The closest airport to the great Tarentaise ski resorts. A private chauffeur meets you on arrival and drives you to Courchevel, Méribel, Val Thorens, Val d'Isère or Megève, with no border to cross and a rate fixed before you leave.
Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc airport sits on the southern shore of Lac du Bourget, the largest natural lake in France, about ten kilometres north of Chambéry. It is a human-scale airport that comes alive in winter, with flights from the United Kingdom and northern Europe bound for the ski resorts.
Its great advantage is distance. From Chambéry, Courchevel, Méribel and Val Thorens are about an hour and a half by road, a good hour less than from Geneva, and the whole drive stays in France, on the motorway to Albertville and then up the Tarentaise valley. No customs, no Swiss vignette.
The trade-off is the calendar. Flights concentrate on Saturdays and Sundays, when the chalets change hands, and the Tarentaise road gets busy on exactly those days. We time every transfer to the actual landing and to the state of the valley, not to a theoretical schedule.
Almost every Savoie resort shares the same trunk road as far as Albertville. After that, each valley has its own busy hours.
From the airport to Albertville on the motorway along the Combe de Savoie. Half an hour to three quarters of an hour, without difficulty.
From Albertville to Moûtiers for Courchevel, Méribel and Val Thorens, then on to Bourg-Saint-Maurice for Val d'Isère and Tignes.
From Albertville towards Megève through Ugine, Flumet and the Arly gorges, the most direct road to the Mont Blanc massif.

We run transfers to every resort in Savoie and Haute-Savoie, with particular care for those our clients ask for most: Courchevel, Méribel and Val Thorens in the Three Valleys, Val d'Isère and Tignes at the head of the upper Tarentaise, La Plagne and Les Arcs in the Paradiski, and Megève and Chamonix on the Mont Blanc side.
From November to the end of March, the French mountain law requires 3PMSF winter tyres or chains in the boot in Savoie and Haute-Savoie. Our cars are equipped for the whole season, and the chauffeurs assigned to Chambéry drive these roads every winter week.
The airport also handles business aviation. If you arrive by private jet, the car waits at the aircraft, coordinated with your crew, and you are on your way to the resort minutes after landing.
For one or two travellers and a few cases, comfortable on the motorway and sure-footed in the mountains.
For a rested arrival, when the drive is also time to unwind after the flight.
The resort car: seven seats, skis, boots and a week of luggage.
Agreed in writing before you book, unchanged by snow or a late flight.
We know the weekend flight rhythm and the hours when the Tarentaise fills up.
3PMSF winter tyres and chains on board from November to March.
Met at the aircraft, in contact with your crew.
Méribel, Courchevel and Val Thorens are about an hour and twenty minutes to an hour and a half away, Megève about an hour and a quarter. Val d'Isère, at the head of the Tarentaise, is a little over two hours.
For the Tarentaise resorts, Chambéry saves about an hour on the road and avoids the Swiss border. Geneva, on the other hand, has many more flights. We cover both airports.
In winter, the vast majority of flights land on Saturdays and Sundays. That is why we set every departure from the actual landing time and the valley traffic.
No. The simplest way to reach a resort is a car with a chauffeur, waiting on arrival and dropping you at your address.
Yes, in coordination with your crew or handler. The car waits at the aircraft.
From November to March the French mountain law requires 3PMSF winter tyres or chains on board in the listed communes of Savoie and Haute-Savoie. Our cars carry both.
