That's certainly the fastest, most direct route. The road on the south side
of the lake is shorter but considerably slower, and not as scenic (unless
you consider the Evian bottling plant scenic...)

If you have half a day to spare, you can take the scenic route to Martigny
via Chamonix, col des Montets, Vallorcine. Lots of beautiful mountain
scenery, but *slow*. And make sure the col des Montets is open, it can be
closed for a few days after heavy snowfalls.

The RAC Routeplanner says 100 miles/160 km and about 2 hours
door-to-door, using the motorway around the North side of
the lake.

Frequently: Speed traps and unmanned cameras on the Swiss side of this
route.
