The Chambéry Airport to Montgenèvre route in detail

The drive leaves Chambéry Airport on the A43 and runs the length of the Maurienne valley to Modane, then crosses into Italy through the Fréjus tunnel. On the Italian side the A32 drops down to Oulx, where the SS24 turns back west through Cesana Torinese for the final climb to the pass.

Oulx is where the fast road ends and the mountain section begins. The climb from there up to Montgenèvre takes 15 to 30 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.

Montgenèvre sits on the border at 1,860 m, so the village is reached from the Italian side and Briançon lies about 12 km further down the N94 inside France. The all-French alternative runs through Grenoble and over the Col du Lautaret and is roughly 30 km longer. Carry a passport or national ID card. The tunnel toll is included in the price quoted.

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 climb out of Cesana.

The Fréjus tunnel is open year-round, and the Col de Montgenèvre is one of the few high Alpine passes kept open right through the winter. It is cleared rather than closed, but heavy snowfall still slows the SS24 hairpins to walking pace. 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long is the transfer from Chambéry Airport to Montgenèvre?

Around 2h 1min for 155 km in normal conditions. Allow longer on peak Saturdays and in heavy snow, when the mountain section slows considerably.

From €228 for a private vehicle carrying up to 8 passengers — €28.50 per person when the vehicle is full. That is the weekday rate; Saturday and peak dates are priced higher. The price is calculated on the real road distance to your exact address — get your exact quote in 2 minutes.

Do I need snow chains for a transfer to Montgenèvre?

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 Briançon?

It does not. Montgenèvre sits on the border above Cesana Torinese, so the approach from Chambéry comes up the SS24 from the Italian side. Briançon is about 12 km further on, down the N94 below the village on the French side.

Does this transfer cross into Italy?

Yes, for the middle section. The route runs through the Fréjus tunnel to Oulx and re-enters France at the Montgenèvre pass, which is shorter than the all-French road through Grenoble and over the Col du Lautaret. Bring a passport or national ID card. The tunnel toll is included in the price quoted.

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.
