The Lyon Airport to Avoriaz route in detail
The drive leaves Lyon Airport on the motorway north past Annecy and Cluses, leaving it for the D902. From Cluses the D902 — part of the Route des Grandes Alpes — climbs through Châtillon-sur-Cluses, Taninges and Les Gets to Morzine, and the last stretch up to Avoriaz leaves Morzine on the D338. It is a single mountain road serving the whole valley, so a slow vehicle ahead sets the pace for everyone behind it.
Cluses is where the fast road ends and the mountain section begins. The climb from there up to Avoriaz takes 30 to 45 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.
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 in Taninges.
Chains are needed on the D902 more often than most visitors expect, and fitting them adds ten to fifteen minutes to the journey. The final climb from Morzine to Avoriaz is the steepest part of the drive and the section most often affected by fresh snow. Satellite navigation will sometimes route over the Col de Joux Plane between Samoëns and Morzine, which is closed all winter. Drivers who run these roads daily do not follow a screen into it.

Private or shared transfer from Lyon to Avoriaz?
We offer both. The standard or shared transfer is the lowest fare: it is for parties of up to 3 passengers, runs door to door, and you may share the minivan with other travellers, with a maximum of 3 stops on the route (if no other travellers book the same journey, it runs as a standard transfer for your party alone); under our terms the airport pick-up for a shared transfer may take place up to two hours after the scheduled time. A private transfer is a vehicle for your party only: it leaves when you have landed and stops only at your door, from €338 for a 7-seat minivan and from €357 for an 8-seat minibus, which works out at from €44.63 each when eight travel together. Read our guide to shared vs private transfer cost per person.
Lyon to Avoriaz by bus, shuttle, train or taxi
Bus and shuttle. Scheduled coaches and shared shuttle buses, where they run on this route, work to fixed timetables and stop at set points rather than at your door, so check the times against your flight.
Train. The nearest railway station to Avoriaz is Cluses or Thonon-les-Bains; from there you still need a bus, taxi or lift connection up to the resort.
Taxi. A Lyon to Avoriaz taxi taken from the airport rank is priced on the day rather than agreed in advance. A pre-booked transfer is the same door-to-door journey with the price confirmed before you travel, from €328.
By car. With car hire you drive the mountain road yourself and need winter tyres or snow chains in season.

Around 2h 45min for 225 km in normal conditions. Allow longer on peak Saturdays and in heavy snow, when the mountain section slows considerably.

Where exactly does the transfer stop in Avoriaz?
Avoriaz is a car-free resort. In winter all vehicles stop at the Avoriaz Unloading Area next to the Accueil Station at the resort entrance — the closest point any car is permitted to reach. From there you continue the short final leg to your accommodation using the resort’s own arrangements.
Do I need snow chains for a transfer to Avoriaz?
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 Cluses?
Because there is no way around it. Cluses is the gateway to this valley, and every vehicle heading to Avoriaz passes through it. It is also where peak-Saturday traffic concentrates.
Is the transfer private?
You choose when you book. A private vehicle (a 7-seat minivan, an 8-seat minibus or a premium minivan) is for your party only, door to door. The lowest fare is the standard or shared transfer for up to 3 passengers: also door to door, in a minivan you may share with other travellers, with a maximum of 3 stops on the route; if no other travellers book the same journey, it runs as a standard transfer for your party alone.
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.
