Geneva to Lausanne Transfer
Book your private transfer between Geneva (or Geneva Airport GVA) and Lausanne. A 50-minute drive in a Tesla, with a punctual English-speaking driver, at a fixed price confirmed before you travel.
Why book a private transfer to Lausanne?
Lausanne, home to the International Olympic Committee, is less than an hour from Geneva. A private DRIVETOME driver is ideal for business meetings, trips to EPFL/UNIL, or a visit to the Olympic Museum without train schedule constraints.
- Direct pickup at Geneva Airport (GVA), in the city, or at your hotel
- Real-time flight tracking, no extra cost if delayed
- Ideal for business meetings with a strict schedule
- Private, direct ride, no connections
- Fixed price per vehicle (up to 4 passengers), confirmed before departure
Geneva to Lausanne: which transport option is best?
| Transport option | Duration | Indicative price |
|---|---|---|
| DRIVETOME private driver | ~50 min | from CHF 240 / vehicle |
| Train (direct, SBB/CFF) | ~35-45 min | from CHF 25 / person |
The train is fast and frequent on this route. A private driver remains preferable for a business meeting with a tight schedule, a group with luggage, or direct airport pickup.
An included visit for journeys to Bern
Lausanne sits almost exactly halfway between Geneva and Bern. If you're travelling to the federal capital, DRIVETOME offers to include a 1-2 hour visit of Lausanne directly into your transfer — the Olympic Museum, the Ouchy waterfront — no separate booking needed. Just mention it when booking.
