Where will I meet my driver at Lyon Airport?
Once you are through arrivals at Lyon-Saint Exupéry with your luggage, walk to the pickup spot described in your booking confirmation.
Your flight is tracked live before landing, which lets the driver time the meeting to your real arrival.
When your party, bags and ski gear are loaded, you leave the airport straight for Val d’Isère in a vehicle reserved for your group alone. There is no change of vehicle in Chambéry, Albertville or Bourg-Saint-Maurice.
For families and groups with several suitcases, skis or snowboards, that means one continuous journey from the terminal to your accommodation in the resort.
What happens if my flight into Lyon is delayed?
Your actual arrival time is monitored before pickup.
Should your flight land ahead of or behind schedule, your driver is given the latest arrival time and moves the meeting to suit your exit from Lyon-Saint Exupéry.
The journey from Lyon Airport to Val d’Isère
Leaving Lyon-Saint Exupéry, the road leads east into the Alps and soon reaches Savoie.
The next stages are Chambéry and Albertville, from where the road climbs into the Tarentaise.
From Albertville your driver takes the N90 towards Bourg-Saint-Maurice, passing through the Moûtiers, Aime and Landry areas on the way up the valley.
Val d’Isère is one of the furthest major ski resorts along this road, so the drive carries on well beyond the turn-offs for Courchevel, Méribel and La Plagne.
Bourg-Saint-Maurice is the last major valley town before the final mountain section, and from there your driver follows the road through the upper valley towards Val d’Isère.
Coming up from Bourg-Saint-Maurice, the first part of the resort you reach is La Daille. Depending on your address, the drive then goes on through the village and, if needed, up to Le Fornet.
This last stretch gives the Lyon to Val d’Isère route its character: after a long motorway and valley drive, the final part is on high-altitude mountain roads, the section most exposed to snowfall and difficult conditions in winter.
Arriving in Val d’Isère
Val d’Isère is strung out along the valley floor rather than gathered around a single square, so the right drop-off depends on where you are staying.
Your accommodation could be in La Daille at the entrance to the resort, in the central village, or at Le Fornet, further along the valley.
La Daille is the first sector you meet coming up from Bourg-Saint-Maurice, with the village centre a few kilometres beyond it and Le Fornet beyond that.
The nearest drop-off point on the road to your hotel, residence or chalet is where the driver will take you.
When you reserve, enter the full name of the property and its exact address.
A booking that simply says “Val d’Isère” can easily be read as a drop-off in La Daille, even though several kilometres may separate it from the village centre or Le Fornet.

Frequently asked questions
How long does the transfer from Lyon Airport to Val d’Isère take?
Val d’Isère lies roughly 240 km from Lyon by road.
When the roads are clear, the drive takes roughly three hours, or up to three hours twenty minutes.
Expect longer on peak winter Saturdays, when the Tarentaise valley fills up, or when snow slows the last high-altitude stretch beyond Bourg-Saint-Maurice.
Is Lyon Airport a good option for travelling to Val d’Isère?
Yes.
Lyon-Saint Exupéry offers a wide choice of domestic and international flights and a direct road route into Savoie and the Tarentaise valley.
Although the transfer is longer than from Chambéry, it remains a practical option for travellers wanting a private door-to-door journey to Val d’Isère.
Do I need to stop in Bourg-Saint-Maurice?
No.
Bourg-Saint-Maurice is the last major valley town before Val d’Isère, but your private transfer carries straight on to the resort.
Your driver carries on to La Daille, the village centre or Le Fornet, whichever matches your accommodation.
There is no need to change to a local bus or shuttle.
Can I book a return transfer from Val d’Isère to Lyon Airport?
Yes.
You may book the return leg when you reserve the outward journey, or separately later.
The pickup time you should plan for depends on where you stay in Val d’Isère, when your flight leaves and what the roads look like. Leaving from Le Fornet takes slightly longer than from La Daille, because the descent towards Bourg-Saint-Maurice begins further up the valley.
Build in a longer buffer on crowded winter Saturdays or if a snowfall is expected.
