Lyon to Courchevel

Courchevel 1850,
without the border

Courchevel is about 190 kilometres from Lyon Saint-Exupéry, two and a half hours on a clear day, by Chambéry, Albertville and Moûtiers. The whole drive stays in France, which many of our clients prefer to the Geneva route and its border crossing.

From Moûtiers the road climbs through Le Praz and the villages of Courchevel to 1850, the highest and most exclusive level of the resort, where most chalets and palaces are.

Courchevel has several levels, from Le Praz at 1,300 metres to Courchevel 1850. Many chalets sit on private lanes above the Jardin Alpin: send us the exact address and access notes and we plan the last metres.

Your transfer options

Lyon Saint-Exupéry airport to Courchevel: private transfer, taxi or shared shuttle?

Private transfer from Lyon Saint-Exupéry airport to Courchevel

A Lyon to Courchevel transfer with My Private Service is a private car for your party only, a chauffeur waiting in the Saint-Exupéry arrivals hall or at the TGV station exit with your name, and a rate fixed in writing before you travel. No border and no Swiss vignette: 190 kilometres on the A43 and A430 to Albertville, the Tarentaise to Moûtiers, then the climb to Le Praz, Village, Moriond or 1850.

Taxi Lyon to Courchevel, coach or private chauffeur?

A taxi from Lyon Saint-Exupéry airport to Courchevel runs on the meter and is rarely equipped for the mountain. Shared coach and shuttle transfers leave on a timetable, stop at other resorts and wait for other flights. The train from Lyon stops at Moûtiers, where a car is needed for the last 25 kilometres; Chambéry airport is an hour closer than Lyon if your flight allows it. A private airport transfer leaves when you land and drops you at the door, which on a Saturday in February makes the difference.

Minibus, van and group ski transfers to Courchevel

For a family or a group of friends, the Mercedes V-Class takes seven passengers with skis and luggage; larger groups travel in two or three vehicles leaving together. The same private ski transfer serves the hotels, the chalets and Courchevel 1850, Moriond, Village, Le Praz and La Tania.

Courchevel to Lyon airport: the return transfer

We run the Courchevel to Lyon transfer in both directions. For the return, your chauffeur sets the pick-up time from the road conditions and your flight, so the transfer time from Courchevel to Lyon Saint-Exupéry airport is never a gamble. Ask for a return quote and both legs are confirmed together.

Transfer cost, transfer time, distance from Lyon to Courchevel or simply how to get from Lyon to Courchevel: send us the date, your flight and the number of passengers, and you receive a firm price and your chauffeur's name.
