Lyon Airport (LYS) to Courmayeur is 280 km, roughly 3 hours, via Chambéry, the Chamonix valley and the Mont Blanc tunnel, arriving directly at the Italian mouth of the tunnel where Courmayeur sits at 1,224 m. One fixed fare, one private vehicle, all the way to your door.
Route overview
Courmayeur sits right where the Mont Blanc tunnel opens onto the Italian side, so however you approach it from France, the tunnel is the defining feature of the drive. From Lyon that means a run east past Chambéry and into the Chamonix valley before the crossing itself, then a short final stretch into the resort.
At three hours with an international tunnel in the middle, this is a route best left to a driver who knows the crossing and the resort’s narrow streets, rather than a rental car navigating both for the first time. You’re taken straight to your hotel or chalet door, not a car park at the tunnel exit.
Your private transfer
Your driver meets you at Lyon arrivals with a name board and loads luggage and ski bags before heading east toward Chambéry and into the Chamonix valley, with Mont Blanc rising ahead. The Mont Blanc tunnel carries you into Italy in around fifteen minutes, and Courmayeur sits just beyond the tunnel mouth, reached within minutes of the crossing. You’re dropped directly at your hotel or chalet door, no changeover along the way.
