Lyon to Courchevel Transfer: VTC and Ski Shuttle

Travel from Lyon airport to Courchevel

Lyon Saint-Exupéry (LYS) airport is a major alternative for reaching the French Alps ski resorts. Located 200 km from Courchevel, the journey by private chauffeur takes about 2.5 to 3 hours depending on traffic.

Advantages of a transfer from Lyon

• Excellent connectivity: Numerous domestic and international flights.
• Direct highway access: Smooth journey via the A43 to Albertville, then the N90.
• Reliability: Less prone to weather closures than smaller high-altitude airports.

Lyon Saint-Exupéry: the smart traveller's trick

Two reasons drive our regulars to Lyon. First, airfares: at equal dates, a London-Lyon return often costs €80-150 less than London-Geneva — the saving funds a good chunk of the transfer. Second, availability: where Geneva saturates February Saturdays, Lyon keeps slots and cars free, including last-minute bookings.

The route runs on the A43 to Chambéry then up the Tarentaise: 2h15 in normal conditions, 2h45 on peak Saturdays. Our fares start at €380 in a Tesla Model Y for 4 passengers, tolls and flight tracking included. Bonus tip: a gourmet stop at the Maison Blanche in Chignin (15 min off the motorway) can be arranged on request — Savoie fondant and a glass of Mondeuse before the climb.
