Private transfer or shared shuttle?
Chamonix is about 220 km from Lyon airport. The train involves several changes, and a metered taxi would be very expensive. With a private transfer:
- The price is fixed when you book, whatever the journey time
- Your flight is tracked and your driver waits at arrivals with a name sign
- The van carries up to 8 skiers with all their equipment
- You travel directly, with your own group, to your door
The journey from Lyon to Chamonix
From Lyon Saint-Exupéry, the route follows the motorway towards Geneva, then the Arve valley motorway, often called the Autoroute Blanche, past Sallanches to Chamonix. Allow 2 hours 15 to 2 hours 45. The road is a motorway almost all the way, making Chamonix one of the easiest resorts to reach from Lyon.
Chamonix and the Mont Blanc valley
We drop you in Chamonix centre and in all the villages of the valley: Les Houches, Argentière, Le Tour, Les Praz or Vallorcine. Give us the exact address of your hotel or chalet and your driver will help you unload.
- Skis and boots included
- Child seat €5
- Free booster seat
- Water and Wi-Fi on board
Chamonix all year round
Chamonix is a year-round destination: skiing and ski touring in winter, climbing, hiking and trail running in summer, with major events such as the UTMB. We run transfers every day of the year. For other Haute-Savoie resorts, see all our ski transfers.
Families, groups and late arrivals
A sedan suits 4 people with reasonable luggage; the van takes up to 8 passengers and 8 bags, with room for skis and pushchairs. For larger groups and ski clubs, we coordinate several vehicles travelling together, with a single confirmation. Many flights land in Lyon in the evening: we operate 24/7, so your transfer is guaranteed even late at night, and pets travel free of charge.
Peak season tips
- Book as soon as your flights are confirmed: February Saturdays fill up fast
- A 20% surcharge applies on February Saturdays and over Christmas and New Year, always shown when you book
