Turin Airport (TRN) to La Plagne covers 225 km in around 3 hours, through the Fréjus tunnel, via Albertville, and up the Tarentaise valley to the resort’s 1,970 m plateau above Aime. Fixed price, flight tracking and a door-to-door drive are included, whichever of La Plagne’s villages you’re staying in.
Route overview
La Plagne is really a cluster of villages spread across a high plateau above the town of Aime, and the drive from Turin reflects both halves of that geography — the long detour around the Vanoise massif via the Fréjus tunnel and Albertville, followed by the climb up onto the plateau itself, with the road forking toward whichever of La Plagne’s ten-plus villages you’re headed for.
It’s a genuinely long transfer, one of the longer ones on this route list, simply because La Plagne sits well up the Tarentaise valley and high onto its own plateau. A private driver who already knows which fork to take at Aime, and who paces a three-hour-plus drive properly, is worth far more here than a shared shuttle stopping at every village en route.
Your private transfer
Your driver meets you in the arrivals hall at Turin Airport, loads your skis and luggage, and heads west through the Fréjus tunnel into France. From there the road drops toward Albertville before turning back up the full Tarentaise valley through Bourg-Saint-Maurice and Aime, climbing onto the La Plagne plateau, with your driver taking the correct fork for your specific village — Plagne Centre, Belle Plagne, Montchavin or any of the others. It’s a long, relaxed drive in one continuous vehicle. You’re dropped directly at your accommodation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long is the transfer from Turin Airport to La Plagne?
Around 3 hours for the 225 km journey. The Vanoise massif rules out a direct road, so the route detours via the Fréjus tunnel and Albertville before climbing onto the plateau.
Why does this transfer take so much longer than the distance between Turin and La Plagne suggests?
There’s no direct mountain road linking them. The drive has to go around via the Fréjus tunnel and Albertville before turning back up the Tarentaise valley, which adds significant time.
La Plagne has many villages — will we be taken to the right one?
Yes, your driver knows the plateau’s road network and takes you directly to your booked village, whether that’s Plagne Centre, Belle Plagne or Montchavin.
Do you cross into France via the Fréjus tunnel?
Yes, the route runs through the Fréjus tunnel, past Albertville, and along the Tarentaise valley through Aime before climbing to La Plagne.
Can you carry our ski and snowboard bags?
Yes, ski and snowboard equipment travels free of charge for every passenger on this route.
What if our flight into Turin is delayed?
Your flight is tracked automatically and your driver adjusts pickup accordingly, at no extra cost.
