Geneva airport to Lyon

[Jstevo]

A question for the brains trust. I will be arriving in Geneva airport around 1:30pm on a Sunday and keen to get to Lyon that same day to meet up with family before we start in Le Puy early April. I’ve looked at Rome2Rio and it suggests BlablaBus. I’d be very grateful for any advice for what might be the best option and if it is necessary to book ahead of time? Train/bus etc? With thanks

I suggest looking at the Trainline website or app. Easy to use. There are Sunday trains from Geneva to Lyon. It’s about a 2 hour journey. All the best.

PS. And Geneva airport to the central train station is about a 10 min journey on the light rail

Check SNCF for Geneva Airport/Geneva to Lyon.

Don't forget to get your free light rail ticket before you exit from luggage area into public arrivals hall.

Free ticket for Geneva Public Transport at the Airport | Geneva.info

@Jstevo you can take a train directly from Geneva airport to Geneva Cornavin train station (7 mins), where you can get the train to Lyon. This page has all the info and links to Swiss transport that you need.

As @Pelerina said, I think there is a tram as well. Check SBB for local info. Hope this helps and bon chemin.

Not sure what date you are travelling but there is normally an afternoon 1640 bus from the airport to Lyon. Normally around €20 ish. Takes about 2hrs 30.

According to Godglemaps for an average Sunday afternoon: https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Gen...764043!2m3!6e0!7e2!8j1708266600!3e3?entry=ttu

Though I'll paraphrase an old adage: If I was going there I wouldn't start from here, and definitely not on a Sunday afternoon
