On Arrival at Geneva Airport
The Journey from Geneva Airport to Les Contamines
When travelling to Les Contamines, passengers might be dropped off in Cordon, Combloux or Saint-Gervais. This tends to happen more when demand is low. Each drop-off does cause a delay, and if you are the last person in the vehicle to be delivered to your accommodation, or other chosen destination in the resort, there might have been a delay of 15-20 minutes, in a worst-case scenario.
The Journey from Les Contamines to Geneva Airport
The transfer company will always notify you of the pick-up time from your accommodation or other agreed location in the resort. Be in that place at the appointed time. If you are not there, the driver will not wait, as to do so, other passengers might be compromised by your no-show.
As the pick-ups in Les Contamines are usually close to one another, you will soon leave the resort and head to Geneva Airport. Along the way, the driver might stop to pick up other passengers, but once you leave Cordon, there will likely be no more stops before the Geneva Airport.
