Where will I meet my driver at Grenoble Airport?
Once you have your bags, your driver is waiting at Grenoble Alpes Isère Airport at the spot indicated in your booking confirmation.
The airport is located in Saint-Étienne-de-Saint-Geoirs, west of the main Alpine road network, so the journey to Val Thorens begins with a first section across the Isère region before continuing towards Savoie.
Your driver follows your flight and sets the pickup time around when you actually land.
Once everyone is on board, your private vehicle heads straight to Val Thorens: no shared shuttle, no change of transport and no waiting for other travellers.
Is your flight delayed into Grenoble?
We monitor your flight before arrival.
Should your landing time change, your pickup is moved to match the real arrival time at Grenoble Alpes Isère Airport.
The journey from Grenoble Airport to Val Thorens
From Grenoble Alpes Isère Airport, the first stretch runs across the Isère before the route gradually picks up the main roads into Savoie.
The route then continues towards Albertville, the gateway to the Tarentaise valley.
From Albertville, your driver follows the N90 through the Tarentaise towards Moûtiers.
At Moûtiers, the journey leaves the main valley road and begins the full climb through the Belleville valley.
The route first passes the Saint-Martin-de-Belleville area, then continues through Les Menuires before climbing further to Val Thorens.
This journey is different from many other Grenoble ski transfers because the final mountain section is particularly long. Val Thorens is located at the very top of the Belleville valley, so the transfer continues for around 37 km after Moûtiers before reaching the resort.
The Grenoble route also has its own travel profile: unlike Chambéry, it requires a longer approach before entering the Tarentaise, but a private transfer still provides a direct journey without rail or coach connections.
During winter, traffic around Albertville, Moûtiers and throughout the Belleville valley can significantly affect the journey time. Saturdays during school holiday periods are particularly busy.
Arriving in Val Thorens
After passing Les Menuires, your driver continues the climb to Val Thorens, located at around 2,300 metres above sea level.
The resort sits at the highest point of the Belleville valley and has a different layout from many traditional Alpine resorts.
Val Thorens is semi-pedestrian, and some areas have specific access and drop-off rules.
Your driver heads to the part of the resort corresponding to your accommodation and drops you at the most suitable road-accessible point.
It is therefore important to provide the exact name of your hotel, residence or chalet when booking.
Because Val Thorens is built across several levels, two properties that appear close together may require different road access.
During heavy snowfall, local traffic arrangements and drop-off areas may also be temporarily adjusted.
