Enter your exact pickup and drop-off address — not just a resort name. Our booking system is connected to Google Maps and prices by the real distance of your journey in kilometres, so you pay a fair rate for your actual trip — not a fixed resort-zone price like many other companies.
Private transfers from Turin Airport (TRN) to Les Arcs cover 230 km in about 3 hours, via the Fréjus tunnel, Albertville and the Tarentaise valley up to the resort’s 1,600 m base above Bourg-Saint-Maurice. One vehicle, one fixed price, and a driver who knows exactly which of the Arcs villages you’re staying in.
Route overview
Les Arcs is built in tiers up the mountainside above Bourg-Saint-Maurice, from Arc 1600 near the valley floor to Arc 2000 close to the glacier, and the road from Turin has to account for that spread as well as the Vanoise massif that rules out any direct crossing. The journey runs west through the Fréjus tunnel, down to Albertville, then back up the full length of the Tarentaise valley before the final switchback climb to whichever level of Les Arcs you’ve booked.
Because the resort connects to the valley by funicular as well as road, plenty of visitors default to trains and transfers with a changeover partway. Over a drive this long, that only adds friction. A private transfer skips it entirely: one car, from the terminal to your apartment door, regardless of which Arc you’re in.
Your private transfer
Your driver meets you at Turin Airport arrivals, loads skis and cases, and heads west through the Fréjus tunnel into French Savoie. From there the road drops toward Albertville before turning up the full Tarentaise valley through Bourg-Saint-Maurice and climbing the access road into Les Arcs, with your driver already knowing whether that means Arc 1600, 1800, 1950 or 2000. It’s a long, easy drive to settle into — one vehicle the whole way. You’re dropped at your specific building, not a shared funicular station.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the transfer from Turin Airport to Les Arcs take?
Around 3 hours for the 230 km journey, since the Vanoise massif forces the road around via the Fréjus tunnel and Albertville rather than a direct line.
Why is this transfer so much longer than the straight-line distance?
There’s no direct mountain road between Turin and Les Arcs. The route has to detour via the Fréjus tunnel and Albertville before climbing back up the Tarentaise valley, which adds real distance and time.
Which of the Arcs villages do you take us to?
Wherever you’ve booked — Arc 1600, 1800, 1950 or 2000 — your driver takes you directly there rather than to a shared valley drop-off.
Do we need to use the funicular after our transfer?
No, the private transfer drives directly up to your accommodation, so there’s no need to change to the funicular from Bourg-Saint-Maurice.
Is ski equipment carried at no extra charge?
Yes, skis, snowboards and boot bags are carried free for every passenger on this route.
What if our flight into Turin is delayed?
We track your flight automatically and adjust your pickup time to match, so a delay never means an extra fee or a missed driver.
