Private chauffeur from Lyon to Courchevel, 198 km and 2 h 35 by road

Courchevel 1850 sits 198 km and 2 h 35 from central Lyon by road, slightly less from the airport. A transfer from Lyon to Courchevel is planned like a flight: an arrival time, an exact address in the resort, a vehicle sized for skis and suitcases. Moving Prestige has been driving this road for almost thirty years, in winter and in summer. You give us the time; we allow for the climb from Moûtiers, Saturday traffic and the state of the road.

Arriving in Courchevel from Lyon: road, airport and railway

From central Lyon the drive is 198 km and 2 h 35: motorway to Albertville, then the Tarentaise valley and the climb to Courchevel. From Lyon-Saint-Exupéry airport, allow 185 km and 2 h 15, without crossing the city. We track your flight: the pick-up moves with the actual landing, and your chauffeur meets you as you leave the baggage hall.

If you come by train, the access station is Moûtiers-Salins-Brides-les-Bains. From there it is 23 km and 35 min of road up to Courchevel 1850, at 1,850 m. The chauffeur waits on the platform or outside the station, whichever suits you. Waiting is included: thirty minutes at a station or a hotel, one hour at an airport, counted from the scheduled landing time.

A moment to yourself.

Skis, luggage and the exact address in Courchevel

A stay in the resort begins with the boot. One piece of luggage per person, and skis travel with the rest; a V-Class carries seven passengers in comfort, and the Sprinter VIP takes fifteen with a seat for the guide. For families, we ask the children’s ages beforehand so the right seats are fitted. For a group, several vehicles leave together from the same address and arrive together.

We drop you at the chalet or the hotel door, at the exact address, not at the car park on the way in. Give us the name of the residence and the level of the resort: between Courchevel 1850 and the lower levels, the approach is not the same. Night arrivals and Saturday changeover days are the norm rather than the exception; on those days we set off earlier.

The season, summer in the resort and the way back to Lyon

In winter, the climb from Moûtiers depends on the snow and on Saturday traffic. Our chauffeurs know the road, and the vehicles are equipped for the season. When conditions turn, we bring the departure forward rather than try to make up time at the end; the arrival you planned is the one we aim for.

In summer Courchevel lives differently: the passes, the cyclists, the trails and the seminars. Journeys run at the same rate, with no night, weekend or public holiday surcharge. For the way back, we leave the resort with your flight or train time in hand, keeping the margin the road asks for that day. The price is agreed before departure and given on request.

The details

What people ask us

How long does it take to drive from Lyon to Courchevel?

Allow 2 h 35 for the 198 km from central Lyon, and 2 h 15 for the 185 km from Lyon-Saint-Exupéry airport. These times were measured by road. In winter, Saturday changeover traffic and the condition of the road can add to them, so we set off earlier.

Will the chauffeur wait if my flight is delayed?

Yes. We track your flight and move the pick-up to the actual landing. Waiting is included for up to one hour at the airport, counted from the scheduled landing time, and up to thirty minutes at a railway station or a hotel. There is nothing for you to do.

How many people can you take to Courchevel?

Up to seven passengers in a V-Class, three in an E-Class or a GLE 400, two in an S-Class, and fifteen seats in the Sprinter VIP with one seat for the guide. Allow one piece of luggage each, skis included. For a larger group, several vehicles leave together from the same address.

Can we start from Moûtiers railway station?

Yes. Moûtiers-Salins-Brides-les-Bains is the access station for Courchevel: 23 km and 35 min of road remain up to the resort. The chauffeur meets your train, with thirty minutes of waiting included. The return leg, from the resort down to Moûtiers, is booked the same way.
