Your private taxi in Val Thorens
MANCHEC Taxi provides private airport transfers to and from Val Thorens, with direct pickup and drop-off at your hotel, residence or chalet.
Located at around 2,300 metres above sea level, Val Thorens is the highest resort in the 3 Valleys and one of the most distinctive ski destinations to reach during winter.
From Moûtiers, the road follows the Belleville Valley, passing the Saint-Martin-de-Belleville area and Les Menuires before beginning the final climb to Val Thorens.
Because the resort sits at the top of the valley, a private transfer is especially convenient: the same driver and vehicle stay with you throughout the journey, without train, coach or local shuttle connections.
Our service is suitable for families, ski groups and passengers travelling with several suitcases, skis or snowboards.
We provide private transfers between Val Thorens and the four main airports used by travellers visiting the resort:
Geneva Airport
Lyon-Saint Exupéry Airport
Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport
Grenoble Alpes Isère Airport

Whichever airport you arrive at, the final section of the journey follows the valley from Moûtiers and continues uphill all the way to the resort.
Our four dedicated airport transfer pages provide route-specific information about airport pickup, journey times, winter travel and arrival in Val Thorens.
Geneva Airport → Val Thorens
200 km · about 2 h 45 to 3 h
Geneva Airport is one of the main international gateways for travellers heading to Val Thorens.
The road journey is approximately 200 km and generally takes around 2 hours 45 minutes to 3 hours in favourable traffic conditions.

Lyon-Saint Exupéry offers a broad range of domestic and international flights and is another major airport for reaching Val Thorens.

Your vehicle remains reserved exclusively for your group throughout the entire journey.

Chambéry is the closest of the four main airports serving Val Thorens.
The road journey is approximately 120 km and usually takes around 1 hour 30 minutes to 1 hour 45 minutes in normal conditions.
Its location in Savoie provides a shorter approach to Albertville and Moûtiers before the climb through the Belleville Valley.

We also provide private transfers between Grenoble Alpes Isère Airport and Val Thorens.

Your driver collects you directly from the airport and continues to Val Thorens without any change of vehicle.
Where will your driver drop you off in Val Thorens?
Val Thorens is relatively compact, but its steep layout means your exact accommodation location still matters.
Hotels, chalets and residences are spread across several areas of the resort, including:
Grande Rue · Rue du Soleil · Place Caron · Péclet · Les Balcons · Lombarde
Your driver prepares the final drop-off according to the accommodation details provided when you book.
Resort centre and Place Caron
The central area includes a large concentration of residences, hotels, shops and services.
Road access is organised around the different parts of the resort, so your driver uses the most suitable drop-off point for your accommodation.
Rue du Soleil
Rue du Soleil serves many properties in the lower part of Val Thorens.
If you are staying in this area, providing the full property name when booking helps us prepare the correct arrival point.
Péclet and the upper resort
Properties around Péclet and the higher sections of Val Thorens require the vehicle to continue further into the resort.
During winter, snow and local traffic arrangements can affect the final few minutes of the journey.
Chalets, hotels and residences
Some properties have direct road access, while others are served by nearby drop-off zones.
Always provide the exact name of your accommodation so your driver can reach the most appropriate accessible point.
A private transfer designed for Val Thorens
Families
After a flight, travelling directly to your accommodation avoids managing several transport connections with children, luggage and ski equipment.
Child seats are available on request.
Groups
Private vans can accommodate up to 8 passengers, depending on luggage and ski equipment requirements.
The vehicle is reserved exclusively for your group.
Skis and snowboards
Val Thorens is a major winter ski destination, so our transfer service is designed for passengers travelling with winter sports equipment.
Simply declare your skis, snowboards and luggage when booking.
High-altitude winter travel
The final part of the road to Val Thorens climbs into the mountains and reaches approximately 2,300 metres.
Winter conditions can change quickly at this altitude.
For return journeys to the airport, pickup times should therefore allow for the expected traffic and weather conditions.
A ski resort at the end of the Belleville Valley
Val Thorens has one important feature that sets it apart from many other Alpine resorts: the road effectively ends at the resort.
From Moûtiers, the journey climbs progressively through the Belleville Valley, passing Saint-Martin-de-Belleville and Les Menuires before continuing to Val Thorens.
There is no shorter road approach that bypasses this valley climb.
This makes traffic conditions in the Belleville Valley especially important when planning airport transfers to or from Val Thorens.
On peak winter Saturdays, the actual journey can take considerably longer than the theoretical driving time.
For departures to the airport, we therefore recommend allowing a suitable safety margin according to the expected conditions.
