Enter your exact pickup and drop-off address — not just a resort name. Our booking system is connected to Google Maps and prices by the real distance of your journey in kilometres, so you pay a fair rate for your actual trip — not a fixed resort-zone price like many other companies.
From La Thuile to Chambéry Airport (CMF) is 205 km, about 2 hours 30 minutes, down through Courmayeur, the Mont Blanc tunnel and the Chamonix valley to the airport. Pickup is direct from your chalet or hotel, timed around your flight’s check-in window.
Route overview
The return from La Thuile to Chambéry follows the Little St Bernard descent through Courmayeur before the Mont Blanc tunnel, then a more direct run through the Chamonix valley than the routes back to Lyon or Grenoble. At two and a half hours, it’s still a cross-border drive worth planning properly rather than rushing.
A private driver builds the schedule around the tunnel crossing and Chambéry’s check-in window, so there’s no last-minute scramble on the morning of your flight.
Your private transfer
Your driver collects you from your chalet or hotel in La Thuile and takes the road down through Courmayeur before joining the Mont Blanc tunnel back into France. From there the route follows the Chamonix valley toward Chambéry, with a comfortable margin built in before check-in closes. You’re dropped directly at the terminal, no changeover along the way.
