Where will I meet my driver at Lyon Airport?
Once you have your bags at Lyon-Saint Exupéry, make your way to the meeting spot given in your booking confirmation message.
Your driver keeps an eye on your flight: the pickup is organised around the time you really land, not the scheduled one.
Once everyone is on board, you leave directly for Les Menuires in a vehicle reserved exclusively for your group.
There is no need to coordinate train connections, wait for a shared coach or change transport on the way to the resort.
This is particularly convenient when travelling with children, several suitcases or winter sports equipment.
What happens if my flight into Lyon is delayed?
Your flight status is checked before pickup.
If the scheduled landing time changes, your driver uses the updated information to adjust the airport meeting time.
The journey from Lyon Airport to Les Menuires
From Lyon-Saint Exupéry, the transfer heads towards Savoie and gradually joins the main Alpine road network.
The route continues past the Chambéry area and towards Albertville, where the journey enters the Tarentaise valley.
Beyond Albertville, the N90 takes your driver on towards Moûtiers.
This part of the journey is mostly on major roads, making the first section very different from the final mountain approach.
Moûtiers is where the route turns off the main Tarentaise road and starts up into the Belleville valley.
From Moûtiers, Les Menuires is about 27 km further on. The road goes through the Saint-Martin-de-Belleville area first, then climbs a little higher to the resort.
Unlike the Lyon Airport to Val Thorens route, the journey ends in Les Menuires and does not continue through the final high-altitude section towards Val Thorens.
This shorter mountain finish gives the route its own profile and lets your driver head straight to your accommodation once in the resort.
In winter, traffic between Albertville and Moûtiers can have a significant impact on journey times, especially on Saturday changeover days.
Arriving in Les Menuires
Standing at about 1,850 metres above sea level, the resort of Les Menuires occupies the Belleville valley between Saint-Martin-de-Belleville and Val Thorens.
The resort is spread across several neighbourhoods and different levels, so the correct arrival route depends on the location of your accommodation.
In Reberty, for instance, the approach differs from the one used for lodgings around La Croisette, Les Bruyères or Preyerand.
Your driver brings you to the access point that matches the address you gave at the time of booking.
To make your arrival easy, please enter the complete name and exact address of your hotel, chalet or residence when booking.
This is especially useful during snowfall or busy arrival periods, when local traffic conditions may affect the most practical access route.

This is particularly useful when travelling with children, multiple suitcases, skis or snowboards.

The return trip can be added to the same booking as your outbound journey, or booked separately a little later.

Additional time is recommended on peak winter Saturdays and during periods of snowfall.
