From Les Arcs to Turin Airport (TRN) is 230 km, about 3 hours, descending to Bourg-Saint-Maurice, along the Tarentaise valley through Albertville, and through the Fréjus tunnel into Italy. Your driver collects you at your specific tier of the resort and builds in time for the switchback descent and the long drive before the border crossing.
Route overview
Les Arcs’ tiered layout — 1600 down to 2000 near the glacier — means the return journey starts with a descent before it even reaches the valley floor at Bourg-Saint-Maurice. From there, the road east to Turin is a genuinely long one: the length of the Tarentaise valley through Albertville, then the Fréjus tunnel back into Piedmont, since the Vanoise massif leaves no shorter option.
Rather than a shuttle down to a central point followed by a separate transfer, a private car collects you at your actual building, wherever it sits on the mountain, and takes the whole run to the airport in one comfortable vehicle.
Your private transfer
Your driver arrives at your accommodation in Les Arcs — 1600, 1800, 1950 or 2000 — at a time built around your flight and the extra minutes the switchback descent to Bourg-Saint-Maurice can take. From there the route follows the Tarentaise valley east through Albertville and crosses into Italy via the Fréjus tunnel, with a comfortable margin allowed for tunnel traffic before the final run to Turin Airport departures. It’s a long journey home, covered start to finish in one private vehicle.
