Chambéry Airport to Sestriere is 215 km, roughly 3 hours, running south via Grenoble to Briançon and over the Col de Montgenèvre into Italy, down to the resort’s 2,035 m Via Lattea village. It sits between the shorter Grenoble route and the longer Geneva/Lyon hauls, and travels in one private vehicle for a fixed price.
Route overview
Chambéry sits south-east of Geneva and Lyon but still needs to pick up the Grenoble corridor before turning toward Briançon and the Col de Montgenèvre — a route that’s noticeably shorter than Geneva’s or Lyon’s but longer than the direct Grenoble run, simply because of where the airport sits relative to the pass.
A private transfer means one driver managing the link road to Grenoble, the Montgenèvre crossing, and Sestriere’s final approach — rather than a rental car and an unfamiliar mountain pass on a first visit.
Your private transfer
Your driver meets you in the arrivals hall at Chambéry Airport with a name board and loads luggage and ski bags before heading south. The route runs via Grenoble toward Briançon, climbs to cross the Col de Montgenèvre into Italy, and descends through the Via Lattea toward Sestriere. You’re taken directly to your hotel or chalet door, with no car park hand-off along the way.
