The Road There

From Chambéry or Lyon, the route runs the A43 and A430 past Albertville, then climbs the Tarentaise valley on the D915/D91 through Moûtiers and Bozel to Courchevel.

From Geneva, the drive follows the A41 and A43 south past Annecy and Chambéry before joining the same Tarentaise route through Albertville and Moûtiers.

The final climb from Moûtiers to Courchevel 1850 gains around 1,300 metres of altitude in a series of switchbacks. Winter tyres or chains are compulsory equipment in France in the Savoie department during winter; Vezzora's vehicles carry them.

Arriving in Courchevel

Courchevel 1850 is the main resort centre, with hotels and chalets reachable by road year-round in normal conditions. Courchevel 1300 (Le Praz), 1550 and 1650 sit lower down the same access road.

Vezzora drops you at your accommodation's address directly; unlike some higher Tarentaise resorts, Courchevel's villages are not pedestrian-only, so there is no separate shuttle or transfer stage.

Weekend Travel

Saturdays can take one to two hours longer than weekdays. Mornings are faster than afternoons, and traffic builds on the N90 between Albertville and Moûtiers during the Saturday changeover.

If you're travelling on a Saturday during the Three Valleys' peak weeks, allow at least one extra hour beyond whatever Google Maps or Waze shows.

How Vezzora Transfers Work

  • Your chauffeur contacts you the day before to confirm the meeting point and time, so please leave a real mobile number when booking.
  • Geneva arrivals are met on the Swiss side of the airport.
  • Every flight is tracked, and pickup adjusts to the actual landing time. The first 60 minutes of waiting are free, counted from your flight's scheduled arrival time.
  • Snow chains are fitted only when police require them, or when snow and ice make it impossible to continue safely.
  • The Renault Trafic suits larger groups with skis or snowboards; the Mercedes V-Class suits couples, families and small groups.
  • Weekend (+30%) and night (+20%) surcharges are shown in your quote before you book. The price is fixed once confirmed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which airport is closest to Courchevel?

Chambéry Airport (CMF) is the closest, at around 109 km. Lyon (LYS) and Geneva (GVA) are the other two airports Vezzora serves for Courchevel.

Do you serve Courchevel Altiport?

No. Courchevel Altiport is a short mountain airstrip for small aircraft only, not a commercial airport, and Vezzora does not operate transfers to or from it.

Can you drop me at a specific chalet in Courchevel 1850?

Yes. Give us the chalet name and address when booking and your chauffeur will confirm the exact meeting point the day before.

Which side of Geneva Airport will my driver meet me?

Geneva Airport straddles the French and Swiss borders. Your Vezzora chauffeur meets you on the Swiss arrivals side unless you tell us in advance that you're arriving via the French sector.

What happens if my flight is delayed?

We track your flight and adjust pickup to the actual landing time. The first 60 minutes of waiting are free, counted from your flight's scheduled arrival time. Beyond that, additional waiting time is charged.

Are weekend and night surcharges included in the price?

The quoted price already reflects them. A 30% weekend surcharge applies on Saturdays and Sundays, and a 20% night surcharge applies between 22:00 and 06:00.
