The distance between Lyon Airport and Courchevel is about 186 km, with a travel time of 2 h 20 to 2 h 40 depending on weather and traffic. The route follows the A43 highway through Chambéry and Albertville, then continues along the N90 to Moutiers before climbing to Courchevel 1850. During winter, snow and ice are common on the higher sections of the road. Therefore, all vehicles should be equipped with winter tires and snow chains between November and April.
For most travelers, the most reliable and comfortable option is booking a private chauffeur transfer.
Professional drivers handle the entire route safely while passengers relax after their flight.
Luxury vehicles such as Mercedes V-Class or S-Class provide space for ski bags, luggage, and families.
In addition, licensed chauffeurs monitor flight arrivals in real time and adapt to any delay.
The best providers, like RivieraGo Chauffeur Services, include amenities such as Wi-Fi, bottled water, and 24/7 assistance — making the experience both smooth and exclusive.

Renting a car offers independence but requires experience with Alpine driving.
The roads between Albertville and Courchevel are often covered with snow, and chains are mandatory during heavy weather.
While car rentals are available directly at Lyon Airport, they often cost more once you add insurance, fuel, and tolls.
Moreover, driving after a long flight can be tiring. For this reason, private drivers remain a better choice for travelers who value comfort and safety.
Another option is to take a train to Moutiers-Salins-Brides-les-Bains, located about 30 km from Courchevel.
From there, taxis or shuttles continue the journey to the resort.
However, train schedules are limited, and waiting times can be long during winter weekends.
As a result, shared shuttles are generally slower and less flexible, though they can be a budget-friendly alternative for solo travelers.
Winter in the Tarentaise Valley can be unpredictable.
To avoid delays, try to schedule your arrival before 16:00, as snowstorms or weekend traffic may extend travel time significantly.
Always wear warm clothes and keep essentials — phone charger, water, and snacks — handy for the road.
Furthermore, booking a service that monitors road and flight updates ensures you won’t need to worry about last-minute weather changes.
Peak travel periods include Christmas, New Year, and February school holidays.
Booking early guarantees availability, especially for premium vehicles and experienced chauffeurs.
Ideally, book your transfer at least two weeks before arrival.
Meanwhile, if you’re traveling mid-week, the roads are quieter, and the journey tends to be faster and more scenic.
Between car rentals, trains, and private chauffeurs, the private transfer clearly stands out as the most reliable way to reach Courchevel from Lyon Airport.
It combines comfort, safety, and time efficiency, especially during harsh winter conditions.
