The Lyon Airport to Valmorel route in detail
The drive leaves Lyon Airport on the A43 east towards Chambéry and Albertville, then the N90 up the Tarentaise valley. Valmorel sits above the valley floor at Aigueblanche, just short of Moûtiers, so this transfer turns off the main road earlier than most Tarentaise resorts.
Aigueblanche is where the fast road ends and the mountain section begins. The climb from there up to Valmorel on the D95 takes 20 to 30 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 on the roadside above Aigueblanche.
The D95 hairpins above Aigueblanche hold snowpack through the season, and that climb is where under-equipped vehicles come unstuck. Satellite navigation will sometimes route over cols that are closed all winter — the Col de la Madeleine immediately above Valmorel, the Col de l’Iseran and the Cormet de Roselend among them. Drivers who run these roads daily do not follow a screen into them.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long is the transfer from Lyon Airport to Valmorel?
Around 2h for 173 km in normal conditions. Allow longer on peak Saturdays and in heavy snow, when the mountain section slows considerably.
How much does a transfer from Lyon Airport to Valmorel cost?
From €271 for a private vehicle carrying up to 8 passengers — about €33.88 per person when the vehicle is full. That is the weekday rate; Saturday and peak dates are priced higher, and the exact price is calculated on the real road distance to your address.
Do I need snow chains for a transfer to Valmorel?
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 Aigueblanche?
Because there is no way around it. Aigueblanche is where the D95 leaves the Tarentaise road, and every vehicle heading to Valmorel passes through it. It is also where peak-Saturday traffic concentrates.
Is the transfer private?
Yes. The vehicle is yours alone, door to door, with no shared stops and no waiting for other passengers to arrive.
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.
