Airport Transfers to Les Gets from Geneva

The easiest way to get to Les Gets is via a ski resort transfer service. This saves you the worry and hassle of driving to the resort in an unknown car on mountain roads in wintry conditions (putting on snowchains in the dark in a blizzard is a rotten way to start a holiday). There are public buses services too but they are far less convenient than the specialist ski transfer services and don’t save you a lot of money.
