About Montivo Transfers

Montivo Transfers is a private transfer company working the French Alps: Geneva, Lyon, Chambery and Grenoble airports to the ski resorts of the Tarentaise, the Three Valleys, the Espace Killy, Paradiski, the Chamonix valley and the Portes du Soleil.

What we actually do

One vehicle, your group only, from the arrivals hall to the door of your accommodation. No shared rides, no waiting for other passengers to land, no coach that drops you at a car park twenty minutes from your chalet.

We quote a fixed price per vehicle at the moment you book, including VAT. It does not move because your flight was late or because the road was slow: the number you agree is the number you pay, and nothing is added at the checkout. Declare skis, boards and oversized items when you book, so the vehicle that comes is the right size for them.

Where we drive

We serve more than 200 routes. The main pick-up points are Geneva Airport, Lyon Saint-Exupery, Chambery Savoie, Grenoble Alpes Isere and Geneva train station. From there we reach the resorts most people are going to - Courchevel, Meribel, Val Thorens, Les Menuires, Val d'Isere, Tignes, Les Arcs, La Plagne, Chamonix, Megeve, Morzine, Avoriaz - as well as Aosta and Courmayeur across the Italian border.

If your route is not in the booking form, it usually still exists. Send a custom request and we will price it.

The vehicles

Two classes, and each one is a specific vehicle rather than a category.

  • Standard is the Renault Trafic extra-long, an eight-seat minibus. The extra length is the point: eight people and seven ski bags fit in it without anyone holding luggage on their knees. It is what most families and groups travel in.
  • VIP is the Mercedes-Benz V-Class for up to seven passengers, or the Mercedes-Benz S-Class for a smaller group - up to three people, with luggage to match. More room per person, a quieter car, and on a three-hour climb to altitude that is a practical difference rather than a decorative one.

Larger groups travel in as many vehicles as they need, together.

Why a local driver matters in winter

The last hour of an Alpine transfer is not motorway. It is a climb: hairpins, altitude, and for much of the season snow on the road. The drive from Moutiers up to Courchevel gains more than a thousand metres. Val Thorens sits above 2,300 metres and can be in a different weather system from the valley floor an hour earlier.

Drivers who work these roads every week through the season read the conditions instead of being surprised by them. That is the whole argument for a private transfer over a hire car on a February Saturday.

What is included as standard

  • Flight monitoring, so a delayed landing moves the pickup instead of losing it
  • Meet and greet inside the terminal
  • Door-to-door service to the address you give us, not the resort centre
  • Child seats at no extra charge, when requested at the time of booking
  • All tolls and fuel

Skis, snowboards and oversized luggage should be declared when you book, so the vehicle that arrives has room for the equipment as well as the passengers.

Drivers and partners

Alongside our own vehicles we work with a network of vetted local partner drivers, which is how we cover peak Saturdays across several valleys at once. Professional drivers with their own vehicles and a valid transport licence can apply to join the network.

Talk to a person

Booking online takes a couple of minutes and gives you a fixed price. If your trip has something unusual in it - a very large group, an odd hour, several vehicles, an address the map does not know - phone or email and a person will sort it out.

Common questions

Are your prices per person, and do they include VAT?

Per vehicle, and yes, VAT is included. One price covers the whole group up to the capacity of the vehicle, larger groups are priced as the number of vehicles needed, and nothing is added at the checkout.

Which vehicles do you actually drive?

Standard is a Renault Trafic extra-long, an eight-seat minibus. VIP is a Mercedes-Benz V-Class for up to seven, or a Mercedes-Benz S-Class for a smaller group.

What happens if my flight is delayed?

We monitor the flight and the pickup moves to the actual landing time. Give us the flight number when booking.

Do you operate in summer?

Yes, all year. Chamonix, Annecy, Megeve and the lakes are as busy in summer as the ski resorts are in winter.

Can you take large groups?

Yes. The booking form prices the number of vehicles needed and they travel together.

Do you carry skis and snowboards?

Yes, declared at booking so the right size of vehicle is sent.
