From La Plagne to Turin Airport (TRN) is 225 km, roughly 3 hours, dropping off the plateau through Aime, along the Tarentaise valley through Albertville, and through the Fréjus tunnel into Italy. Pickup is at your specific village on the plateau, with departure timed to give a comfortable margin before your flight over what is a genuinely long drive.
Route overview
Whichever of La Plagne’s villages you’re staying in — Belle Plagne, Plagne Centre, Montchavin or one of the others — the journey to Turin begins with coming down off the plateau to Aime before joining the Tarentaise valley proper. It’s a longer first stretch than most Tarentaise resorts, simply because of how high and spread out La Plagne’s villages sit, and the drive that follows is long too, since the Vanoise massif leaves no direct road toward Turin.
From Aime the route runs down the valley through Albertville, through the Fréjus tunnel, and onto the Piedmont plain toward Turin. A private car collecting from your exact village removes the need to get yourself and your luggage down to a central pickup point first, and one driver covering the whole three-hour run beats any changeover along the way.
Your private transfer
Your driver arrives at your accommodation on the La Plagne plateau at a time set around your flight, allowing for the descent through Aime before joining the Tarentaise valley. The route then runs east through the valley via Albertville and crosses into Italy via the Fréjus tunnel, with margin built in for tunnel traffic, before the final stretch to Turin Airport departures. It’s a long journey covered comfortably in a single private vehicle.
