Lyon to Les Menuires
Private Transfer
From Lyon Saint-Exupéry to Les Menuires, in the Belleville valley of Les 3 Vallées, in about two hours and three quarters. A private chauffeur, a car equipped for the mountains and a rate fixed before you travel.
The Belleville valley,
ski-in ski-out
Les Menuires sits at 1,850 metres in the Belleville valley, on the ski area it shares with Val Thorens, Méribel and Courchevel. From Lyon Saint-Exupéry it is about 200 kilometres, two hours and three quarters on a clear day, by Chambéry, Albertville and Moûtiers.
Most residences and hotels are built along the slopes, so the drop-off point matters: La Croisette, Reberty, Les Bruyères or Preyerand are not reached by the same lanes. Give us the exact address and the car stops at your door.

LYS and TGV station
Les Menuires is spread over several quarters between 1,800 and 2,000 metres, with La Croisette at the centre, Reberty and Les Bruyères above, and Saint-Martin-de-Belleville lower down the valley. We need the exact quarter to plan the time and the drop-off.
From November to the end of March, the French mountain law requires four 3PMSF winter tyres or chains in the boot in the listed communes of Savoie and Isère, with a 135 euro fine otherwise. Our cars are equipped for the whole season.

How long is the drive from Lyon to Les Menuires?
About two hours and three quarters from Lyon Saint-Exupéry for roughly 200 kilometres on a clear day. On in-season Saturdays, the Tarentaise valley can add an hour or more.
Which route does the chauffeur take?
The A43 and A430 to Albertville, the N90 to Moûtiers, then the D117 up the Belleville valley.
Can you pick us up at Lyon Part-Dieu station or in the city?
Yes. The transfer leaves from the airport, the Part-Dieu or Perrache stations or any address in Lyon, at the time you choose.
Can you drop us in Reberty or Les Bruyères?
Yes, as well as La Croisette, Preyerand and Saint-Martin-de-Belleville.
Is Les Menuires linked to Val Thorens?
Yes, both resorts share the Belleville valley and the lifts of Les 3 Vallées; Val Thorens is ten minutes further up the same road.
How much is a private transfer from Lyon Saint-Exupéry airport to Les Menuires?
The price depends on the car, the date and the number of passengers. It is fixed per vehicle, not per person, with taxes, tolls and waiting time included. Send us your flight and you receive the exact rate in writing before you book.
Do you offer a taxi from Lyon Saint-Exupéry airport to Les Menuires?
We are a private chauffeur service rather than a taxi rank: the car is booked in advance, the rate is fixed and the chauffeur waits for you whatever the delay. On this route it replaces the taxi and the shared shuttle for most travellers.
Can you take a group with skis from Lyon to Les Menuires?
Yes. The Mercedes V-Class takes seven passengers with their cases and ski equipment; beyond that we send two or three vehicles together. Tell us the number of passengers and pairs of skis when you ask for the quote.
What is the transfer time from Lyon to Les Menuires on a Saturday in February?
Count close to four hours rather than two and three quarters: the Tarentaise slows between Albertville and Moûtiers on changeover days. Your chauffeur follows the traffic and adjusts the pick-up time.
Lyon Saint-Exupéry airport to Les Menuires: private transfer, taxi or shared shuttle?
Private transfer from Lyon Saint-Exupéry airport to Les Menuires
A Lyon to Les Menuires transfer with My Private Service is a private car for your party only, a chauffeur waiting in the arrivals hall with your name, and a rate fixed in writing before you travel. Les Menuires is about two hours and three quarters from Lyon airport via Chambéry, Albertville and Moûtiers, then the Belleville valley road up to the resort.
Taxi Lyon to Les Menuires, shared shuttle or private chauffeur?
A taxi from Lyon airport to Les Menuires runs on the meter and is rarely equipped for the mountain. Shared coaches and shuttles leave on a timetable, stop at other resorts of the 3 Vallées and wait for other flights. The train from Lyon reaches Moûtiers, 27 kilometres below the resort, so a car is needed for the climb anyway. A private airport transfer leaves when you land and drops you at the door.
Minibus, van and group ski transfers to Les Menuires
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 and chalets of La Croisette, Reberty, Les Bruyères, Preyerand and Saint-Martin-de-Belleville.
Les Menuires to Lyon Saint-Exupéry airport: the return transfer
We run the Les Menuires 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 Les Menuires to Lyon Saint-Exupéry airport is never a gamble. Ask for a return quote and both legs are confirmed together.
