Door-to-chalet service from Lyon Airport (LYS) to Courchevel 1850, 1650 & 1550.
Fixed price · Ski bags free · Winter-certified drivers · Trois Vallées.
The transfer from Lyon to Courchevel covers 225 km from Lyon Airport via the A43 motorway and the Tarentaise valley road, arriving at Courchevel 1850 in approximately 2 hours 45 minutes. Courchevel is the flagship resort of the Trois Vallées — the world's largest interconnected ski domain with over 600 km of marked runs shared with Méribel and Val Thorens.
The resort spans four distinct villages at different altitudes, each with its own character and price point. We serve all of them — from the legendary luxury of 1850 to the family-friendly atmosphere of Le Praz — at a fixed price confirmed before you board.
The N90 through the Tarentaise valley and the final climb into Courchevel are driven by our team every week of ski season.
Winter tyres and snow chains are fitted before December starts — not when conditions force the issue.
Ski bags, snowboard bags, boot bags, and helmets at no extra charge in all vehicles.
The Mercedes V-Class handles seven full sets of ski equipment without using the passenger space.
We deliver to any address in the Courchevel domain — a slope-side chalet in 1850, a ski-in ski-out apartment in Moriond, or a chalet in Le Praz below the gondola.
No dropping you at the village centre 400 metres from your door.
Christmas week in Courchevel 1850 is one of the most expensive travel periods in Europe. Our transfer price does not change.
Book in September, travel in December — the price is exactly the same.
We track your Lyon Airport arrival before your driver leaves.
Delayed flight? He waits — 60 minutes free, no questions, no additional charge.
Every driver holds a French government VTC licence and carries full professional liability insurance.
When you put clients or family in our vehicles, you can say so with confidence.
All prices include ski equipment transport, winter tyres, A43 motorway tolls, and a meet & greet at Lyon Airport. No surprise charges.

Courchevel is not a single resort but a collection of four distinct villages on the same mountain, each with its own altitude, lift access, and atmosphere.
Courchevel 1850 is the summit — and the legend. At the top of the Bellecôte gondola, it is one of the most expensive ski destinations on earth. Michelin-starred restaurants, slope-side palace hotels, and direct access to the finest terrain in the Trois Vallées. The Altiport — a private airstrip cut into the mountainside — handles private jets in season. If your clients are staying here, a Mercedes is the appropriate vehicle. Our S-Class is available on request.
Courchevel 1650 (Moriond) is the family resort — slightly lower, quieter, with its own gondola and a more relaxed village feel. Many families with young children prefer it to 1850 for its scale and accessibility.
Courchevel 1550 suits intermediate skiers who want easy access to the wider ski domain without the price premium of 1850.
Le Praz (1300) is the original village at the valley base — charming, affordable, and home to the 1992 Winter Olympics ski jumping venue. The gondola ride up to 1850 takes around 25 minutes.
Courchevel is the gateway to the Trois Vallées — the world's largest interconnected ski area, shared with Méribel and Val Thorens. A single ski pass covers more than 600 km of marked runs, 179 lifts, and terrain from beginner nursery slopes to some of the most challenging off-piste in the Alps.
The connection between valleys is made by ski, not by road — so your choice of village in Courchevel does not limit your access to the full domain. We transfer to whichever village suits your group and your budget.
Courchevel 1850 is a significant corporate entertainment destination. The week between Christmas and New Year draws executives, private equity partners, and luxury brand clients from across Europe. We handle corporate group bookings discreetly — multiple vehicles coordinated for the same arrival, driver briefed on client preferences, VAT invoices issued immediately.
For VIP clients requiring the S-Class, we can arrange it for the full journey from Lyon Airport to the chalet door. We are also happy to coordinate with concierge teams from the major Courchevel hotels and chalet operators — just contact us in advance with the logistics.
Geneva Airport (GVA) is 2h00 from Courchevel — faster than Lyon's 2h45. But Lyon Airport (LYS) is consistently cheaper for flights from the UK and Ireland, often by €100 to €300 per person on peak dates. For a group of six, the combined flight saving frequently exceeds €1,000 — more than covering the modest additional transfer time.
Grenoble Airport (GNB) is also sometimes considered. It is slightly closer to Courchevel than Lyon, but has limited flight availability. For most UK and Irish clients, Lyon offers the best combination of schedule, route choice, and total cost.
End-of-week morning departures from Courchevel are busy. Saturday changeover sees every chalet emptying simultaneously and the Tarentaise road can be congested south of Moûtiers by 8 am. We advise booking your return transfer pickup for at least 3 hours 30 minutes before your flight — and we will confirm the ideal departure time based on your flight and current conditions.
From Lyon Airport to Courchevel 1850 takes approximately 2 hours 45 minutes via the A43 motorway and the Tarentaise valley road. Winter conditions or Saturday traffic near Moûtiers can add 20 to 30 minutes. We monitor conditions and communicate expected arrival times in advance.
Yes — Courchevel 1850, 1650 (Moriond), 1550, Le Praz (1300), and La Tania. Each village has its own fixed price (see the table above). We deliver to any address in the domain — chalet driveway, hotel entrance, or apartment block.
Yes. Lyon Airport (LYS) is 2h45 from Courchevel 1850, slightly farther than Geneva (2h00) but often with significantly cheaper flights — particularly from UK and Irish cities. For a group of six, the combined flight saving can exceed €1,000, easily justifying the extra 45 minutes in a Mercedes.
Yes. Ski bags, snowboard bags, boot bags, and helmets are transported free in all vehicles. Tell us the number of ski sets when booking and we confirm the right vehicle.
We monitor mountain road conditions from the A43 to the Courchevel gondola base before every departure. All vehicles carry winter tyres and snow chains. In exceptional snowfall we depart earlier and communicate the adjusted timeline. In nine years of Tarentaise transfers we have never been unable to complete a journey.
Yes — these are our busiest weeks. We operate every day at the same fixed prices. Christmas and New Year slots in Courchevel book out earliest, sometimes 2 to 3 months ahead. We recommend booking as soon as your flights are confirmed.
Yes. Book both legs together and save 5% on the return. For Saturday changeover departures, we recommend a pickup at least 3h30 before your flight — the Tarentaise valley is busy on Saturday mornings and we build in buffer time as standard.
