Six summits, one road

You call or you write. We ask for the pick-up address, the resort, the time you want to arrive, the number of passengers and the amount of luggage. The price comes back to you and is agreed before departure. An urgent request is set up in under an hour, and the same contact follows the booking through to the arrival.

On the day, the chauffeur arrives early at the address you gave. He loads the cases, the skis and the bags, then takes the road. He knows the state of the surface and where the Saturday changeover traffic builds up. The departure time is adjusted accordingly, the evening before or the same morning. The climb is driven without an imposed stop. At the top, you are dropped at the chalet or the hotel where the streets allow it, otherwise as close as possible, and the chauffeur unloads the luggage before leaving.

A family of four with skis and cases fits in a V-Class, still the most requested vehicle on the climb. Two passengers who want quiet after a long flight take the S-Class. A group of twelve to fifteen, equipment included, travels in the Sprinter VIP: VIP seats, individual reading lights, a USB socket at every seat and a boot for twelve large suitcases. Allow one piece of luggage per person, and tell us if ski bags are added.

Late arrivals are common in winter, and they change nothing. On private journeys the rate is a single one, with no night, weekend or public holiday surcharge. Saturday changeover days, when the whole valley moves at once, are planned ahead: the departure is set earlier and the route chosen before leaving. We serve Courchevel, Méribel, Val Thorens, Val d’Isère, Tignes and Megève, and the other resorts of Savoie and Haute-Savoie on request.

Nine Mercedes, maintained and clean at every departure. Five seven-seat V-Class, one S-Class, one E-Class, one GLE 400 and a Sprinter VIP with fifteen seats plus a guide seat. On the climb the GLE takes its share when the weather hardens. On board: Wi-Fi, a bottle of water and a chauffeur in a suit, speaking French and English. Discretion goes without saying — what is said in the car stays there.

The rest comes down to knowing the road. Almost thirty years of winter seasons, and chauffeurs who know when to leave earlier rather than drive faster. One contact follows your booking, reachable around the clock, weekends included. You never explain the same thing twice. The price is given on request and fixed before departure.
