Courchevel is roughly 110 km from Chambery Airport, and the drive takes close to an hour and a half in good conditions. Montivo runs it as a private transfer, door to door, with nobody else in the vehicle and no stops for other passengers. You pay one price for the vehicle, fixed at the time of booking, whether there are two of you or eight.
The short way into the Three Valleys
Chambery is the closest airport to the Tarentaise. A Lyon transfer to Courchevel comes along the A43 past Chambery, and a Geneva transfer only joins the same road at Albertville after the long run past Annecy. From Chambery the motorway section is short, so most of your journey time is spent in the valley rather than getting to it.
The trade-off is the timetable. Chambery is mainly a winter weekend airport, with many flights from the UK and few during the week. If a flight suits your dates, it is the quickest approach to Courchevel by road.
Your driver at arrivals
The driver meets you inside the terminal and walks you out to the vehicle. The flight number you give at booking is what we track, so a delayed departure from the UK moves the pick-up with it. On a Saturday the terminal can be crowded with several flights arriving close together, and having someone there for your group alone makes that part easy.
Albertville, Moutiers, then the climb
After the A43 and A430 to Albertville, the N90 runs up the Tarentaise to Moutiers, the town at the junction of the valleys. Moutiers sits low on the valley floor and Courchevel 1850 is far above it, so the character of the drive changes completely there: the Courchevel road leaves the town and climbs hard, bend after bend, for the rest of the way. The drivers know the road in winter, including after a night of heavy snow.
Changeover Saturday
Everything bound for the Three Valleys converges on Moutiers, and on a Saturday that includes the traffic for Meribel, Val Thorens and Les Menuires as well as Courchevel. The approach to the town is the slow point, and the Courchevel road itself carries a steady stream of coaches and minibuses. Saturday journeys take longer, which is why they are priced at their own rate.

Price for your dateLe Praz to 1850
Courchevel is four villages at different heights: Le Praz is the lowest, then Courchevel Village and Courchevel Moriond, with 1850 at the top. La Tania, in the woods between Courchevel and Meribel, is reached from the same road. Each has its own streets and its own approach, so the booking needs the exact accommodation address, not just the resort name. The driver then takes you to the door, including the steep upper streets of 1850 that a coach cannot use.
Vehicle size, children and equipment
Standard is for up to eight passengers, VIP for up to seven in a higher-specification vehicle; bigger parties simply book, and pay for, more than one vehicle. Child seats are free if requested at booking with the children's ages. Ski and snowboard bags and anything oversized should be declared at booking as well, so a vehicle with enough space is sent.
Leaving Courchevel
For the flight home we calculate the pick-up backwards from the departure time, allowing for the descent to Moutiers, the valley traffic and a crowded check-in if you are flying on a Saturday. After fresh snow the driver may suggest leaving earlier than planned. The outbound and the return are each priced at the rate for their own day.
