snow socks are not as effective as chains and they are not considered an good alternative to chains in areas where snow chain signs are posted.
Snow tyres
1st Lifts vehicles have snow tyres, not just winter tyres.
Winter tyres are designed to give you extra grip during the cold months. Snow tyres have tread patterns specifically designed to bite into snow and ice. They are made from softer rubber that will retain flexibility in cold weather so the tyre conforms to the surface of the road. All season tyres will go hard and are less pliable in cold temperatures.
Snow tyres display a snow flake symbol to show they are of a certain standard.
In France winter tyres are not compulsory.
Warm clothes
Obviously if you are going on a ski holiday you will have warm clothes. That said they should be easily accessible in the dark, during a snow storm. Make sure an extra jumper, snow trousers, boots, hats, gloves, scarves and a jacket are easily available for each passenger.
European breakdown kit
It is compulsory in France to carry a European breakdown kit in the vehicle, and it is also very sensible to have one! Breakdown kits include a hazard warning triangle and adult high visibility vests, which are both compulsory in France.
You can purchase European Breakdown Kits from the AA, here.
Failing the above – ask 1st Lifts to pick you up from the airport and drive you safely into the Alps so you can sit back, relax and not worry about driving in harsh winter conditions.

Get Fit for Your Winter Ski/Snowboard Holiday
We all should have done it – started to get fit for our winter holiday way before now. We have 1 month until the first lifts open in the Alps and we are in training! Hobbling around the ski resort after 2 days of skiing, and not enjoying the rest of your week, is NOT COOL!
Stay strong and injury free by training your body before you come on your ski holiday. 1st Lifts brings to you some suggestions on the areas of your body you should be working, and some exercises to help you. You’ll be good for the snow in no time!
Start gently with one set of 10 to 20 reps of the exercises, then gradually increase to two or three sets as your strength improves. Rest every third day (you can do serious injury without rest). More experienced exercisers can rest one day a week, but will know to take a de-training week. Drink water during exercise.
I am not a fitness instructor, please get expert advice.
Quadriceps
Your quads are probably the most used muscles in both skiing and snowboarding. Your quads include the 4 big muscles in your thigh, oh you know them! These muscles hold you in position as you ski and provide protection for your knees. Good exercises for the quadriceps are squats and lunges. Squats and lunges will also help the secondary muscles around your knees. I don’t have to explain what squats and lunges are do I?
Hamstrings and Glutes
Your hamstrings are the muscles in the back of your thigh, which, along with the quads, allow you to bend your leg at the knee. And we all know where glutes are right? Yup, in your arse.
People who get hamstring strain often have stronger quads than hamstrings (or they haven’t warmed up properly).
Snowboarders often build a lot of strength in their quads and forget the hamstrings. When riding, the hamstrings are used when the hip joint is extended during toe-side turns in both legs. This movement is not a full extension amongst the majority of snowboarders therefore the muscles in the hamstrings under develop.
Downhill skiers typically lean forward from the hips, holding their bodies in a flexed position. This requires great strength from your hamstrings and glutes because they help to stabilise your body.
Some of the following exercises will help the glutes and the hamstrings prepare for your ski holiday:
Deadlifts and one leg dead lifts
The deadlift is a weight training exercise in which a loaded (or unloaded in some cases) barbell is lifted off the ground to the hips, then lowered back to the ground. Ask your gym instructor to help you with this.
Step ups
A really easy one, where ever you live. If you don’t have a step take a run to the park and do them there.
Hamstring rolls
If you have a swiss ball or there is one at your gym hamstring rolls are great. This is the one where you lie face up with your arms pressed into the floor by your sides, knees bent, heels on top of the ball. Now lift your hips up off the floor and, keeping your hips high, slowly extend your legs and roll the ball away from your body (don’t lock your knees). Bend your knees and curl the ball back into your body so you are at the start position.
Inner and Outer Thighs
In a skier your inner thighs work hard to keep your skis together. Your outer thighs keep your body stable and help you steer.
Some great exercises for skiers are side lunges, Swiss-ball squeezes for the inner thigh or sliding side lunges using disks.
If you are a member of a gym try inner and outer pushes on the abductor and adductor machines. However, you can do some at home:
Adductor (inside thigh)
Lie on the floor on your left side with your body straight and rest your head on your outstretched left arm. Cross your right leg over your left and place your right foot on the floor so that you can lift your lower (left) leg. Raise your left leg by lifting your foot 8 to 12 inches off the floor. Slowly lower your foot back to the floor and repeat before rolling over and changing sides.
Abductor (outside thigh)
Lie on the floor on your left side with your body straight and rest your head on your outstretched left arm. Bend your left leg so that your left foot is somewhere close to your right knee. Lift your foot right foot 12 inches off the ground. Slowly lower your foot back to the floor and repeat before rolling over and changing sides.
Scissors
Be careful with this one as it can put strain on your back.
Lie on your back with your legs extended in front of you and your arms on the floor at your sides. Make sure your lower back is flat on the floor by pulling your abdominal muscles in. Lift your legs off of the floor to 45 degrees, feet pointing straight toward the ceiling. Open and close your legs in a scissor-like motion. Do half with right leg crossing over the left and then repeat with the left leg crossing over the right.
You can make these exercises harder by wearing ankle weights.
Cushion squeeze
You can use a cushion for this one, or an exercise ball. Lie on your back with your legs bent, feet flat on the floor and cushion between your knees. Press your knees together and squeeze the cushion really hard for about 5 seconds. Relax then do it again.
Shin and Calves
Because your knees are bent as you ski, your calves help you stay upright so you don’t fall over (your boots help too).
Snowboarders tend not to use the muscle in the shin (tibialis anterior), therefore not much strength is developed. The calf (or gastrocnemius) gets a lot of use (yes you’ve felt it) and becomes very strong. This imbalance can cause unstable ankles, which commonly develop into ankle injuries. Good exercises for snowboarders and skiers alike are:
Calf Raises
We’ve all done calf raises before (haven’t we?). You can stand in front of a chair for stability, with your feet hip width apart. Now just raise your heels so that only the ball of your foot is off the floor. You can do this on the edge of a step if you are confident, with dumb bells or one foot at a time.
Toe Raises
These strengthen the muscles surrounding the front and sides of the shin bone, helping to reinforce it. Start by sitting with both feet flat on the floor. Your heels will stay on the ground whilst you lift the rest of your foot up as much as possible – you should be pointing your toes at the sky. Hold for a moment, then slowly return your foot to the starting position.
Abs and Back
As both skiers and snowboarders are in a flexed, bent over position, your back has to work really hard to hold your body in that position. You can protect your spine from injury by having a strong core. Work these muscles with the following exercises:
Bicycle crunch
This is the one where lie on your back like you are going to do a sit up. With your knees bent your hands will rest softly on your temples, elbows out. Now bring your left elbow up (keeping that hand on your temple, your head and shoulders will rise as well) and your right knee up to meet in the middle, twisting as you go.
V-ups
The one we all love to hate. Lie on your back, bring your legs up and your arms up to meet in the middle above your head. Now slowly lower your legs and your body back on to the floor.
Back Extensions
Lie on your front, legs straight, tops of your feet flat on the floor. Your hands will rest softly on your temples, elbows out. Now raise your head and chest off the floor, hold and then come down.
Dumb Bell Rows
This is where you have one knee and one hand (same side) on the weight bench. With a dumbbell in the other hand (palm facing your torso), keep your back straight, keep your head up and the weight should hang directly in front of you as your arm hangs. Keep the torso stationary, lift the dumbbell to your side, keep the elbow close to the body, squeeze the back muscles and hold. Slowly lower the weight again to the starting position.
If you are the member of a gym you can also do lat pulls.
Arms
Along with your back, arms help push off with your poles while stabilizing your shoulder joints. Snowboarders use their arms when setting off from the floor and to move in the right direction.
Don’t forget your biceps and triceps! Simple exercises for your arms include bi-cep dips (which you can simply do on a chair) and press-ups.
Warm Up and Warm Down!
You are way more likely to come home with a ski injury if you have not warmed up before skiing and warmed down after skiing. Those people you see actually stretching; the ones you’ve laughed at? That is now you. Stretching and a little jog before and after will help you to keep going the whole week.
