The Chambéry Airport to Les Contamines-Montjoie route in detail

The drive leaves Chambéry Airport on the A41 north past Annecy, then the A40 into the Arve valley. The A40 is the only motorway into this valley, so peak-Saturday traffic has nowhere else to disperse to and the queue builds on the motorway itself rather than in a town.

The motorway is left at Le Fayet, just past Sallanches, and the D902 climbs from there through Saint-Gervais-les-Bains and on up the Val Montjoie. That last stretch takes 20 to 40 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 at the foot of the climb.

The A40 is cleared and gritted continuously and stays open in heavy snow, though the limit drops from 130 km/h to 110 and, in poor visibility, to 90 or 70. Satellite navigation will sometimes route over cols that are closed all winter — the Col de la Madeleine, Col de l’Iseran and Cormet de Roselend among them. Drivers who run these roads daily do not follow a screen into them.

Private or shared transfer from Chambéry to Les Contamines-Montjoie?

We offer both. The standard or shared transfer is the lowest fare: it is for parties of up to 3 passengers, runs door to door, and you may share the minivan with other travellers, with a maximum of 3 stops on the route (if no other travellers book the same journey, it runs as a standard transfer for your party alone); under our terms the airport pick-up for a shared transfer may take place up to two hours after the scheduled time.

Chambéry to Les Contamines-Montjoie by bus, shuttle, train or taxi

Bus and shuttle. Scheduled coaches and shared shuttle buses, where they run on this route, work to fixed timetables and stop at set points rather than at your door, so check the times against your flight.

Train. The nearest railway station to Les Contamines-Montjoie is Saint-Gervais-les-Bains-Le Fayet; from there you still need a bus, taxi or lift connection up to the resort.

Taxi. A Chambéry to Les Contamines-Montjoie taxi taken from the airport rank is priced on the day rather than agreed in advance. A pre-booked transfer is the same door-to-door journey with the price confirmed before you travel, from €217.

By car. With car hire you drive the mountain road yourself and need winter tyres or snow chains in season.

Do I need snow chains for a transfer to Les Contamines-Montjoie?

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 Sallanches?

Because the A40 passes it. Sallanches sits on the only motorway into the upper Arve valley, and the road for Les Contamines-Montjoie leaves the motorway just beyond it at Le Fayet. It is also where peak-Saturday traffic concentrates.

Is the transfer private?

You choose when you book. A private vehicle (a 7-seat minivan, an 8-seat minibus or a premium minivan) is for your party only, door to door. The lowest fare is the standard or shared transfer for up to 3 passengers: also door to door, in a minivan you may share with other travellers, with a maximum of 3 stops on the route; if no other travellers book the same journey, it runs as a standard transfer for your party alone.

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.
