Reaching the Three Valleys is simple on paper: Geneva, two and a half hours, the resort. In practice it turns on a detail of the calendar. Chalets let Saturday to Saturday, so the whole Tarentaise changes tenants on the same day, on the same roads.
On a high-season Saturday the climb from Moûtiers can double. We time the transfer to your flight and to the actual state of the traffic, with drivers who run this leg all season.
Where the timing or the weather makes it worthwhile, a helicopter removes the road entirely. Courchevel also has its own altiport, minutes from the chalet.

What we arrange

Chauffeured road transfer

Vehicles equipped for winter roads, drivers who know the leg, and timing set by your flight rather than by a schedule. Child seats, ski boxes and multiple vehicles for large parties.

Helicopter

From Geneva, Chambéry or the altiport to the valley pads. On a changeover Saturday, several hours saved. Always a supplement, and always quoted in advance.

Private aviation and rail

Jets at Chambéry, Grenoble, Annecy or Geneva, and the Courchevel altiport for qualified aircraft. Moûtiers is served by TGV from Paris and by the Eurostar ski train from London in season.

✦ Our Commitment ✦

Why it is worth arranging

It is the link that stays are quickest to leave until last, and the one that most often spoils the first day.

  • 01

    The Saturday

    The whole Tarentaise changes tenants on the same day. In February the climb from Moûtiers can double. That is either anticipated or endured.

  • 02

    The road, not the airport

    Geneva is close and well served. It is the last fifty kilometres, in hairpins and sometimes under snow, that separate a season driver from a city driver.

  • 03

    The luggage

    Fifteen people with skis, boots and cases do not fit into what people imagine. The sizing is done in advance, not in the car park.

  • 04

    One single quote

    The chalet rate covers the rental of the property. Transfers, like passes and staffing, are priced alongside it and set out in the same document before anything is committed.

✦ Expert Guide ✦

Four ways into the Three Valleys, and what each is actually worth.

01

Geneva

The usual gateway, around two and a half hours from Meribel and Courchevel. The best international air links, and a border crossing to plan for depending on where you fly from.

02

Chambéry and Lyon

Chambéry is closest at one hour forty-five but thinner on scheduled flights. Lyon, at two and a half hours, works better from southern Europe. Both take private aviation.

03

The Courchevel altiport

At 2,008 metres, above the resort. It takes helicopters and qualified light aircraft, and puts passengers minutes from the chalet. From Meribel, allow twenty minutes by road.

04

Rail

Moûtiers is the station for all three valleys, thirty minutes from Meribel and twenty-five from Courchevel. Direct TGV from Paris, and the Eurostar ski train from London in season. We handle the station-to-chalet leg.

✦ Planning ✦

The days to plan for

The busiest days

Christmas and February Saturdays

A full Tarentaise changeover. This is where a helicopter earns its cost, and where an improvised transfer costs half a day.

Normal traffic

Sundays and weekdays

Shifting the arrival by a day changes the climb completely. Where your dates allow it, that is the simplest and cheapest answer.

Unpredictable

Snowfall

Chains required, passes closed, delays compounding. Our drivers are equipped, and we adjust timings live rather than leaving you waiting.
