Where will I meet my driver at Lyon Airport?
When your plane touches down at Lyon-Saint Exupéry and your bags are in hand, walk to the pickup spot specified in the confirmation of your reservation.
Your driver checks your flight status ahead of your arrival and times the pickup to your real landing time.
When your group is ready, you set off from the airport for La Plagne in a private vehicle used for no one but you.
For skiers with several suitcases, skis or snowboards, this removes any transfer between trains, coaches or shared shuttles, and the ride continues from the terminal all the way to your resort accommodation.
What happens if my flight into Lyon is delayed?
We monitor your flight before the pickup.
If your landing time moves, the fresh arrival details reach your driver, who shifts the meeting time to follow your plane.
The journey from Lyon Airport to La Plagne
Leaving Lyon-Saint Exupéry, the route heads east into Savoie and the French Alps, closing in on Chambéry before carrying on to Albertville, the main gateway to the Tarentaise valley.
Beyond Albertville, your driver stays on the N90, which runs up the length of the valley.
Unlike trips to Courchevel, Méribel or the Belleville resorts, the road does not turn off around Moûtiers.
It stays on the Tarentaise towards Aime, one of the principal road access points for La Plagne.
That gives the Lyon to La Plagne run a distinctive profile: a long valley section followed by a substantial mountain climb, which starts once the vehicle reaches the Aime area.
Belle Plagne, Plagne Bellecôte, Aime 2000, Plagne Villages, Plagne Centre and Plagne 1800 can each be the final stop, depending on where you booked.
Heavy snowfall or Saturday changeovers can make the last stretch noticeably slower, even if the motorway and valley sections ran freely.
Arriving in La Plagne
La Plagne covers a large mountain area and is made up of several separate resort villages.
Bookings in La Plagne can just as well lead to Montalbert, Montchavin or Les Coches as to Plagne Soleil, Plagne Villages, Aime 2000, Belle Plagne, Plagne Bellecôte, Plagne 1800 or Plagne Centre.
That is why “La Plagne” alone is too vague to fix the final drop-off. The high-altitude resorts are usually reached by leaving the valley around Aime and climbing to the mountain villages.
Montalbert, Montchavin and Les Coches have their own local approaches.
Your driver heads on to the exact point reachable by road for your hotel, chalet or residence; the transfer never stops in the valley when you are staying higher up.
Please give the full name of your accommodation and its exact sector when you book. In La Plagne this matters a great deal, since two properties in the same ski area can lie several kilometres apart by road and need different final approaches.

Frequently asked questions
How long does the transfer from Lyon Airport to La Plagne take?
The road distance is roughly 191 to 195 km, depending on your exact destination within La Plagne.
With ordinary traffic the drive usually lasts between 2 hours 10 and 2 hours 30.
Journey times can rise considerably on busy winter Saturdays, with heavy traffic in the Tarentaise valley, or when snow falls on the final climb.
Does the transfer finish at Aime-La-Plagne?
Only if Aime is your actual destination. Aime lies down in the Tarentaise valley and is an important access point for the mountain resorts above it.
For a stay in Plagne 1800, Plagne Centre, Belle Plagne, Plagne Bellecôte or any other village up the mountain, the car keeps climbing until it stops at your door.
Please enter your exact resort and property when booking.
Are Plagne Centre, Belle Plagne and Plagne Bellecôte different destinations?
Yes.
They are separate areas within the wider La Plagne ski resort.
Each sits in a different part of the mountain, so the last stretch of road is not quite the same for each of them.
Telling us the exact hotel, chalet or residence name lets your driver plan the right approach before reaching the resort.
Can I book a return transfer from La Plagne to Lyon Airport?
Yes.
You may reserve the journey back alongside your arrival, or independently at a later date.
Your pickup time is set by your departure village, your flight schedule and the traffic expected on the way to Lyon-Saint Exupéry.
From a high-altitude resort, allow for the descent back to the Tarentaise valley too, and leave extra margin on peak winter Saturdays and during heavy snowfall.
