Whilst Chamonix Exclusive will do everything possible to collect clients from Geneva at the most convenient time, collection cannot be guaranteed without some delays due to operational circumstances and scheduling from time to time. Whilst we endeavour to pick up clients prior to 1pm on the arrival date, this can be particularly difficult due to scheduling issues of outbound clients and incoming clients are advised to choose afternoon arrival times to minimise any risk of delay at the airport.

Any requests outside the Chamonix Valley may be agreed between Chamonix Exclusive and the client, but charges will apply. Please note that this service is an 'on call' service and the driver should therefore, where possible, be given advance notice of the time and place of the collection to avoid unnecessary waiting. Where notice is not given, delay may be incurred caused by the driver travelling to your collection point, including collection at the chalet (afternoon service where the driver maybe situated elsewhere in the valley). Where more than one request is made by various clients in the party, at various points and times in the valley, the driver will schedule the collection as best as possible, but some delays may result. Clients assistance where possible to coordinate such requests is always welcomed and very much appreciated. For the on call driver service we provide one 8 seater mini bus and therefore where collection is for larger groupings, two journeys will be undertaken (please note under no circumstances will the vehicle exceed the 8 seater capacity).
