"Outstanding service from Geneva Airport to Courchevel. The driver tracked our flight, helped with all our ski equipment and the Mercedes V-Class was spotless. Very professional and punctual. We'll definitely book again next winter."
Lyon-Saint-Exupéry is usually where the cheapest flights land for the northern Alps, and it is connected to the resorts by a road that is motorway nearly all the way to Albertville. The journey is longer than from Geneva, but it is also steadier: less exposed to the stop-start of leaving Geneva on a Saturday.
1 · Price, distance and journey time to each resort
These are firm fares: they do not move with the traffic, the weather or your arrival time. They apply to the whole vehicle, not per person. Each resort has its own detailed page — click its name.

|---|---|---|---|
| Méribel | 180 km | 2 h 40 | 480 €580 € w-e |
| Courchevel | 187 km | 2 h 50 | 480 €580 € w-e |

2 · Where to meet your driver
We wait for you in the terminal 1 arrivals hall, holding a sign with your name. Terminal 2 is linked to terminal 1 by an indoor walkway, so the meeting point stays the same whichever terminal you land at — simpler for everyone.
The airport's TGV station is reached from the same hall: if you arrive by train rather than by plane, the meeting point does not change.
Terminals, schedules and flight tracking on the official site: Lyon-Saint-Exupéry.
3 · How long to allow after landing
Allow 25 to 40 minutes between landing and departure. Lyon clears faster than Geneva in peak season, parking is simpler and the customs queues are shorter. 1 hr 30 of waiting is included after the actual landing time.
A delayed flight costs you nothing. It is our problem, not yours: the driver shifts his day, the price does not move.
4 · The road, and what winter changes
A43 then A430 as far as Albertville: half the journey is at motorway speed. Then the Tarentaise valley begins, and after that the final climb to the resort. It is that last stretch that decides the real journey time, not the motorway kilometres.
Our vehicles run winter tyres from November to April, with chains permanently on board, and the driver checks the state of the road before every climb.
Winter equipment requirements apply municipality by municipality: the official list is published by the Sécurité routière. Live road conditions are available on Savoie Route.
5 · Which vehicle for your group
- Eco, hybrid or electric. 3 passengers, 3 bags. For a couple or a business trip.
- Mercedes Vito Tourer. 8 passengers, 10 bags. The best seat-to-price ratio in the fleet.
- Mercedes V-Class. 7 seats, 10 bags. Our reference in the mountains.
- Mercedes Sprinter Tourer. up to 19 passengers, separate hold. Groups, seminars, teams.
It is the volume of equipment, more than the number of passengers, that decides. Seven people with seven pairs of skis and seven hold suitcases will not fit in a V-Class: tell us when you book and we check before confirming.
6 · What the price includes
- Flight tracking and free adjustment of the pickup time.
- 1 hr 30 of waiting after landing, baggage and customs included.
- A meet and greet in arrivals, sign with your name, bags carried to the vehicle.
- Skis, snowboards and luggage at no extra cost, within the vehicle's capacity.
- Approved baby seats and boosters, fitted before you arrive.
- Tolls, fuel and winter equipment.
- Door-to-door drop-off at your accommodation, not at the resort car park.
- Free cancellation up to 24 hours before pickup.
7 · From another airport
- Geneva airport. The starting point for eight transfers out of ten to the Tarentaise and Mont Blanc. Fixed price given before departure, skis included.
- Chambéry airport. The closest airport to the Tarentaise resorts. Mainly a Saturday airport in season — and that is when a transfer matters most.
- Grenoble airport. The most direct route to the Oisans — Alpe d'Huez and Les Deux Alpes are an hour away — and a serious alternative for the Tarentaise.
- Turin-Caselle airport. The Italian way in, through the Fréjus tunnel. Useful for the Maurienne, Montgenèvre and the Haute-Tarentaise.
