❄️ Winter Route ❄️
Geneva
Bienvenue to Geneva, the chic city with two sides - one French and one Swiss. Sleek enough for a weekend break, Geneva is big for business and perfect for its proximity to some seriously good skiing in the nearby Alps. Breeze through Southampton airport and fly to Geneva in less than two hours - and enjoy this little city with a big personality.
First time visitors will love the elegance of Lake Geneva and its fountain, and there’s plenty to explore in the Old Town too, with its winding back streets and medieval architecture. Take a river taxi, tuck into the chocolate shops, gaze at the luxury jewellery and watch emporiums or simply head straight to the slopes.
Winter is big business in Geneva. With so many world class resorts to choose from, fly in from Southampton and the Alps are at your feet. From the beautiful Portes du Soleil to Chamonix, Val d’Isere to Verbier, Zermatt to Gstaad, there’s so much Alps to whizz down.
Getting there
In winter, fly to Geneva airport from Southampton in just under two hours with easyJet.
The terminal has a French and a Swiss side, so when it comes to picking up a hire car, make sure you’ve done your homework and know which way you’re headed. Some travellers swear it’s easier to negotiate the roads from the French side, and others disagree, but however you arrive there are plenty of ways to get around.
The airport is served by both the TPG (Geneva public transport) and the CFF (Federal Railways) trains. Taxis are available and there are plenty of ranks across the city but beware, you’ll need very deep pockets. You can also book your taxi or transfer in advance.
