If you want a bucket-list winter trip without the big budget, Geneva would be a great base.
We've found budget-friendly, 2 night stays in Geneva city centre (mainly weekends), with return flights from 11 UK Airports + Dublin. Prices start at just £182pp.
From Geneva, it’s just a short hop over the French border to the mountain resort of Chamonix, sitting at the foot of Mont Blanc.
Alternatively, you're just an hour from Montreux where you can a luxury train along the take the GoldenPass line.
✈️ Geneva Airport is only 5 minutes from the city centre, and the train costs just a couple of pounds!
This region is certainly not a cheap destination - Switzerland is the most expensive country in the world, but it certainly helps finding great hotel and flight prices.
The guided tour includes return panoramic bus from Geneva City Centre to Chamonix plus reserved tickets for:
🚠 The famous Aiguille du Midi cable car
🚂 The Montenvers mountain train
❄️ The Mer de Glace, France’s largest glacier
and free time to explore the charming alpine town.

We did this exact tour in February 2025 and absolutely loved it — highly recommend! You can read about it on our blog👉 HERE
If you’d prefer to explore more of Switzerland during your stay, Geneva is also the perfect starting point for the GoldenPass scenic trains. You can take a short train ride to Montreux, where the GoldenPass Express begins its stunning journey through the Alps all the way to Interlaken - we’ve done the Prestige Class and it’s an unforgettable experience.
You can also hop on the beautiful Belle-Époque train from Montreux to Zweisimmen, with its vintage carriages and panoramic views. We've also taken this train and included in our GoldenPass Guide.
It’s a brilliant add-on to a Geneva weekend, and you can read our full guide here on both trains, which includes how to purchase tickets.
