The Lyon Airport to Sainte-Foy-Tarentaise route in detail
The drive leaves Lyon Airport on the A43 east towards Chambéry, then the N90 up the Tarentaise valley. From Bourg-Saint-Maurice the road climbs through Séez and on up the D902 to Sainte-Foy-Tarentaise. The stretch through Bourg-Saint-Maurice and Séez is the known bottleneck on Saturday changeover days.
Bourg-Saint-Maurice is where the fast road ends and the mountain section begins. The climb from there up to Sainte-Foy-Tarentaise takes 30 to 50 minutes depending on conditions — a winding ascent that gains altitude the whole way, and the part of the journey where knowing the road actually matters.
Winter driving on this route
Under the Loi Montagne, vehicles travelling to French Alpine resorts must carry winter tyres or snow chains between 1 November and 31 March. This is enforced, not advisory. Our vehicles run on winter tyres with chains carried as standard, so the driver fits them where the road demands it instead of joining the queue on the roadside above Bourg-Saint-Maurice.
The upper D902 hairpins hold snowpack through the season, and the climb past Séez is where under-equipped vehicles come unstuck. Satellite navigation will sometimes route over cols that are closed all winter — the Col de l’Iseran above the head of this valley, the Cormet de Roselend and the Petit Saint-Bernard among them. Drivers who run these roads daily do not follow a screen into them.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long is the transfer from Lyon Airport to Sainte-Foy-Tarentaise?
Around 2h 24min for 201 km in normal conditions. Allow longer on peak Saturdays and in heavy snow, when the mountain section slows considerably.
How much does a transfer from Lyon Airport to Sainte-Foy-Tarentaise cost?
From €292 for a private vehicle carrying up to 8 passengers — about €36.50 per person when the vehicle is full. That is the weekday rate; Saturday and peak dates are priced higher, and the exact price is calculated on the real road distance to your address.
Do I need snow chains for a transfer to Sainte-Foy-Tarentaise?
Not for our transfers — the vehicle is already equipped. Under the Loi Montagne, vehicles travelling to French Alpine resorts must carry winter tyres or snow chains between 1 November and 31 March. This is enforced, not advisory. We carry chains on every winter transfer and the driver fits them when the road requires it.
Why does the route go through Bourg-Saint-Maurice?
Because there is no way around it. Bourg-Saint-Maurice is the gateway to this valley, and every vehicle heading to Sainte-Foy-Tarentaise passes through it. It is also where peak-Saturday traffic concentrates.
Is the transfer private?
Yes. The vehicle is yours alone, door to door, with no shared stops and no waiting for other passengers to arrive.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
Your flight is tracked and the driver adjusts to the actual landing time, at no extra charge. You do not need to rebook or call ahead.
