Private transfer or shared shuttle?
Val-Cenis is more than 200 km from Lyon airport, up the whole Maurienne valley. A metered taxi can become very expensive, and public transport involves several changes. 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 Val-Cenis
From Lyon Saint-Exupéry, the route follows the motorway towards Chambéry, then up the Maurienne valley via Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne and Modane to Val-Cenis, at about 1,400 metres. Allow 2 hours 45 to 3 hours. On peak Saturdays, we suggest the most suitable pick-up time.
Val-Cenis and its villages
Val-Cenis brings together several villages of character, including Lanslebourg, Lanslevillard, Termignon, Bramans and Sollières-Sardières. The ski area faces the peaks of the Vanoise. Your driver drops you at the exact address of your chalet, hotel or residence.
- Skis and boots included
- Child seat €5

The upper Maurienne and nearby Italy
In summer, the Mont-Cenis pass, high-altitude lakes and Vanoise trails attract hikers and cyclists. The upper Maurienne is also the gateway to Italy: through the Fréjus tunnel, Turin is only a few hours away. 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.
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
- For the return, allow plenty of time before your flight
- Book both ways in one request
