Going skiing in the French Alps this winter? After your flight, the easiest way to reach the slopes is often a private transfer straight to your chalet or hotel. No fixed shuttle times, no changes, and room for skis and suitcases. Here is how to choose your airport and plan the trip.
Which airport for which resort?
- Geneva Airport: best for Chamonix (about 1h15), Megève and the Haute-Savoie resorts. See Geneva Airport VTC.
- Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport: ideal for the Tarentaise and Oisans: Courchevel, Méribel, Val Thorens, Val d’Isère and Alpe d’Huez. See Lyon Airport VTC.
- Nice Airport: for the Southern Alps, such as Isola 2000 (about 1h30). Ski in the morning, dinner by the sea in the evening.
Saturdays: allow extra time
Saturday is changeover day in most resorts, and the roads into the Tarentaise are very busy between 9am and 6pm. If you can, travel on a Friday or Sunday. With a fixed price booked in advance, time spent in traffic does not change what you pay.
Which vehicle?
A couple with two suitcases and one pair of skis fits in a saloon. For a family or group with skis, boots and buggies, choose a people carrier or a 7-seat van. Our vehicles are equipped for winter and the driver loads your luggage.
Taxi, shuttle or private transfer?
A shared shuttle is cheaper but stops at several resorts and leaves at fixed times. Taxis are hard to find at the airports in peak season. A pre-booked VTC meets you on arrival, tracks your flight and takes you straight to your door, with the price known before you travel.
