Geneva - Annecy motorway

Since December 2008 it’s become even easier to reach Annecy and the ski resorts of the Aravis Mountains from Geneva city centre and airport. The new Annecy - Geneva motorway opened in December 2008 and has cut the journey time from Annecy to Geneva to just 25 minutes by car.

The new route is a toll road and there is a charge of about 5 euros to use it, however if you are a regular commuter membership discounts are available. If you own a property or you are planning to purchase a property in the Annecy area or the nearby ski resorts of La Clusaz or Le Grand Bornand the new motorway makes a real difference to your journey times.

The new motorway also confirms Annecy and the Lake Annecy area as an excellent choice for those relocating to Geneva for work purposes. Annecy property offers much better value than Geneva and surrounding areas, as well as being one of the most beautiful towns in France. The quality of life here is fabulous, offering all the amenities of an affluent and vibrant town combined with the magnificent scenery of Lake Annecy and the surrounding mountains. The mountain resorts of La Clusaz and Le Grand Bornand are just a 25 minute drive from Annecy and local inhabitants are able to enjoy swimming and watersports on the clean, clear waters of Lake Annecy as well as skiing, paragliding, hiking and climbing in the mountains.

If you plan a move to the area and you are considering a property purchase in Annecy or a ski property in La Clusaz or Le Grand Bornand, get in touch, we’d be delighted to advise you and help with your purchase.
