Choose the Lyon to Courchevel ski transfer that suits your party: a standard or shared transfer for up to 3 passengers, door to door in a minivan you may share with other travellers (maximum 3 stops on the route; if no other travellers book the same journey, it runs as a standard transfer for your party alone), or a private vehicle for your party only, from a 7-seat minivan to an 8-seat minibus, which suits families and groups. Luggage, skis and snowboards travel at no extra charge.

Why Choose a Door-to-Door Transfer to Courchevel?
From Lyon the route runs along the A43 and A430 to Moûtiers, then climbs the D915 up through Le Praz and the four Courchevel villages. The mountain road serving Courchevel 1550, 1650 and 1850 is well engineered but steep, with tight bends that can be tricky in fresh snow. A private driver takes you straight to the correct village level and address — a real advantage in a resort spread across several altitudes — without the stops and transfers of a shared coach.

About Courchevel
Courchevel is one of the most prestigious resorts in the Three Valleys, made up of five villages rising from Saint-Bon at 1,100 metres to Courchevel 1850. It offers direct access to the vast 600 km Three Valleys ski area, immaculately groomed pistes, and a concentration of luxury hotels, Michelin-starred restaurants and designer boutiques. The resort caters to every level, from the gentle nursery slopes of 1650 to the challenging couloirs of the Saulire.
The Lyon Airport to Courchevel route in detail
The drive leaves Lyon Airport on the A43 towards Chambéry before joining the A430 towards Albertville, then following the N90 up the Tarentaise valley to Moûtiers. Every vehicle bound for the Three Valleys passes through Moûtiers — there is no alternative approach — so the town is the single point where peak-Saturday traffic concentrates.
Moûtiers is where the motorway ends and the mountain section begins. The climb from Moûtiers up to Courchevel takes 30 to 45 minutes depending on conditions — a continuously 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 at the Moûtiers roundabout.
On snowy Saturdays the police routinely require chains to be fitted at the Moûtiers roundabout, which is what turns the town into a queue in peak weeks. Satellite navigation will sometimes route over cols that are closed all winter — the Col de la Madeleine, Col de l’Iseran, Cormet de Roselend and Col du Petit-Saint-Bernard among them. Drivers who run these roads daily do not follow a screen into them.
How much does a Lyon to Courchevel transfer cost?
A Lyon to Courchevel transfer costs from €284 (approx. £244) at the weekday rate, with luggage and skis included. That is the standard or shared transfer for up to 3 passengers, priced per booking. Private vehicles are priced per vehicle, not per seat:
| Transfer | From (weekday) | Per person when full |
|---|---|---|
| Standard or shared, up to 3 passengers | €284 (approx. £244) | €94.67 |
| Private 7-seat minivan | €300 (approx. £258) | €42.86 |
| Private 8-seat minibus | €315 (approx. £271) | €39.38 |

Private or shared transfer from Lyon to Courchevel?
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 €300 for a 7-seat minivan and from €315 for an 8-seat minibus, which works out at from €39.38 each when eight travel together. Read our guide to shared vs private transfer cost per person.
Lyon to Courchevel 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 Courchevel is Moûtiers-Salins-Brides-les-Bains; from there you still need a bus, taxi or lift connection up to the resort.
Taxi. A Lyon to Courchevel 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 €284.
By car. With car hire you drive the mountain road yourself and need winter tyres or snow chains in season.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long is the transfer from Lyon Airport to Courchevel?
The journey is around 190 km and takes approximately 2h 20min in normal conditions. Peak changeover Saturdays and heavy snow on the climb above Moûtiers can add extra time.
Which Courchevel villages do you serve?
We drop off at all Courchevel levels — Saint-Bon, Le Praz (1300), Courchevel Village (1550), Moriond (1650) and Courchevel 1850 — taking you directly to your chosen address.
What are the winter road conditions like?
The motorway to Moûtiers is well maintained, while the D915 up to Courchevel is steep and frequently snow-covered in winter. Our vehicles carry snow chains and our drivers know every bend of the ascent.
Is ski and snowboard equipment included?
Yes. Skis, snowboards and luggage travel free of charge. Just tell us your group size and equipment when booking so we send the right vehicle.
Can I book a return transfer to Lyon Airport?
Yes. We offer fixed-price return transfers from Courchevel to Lyon-Saint Exupéry. Book both directions together and your driver will confirm the resort pick-up time.
Do I need snow chains for a transfer to Courchevel?
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 Moûtiers?
Because there is no way around it. Moûtiers is the gateway to this valley, and every vehicle heading to Courchevel passes through it. It is also where peak-Saturday traffic concentrates, which is why the same journey can take noticeably longer on a changeover day.
How much of the journey is mountain road?
The motorway section runs as far as Moûtiers. From there the climb to Courchevel takes 30 to 45 minutes, and that final section is the part most affected by snow and weekend traffic.
