Private transfer or shared shuttle?
Les Arcs is more than 200 km from Lyon airport, with a mountain climb at the end. Shared shuttles stop in several resorts, and a metered taxi can become 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 Les Arcs
From Lyon Saint-Exupéry, the route follows the motorway towards Chambéry and Albertville, then the Tarentaise valley to Bourg-Saint-Maurice. From there, the road climbs to the Les Arcs villages. Allow 2 hours 45 to 3 hours 15. If you prefer, we can also drop you at the funicular in Bourg-Saint-Maurice, which goes up to Arc 1600 in a few minutes.
Arc 1600, 1800, 1950 and 2000
Each Les Arcs village has its own character: Arc 1600 and its funicular, Arc 1800 and its many residences, the pedestrian village of Arc 1950 and high-altitude Arc 2000. Give us your exact address and your driver drops you as close as possible to your residence.
- Skis and boots included
- Child seat €5
- Free booster seat
- Water and Wi-Fi on board
Paradiski, with La Plagne
Les Arcs is linked to La Plagne by the Vanoise Express cable car, forming the Paradiski area. We arrange transfers between the two resorts if your group is split. See also our Lyon to Tignes and Lyon to Val d’Isère transfers, just up the valley.
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.
