Private chauffeur from Lyon to Megève, all the way to your door

From central Lyon, allow 212 km and two hours twenty-five: motorway, then the Arve valley and the climb up to Megève. From Lyon-Saint-Exupéry airport the distance drops to 170 km and the drive to two hours ten. Pick-up is at the terminal, timed on your actual landing, with one hour of waiting included counted from the scheduled landing time.

By train, the access station is Sallanches-Combloux-Megève. From there, 13 km and twenty minutes of road remain to the resort. The chauffeur waits on the platform or outside the station, thirty minutes included, and takes the luggage. That last stretch is what decides the arrival: we know it in winter as well as in summer, and we leave Lyon at the time it requires rather than the time that suits a schedule.

One piece of luggage per person, plus the skis. The V-Class carries seven passengers, the Sprinter VIP fifteen seats and one guide seat. For a family with children, the seats are fitted before departure — just tell us the ages. For a group, several vehicles leave together from the same address and reach Megève together.

We drive to the exact address: a chalet on the Mont d’Arbois side, a hotel in the village, a residence along the Jaillet road. Night arrivals change nothing, your contact stays reachable around the clock. On changeover Saturdays the Arve valley fills up by late morning, so we bring the departure from Lyon forward. The rate stays the same, with no weekend surcharge on private journeys.

Winter sets the conditions: snow on the last kilometres, proper equipment, and a margin on the schedule rather than a gamble. The vehicles are equipped for the mountain, and the chauffeur checks the state of the road before setting off. In summer Megève lives differently — the passes, the golf course, the village terraces — and the drive is easier, but the principle does not change.

On the way back we leave the resort at the time your flight requires, not the time that feels reasonable from the chalet. Allow two hours ten to Lyon-Saint-Exupéry, two hours twenty-five to central Lyon or Part-Dieu station, and a margin on top if the valley is busy. We agree the pick-up time together, and the chauffeur is at the door before it.
