If you get a window seat on the descent into Geneva, take it. The Alps fill the glass, snow on every peak, the scale of it catching you off guard even if you've made this trip before. Somewhere down there is where you're going.
Geneva is the gateway for both Verbier and Méribel. From arrivals, you're looking at roughly two and a half hours by private transfer to either resort. For those arriving privately, Sion sits closest to Verbier. Chambéry serves Méribel.
Our concierge team take care of everything before you land. The questions you had about getting here, the skis, the journey time, whether you'd need a car, how it works travelling as a group, who deals with the bags, whether the children will be fine, already answered. The transfer is arranged, the details are covered. You step off the plane with nothing to figure out. That feeling stays for the whole week.
The drive from Geneva to Verbier follows Lac Léman, the lake running wide on one side, the French Alps rising behind it on the other. You'll pass Évian on the far shore, you'll know it as the best mineral water in the Alps. Snow fills in gradually, rooftops first, then the treelines, the fields, until the mountains are fully white. Somewhere along the way the conversation turns to previous trips, the après ski, the runs you keep meaning to go back to.
The car approaches the chalet. Before you've gathered your things, the door is open.
Your host is there to meet you, warm, ready, and the tone is set from the first moment. The chalet is warm, everything is in place, and within minutes the journey feels like a long time ago. For independent stays, your concierge picks up exactly where the transfer left off.
This is where the handover happens, and it's seamless because it was always meant to be. The same team that arranged your transfer, knew your flight time, and had the champagne ready has been talking to the people now standing in front of you. Nothing is repeated. Nothing is lost. You don't have to explain yourself or your group to anyone.
Your host reads the room from the first hour. Discerning, present without being intrusive. By the second evening they know your nightcap of choice and your favourite tea without having asked. The week takes shape around your group naturally, because the people looking after you have been paying attention from the moment you booked.
This is what being in good hands actually feels like.

Private transfer is the most practical way to transport ski equipment from Geneva Airport to Verbier or Méribel. Armadillo Chalets arranges all equipment transport as part of your transfer. Ski bags, boot bags, and luggage are loaded by your driver and taken directly to your chalet door. Everything is coordinated by our concierge team before you arrive, so there is nothing to organise on the day.
Private transfers to Verbier and Méribel typically accommodate groups of up to eight passengers in a luxury Mercedes V-Class or equivalent vehicle. Larger groups can be catered for with multiple vehicles, coordinated to depart and arrive together. Armadillo Chalets arranges the right vehicle configuration for your group size as part of the booking process.
Yes. Your driver will load and unload all luggage, ski bags, and equipment at both the airport and the chalet. You will not need to handle your bags from the moment you leave arrivals to the moment they appear inside your chalet.
Yes. Private transfers from Geneva Airport go directly to your chalet door in Verbier or Méribel. No intermediate stops, no shared vehicles, no drop-offs at a central resort point. Your group travels together, door to door, from the moment you leave arrivals.
For most guests, particularly those travelling in groups or with children and ski equipment, private transfer is the more practical and comfortable option. The train from Geneva to Verbier requires a connection at Martigny and an onward journey by bus or cable car. Manageable for solo travellers but significantly more complex with luggage, ski bags, and young children. A private transfer takes your group directly to the chalet door with no connections and no handling of equipment.
Yes. Car seats appropriate for your child's age and size can be arranged in advance through the Armadillo concierge team. We ask that all requirements including ages and weights of young children are provided at least four weeks prior to arrival so the correct seats are in place before your transfer departs.
