The Chambéry Airport to Les Houches 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 A40 runs past Sallanches to Le Fayet, and the N205 expressway carries on up the valley from there, so there is no long mountain climb on this route — Les Houches sits just off the N205, a few kilometres short of Chamonix. The last stretch is the valley road through the village, and that is where snow and changeover traffic slow things down.
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 Houches?
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. A private transfer is a vehicle for your party only: it leaves when you have landed and stops only at your door, from €229 for a 7-seat minivan and from €239 for an 8-seat minibus, which works out at from €29.88 each when eight travel together.

Chambéry to Les Houches 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. Les Houches has its own railway station, but the rail journey from Chambéry Airport involves changes and takes longer than the road transfer.
Taxi. A Chambéry to Les Houches 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 €215.
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 Houches?
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, so every vehicle heading for Les Houches goes past it. 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.
