The transfer from Chambery Airport to La Rosiere covers roughly 135 km and takes just under two hours in good conditions. La Rosiere is the south-facing resort above Bourg-Saint-Maurice, on the road to the Petit-Saint-Bernard pass. Montivo drives it privately, from the terminal to the door of your accommodation, at a price fixed per vehicle rather than per passenger.
Towards the pass, and no further
La Rosiere sits at about 1,850 metres on the old road over the Petit-Saint-Bernard into Italy. In winter the pass beyond the resort is closed, so the road you arrive on is a dead end until the pass reopens, and the Italian connection is made on skis: the ski area is linked with La Thuile in the Espace San Bernardo. The transfer itself stays in France from start to finish. Because the slopes face south, the resort gets the sun for much of the day, which is a large part of its appeal.
From Lac du Bourget to Seez
The route is motorway past Chambery to Albertville on the A43 and A430, then the N90 up the Tarentaise past Moutiers and Aime to Bourg-Saint-Maurice. Just beyond the town, at Seez, the road to Tignes and Val d'Isere and the road to La Rosiere part company, and yours begins its climb up the south-facing slope in a long run of hairpins. The drivers know the road in winter, and the climb from Seez is where snow makes the difference.
Saturday below Bourg-Saint-Maurice
On changeover day the valley road carries every Tarentaise resort's guests, and around Bourg-Saint-Maurice the traffic for Les Arcs, Tignes, Val d'Isere, Sainte-Foy and La Rosiere all converges. The good news for La Rosiere is that once the Tignes and Val d'Isere traffic turns off at Seez, your road serves little else in winter and is far quieter. The Saturday rate reflects the longer journey up to that point.
Meeting you at Chambery
Chambery's season is built around weekend flights, many of them from the UK, and the terminal is small enough to fill up on a Saturday. We monitor your flight, and the driver is inside the terminal when it actually lands and walks your group to the vehicle. It is the flight number on your booking that the driver follows.

Price for your dateAround the resort
La Rosiere is spread along and above the road rather than gathered in one compact centre, with chalets and residences on side roads that can be steep and narrow when the snow is deep. Give the full address of your accommodation at booking. It lets the driver plan the final approach before arrival instead of searching for it in the dark.
Vehicle and group size
Standard seats up to eight passengers, VIP up to seven in a higher-specification vehicle, with more space for each passenger on the climb from Seez. Groups that need a second vehicle are priced for two.
Skis, luggage and young children
Tell us at booking about skis, snowboards and any oversized bags, so a vehicle with enough room is sent. Child seats are provided free of charge when requested at the same time with the ages of the children.
Back down for your flight
The pick-up time for the flight home is calculated back from your departure: the hairpins down to Seez, the Saturday queue through Bourg-Saint-Maurice, the valley and the motorway, and a check-in that is busy on changeover day. Flying home on a weekday avoids the worst of the queue through Bourg-Saint-Maurice. On a return, the two legs are priced separately, each at the rate for its own day.
