Private transfer or shared shuttle?
Les Saisies is about 180 km from Lyon airport, including a mountain road. Public transport involves several changes, and a metered taxi can become very expensive on a winter Saturday. 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 Saisies
From Lyon Saint-Exupéry, the route follows the motorway towards Chambéry and Albertville, then climbs through the Beaufortain to the Col des Saisies, at about 1,650 metres. Allow 2 hours to 2 hours 30. Our drivers are used to mountain roads in winter conditions.
Les Saisies and the Beaufortain
A human-scale village resort, Les Saisies offers a ski area linked to several neighbouring villages and cross-country trails that hosted the 1992 Olympic events. We drop you at your chalet or residence, as well as in Hauteluce, Bisanne, Crest-Voland and Notre-Dame-de-Bellecombe.
- Skis and boots included
- Child seat €5
- Free booster seat
- Water and Wi-Fi on board
Cross-country skiing, snowshoes and summer
Les Saisies is a reference for cross-country skiing, biathlon and snowshoeing. Cross-country skis and snowshoes travel free of charge, just like alpine skis. In summer, alpine pastures, hiking and Beaufort cheese attract families. We run transfers all year round.
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. Child seats cost €5 and booster seats are free.
