Long-Distance Private Transfers in the French Alps
Need to reach a distant airport, ski resort or another city in France, Switzerland or Italy?
MANCHEC Taxi provides long-distance private transfers to and from the French Alps, with a vehicle reserved for your party and a journey organised around your destination.

Private chauffeur service for long-distance journeys
Some destinations require several hours on the road and are not always easy to reach by public transport from Alpine ski resorts.
One vehicle, no connections
A private transfer allows you to complete the entire journey in one vehicle, without changing trains, switching shuttles or managing several connections.
Tailored pickup
Pickup can be arranged from an airport, ski resort, hotel, chalet, residence or another road-accessible address.
Built for luggage and groups
The service is particularly convenient for travellers with several suitcases, ski equipment or children, and for groups.
Long-distance transfers to major European airports
Geneva, Lyon, Chambéry and Grenoble remain our four main airports. However, depending on your flight schedule or international itinerary, a more distant airport may occasionally be the better option. MANCHEC Taxi can arrange a long-distance private transfer on request.
Private transfer to Milan Airport
Milan can be a useful option for some international travellers when its flight schedules or connections better suit their ski holiday. We can arrange a private journey between the French Alps and airports in the Milan area (Malpensa, Linate, Bergamo), depending on your pickup point, final destination and travel conditions. For cross-border journeys, the fare is quoted according to the requested itinerary.
Private transfer to Zurich Airport
Zurich can also be an option for international flights when services from closer airports do not suit your travel plans. A private chauffeur allows you to travel directly between your Alpine resort or accommodation and Zurich Airport without changing transport along the way.
Private transfer to Turin Airport
On the Italian side of the Alps, Turin can also be used for certain journeys between Italy and French ski resorts. MANCHEC Taxi can arrange private transfers to or from Turin Airport depending on your final destination and the road and mountain conditions.
Our main airport transfers to the French Alps

When does a long-distance private transfer make sense?
Your flight arrives at a more distant airport
Milan, Zurich or Turin may occasionally offer a more convenient flight or schedule. A private chauffeur can then provide the complete journey between the airport and your Alpine destination.
You are travelling with a lot of luggage
Changing between trains, buses and shuttles can quickly become inconvenient with suitcases, skis or snowboards. With a private transfer, your belongings remain with you in the same vehicle.
You are travelling as a family or group
Several passengers can travel together without depending on public transport timetables or multiple connections.
You need to reach a hotel or chalet directly
Your transfer is arranged to the appropriate road-accessible point for your accommodation.
Your journey does not match a standard airport route
Not every trip fits a predefined airport-to-resort route. A custom journey can be considered according to your pickup point and destination.
One vehicle for the entire journey
One of the main advantages of a long-distance private transfer is simplicity. Once you are in the vehicle, there is no need to manage a series of connections.
Your driver takes you between the agreed pickup point and your final destination. For journeys lasting several hours, a break can naturally be included when required.
Luggage, skis and winter sports equipment
Long-distance journeys are often made at the beginning or end of a ski holiday. It is therefore important to tell us in advance what you will be travelling with.
This helps us organise the vehicle around the actual requirements of your journey. Skis, snowboards and luggage are included in your private transfer.
When requesting your transfer, please provide:
Number of passengers
Number of suitcases
Skis or snowboards
Pushchairs or child equipment
Any particularly large luggage
Long-distance transfers for families and groups
Travelling several hundred kilometres with multiple passengers requires suitable vehicle capacity.
For families and groups, a private van can provide additional space for both passengers and luggage.
Our vans can accommodate up to 8 passengers, subject to a configuration compatible with the luggage and equipment being carried.
Sedan
From 1 to 3 passengers, with skis and luggage included.
Van
From 4 to 8 passengers, with space for luggage and equipment.
Child seats
Child seats are included: simply tell us the children’s ages when requesting your transfer.
Outward and return
Both journeys can be organised together, with a single point of contact.
Cross-border transfers between France, Switzerland and Italy
Some long-distance transfers involve crossing an international border. This applies in particular to journeys between the French Alps and Geneva, Zurich, Milan or Turin.
Schedules should therefore include a suitable margin for the journey.
Journey times may vary depending on:
The chosen route
Traffic conditions
Weather
Winter road conditions
Border or Alpine crossings where applicable
An English-speaking driver who knows the mountain roads takes you from the airport to your destination, day or night, 24/7.
Your pickup time depends on:
Your flight departure time
The distance to the airport
Your ski resort
Your travel date
Expected traffic and weather conditions
Your long-distance return transfer to the airport
Travelling a long distance to catch a flight requires more planning than a local transfer. For journeys to Milan, Zurich, Turin or one of our main airports, the pickup time should be calculated with care.
We recommend not planning your departure solely around a theoretical driving time.
How much does a long-distance private transfer cost?

This allows the price to reflect the actual journey you need.
To prepare your quote, provide:
Pickup location
Destination
Date and preferred pickup time
Number of passengers
Luggage and ski equipment
