We continuously monitor weather conditions and road closures, proactively communicating any potential delays or route changes.

Unlike taxi meters or ride-sharing apps, our Alpine airport transfer prices are fixed and agreed upon at booking. The price includes all tolls, fuel, driver gratuity, meet-and-greet service, flight monitoring, and 60 minutes of waiting time. There are no hidden fees or surge pricing. What you see is what you pay.

Booking and Planning Tips

Book as soon as you have your flight details, especially during peak season. We can often accommodate last-minute bookings with as little as 24 hours' notice, subject to availability. Early booking also gives you peace of mind and locks in your fixed price. You can always modify your booking later if your flight times change.

Alpine Airport Transfer FAQ

Geneva (GVA) is the most popular choice, serving 25+ resorts with the shortest transfer times. For French Alps, Chambéry (CMF) is closest. Lyon (LYS) offers great value, Milan (MXP) is best for Italian Alps, and Zurich (ZUR) for premium Swiss resorts. Choose based on your destination and budget preferences.
Do you offer shared shuttle transfers from Chambéry (CMF) Airport?
No, we only offer private transfers. This means the vehicle is exclusively for you and your group, with no waiting for other passengers or multiple stops. Private transfers offer more flexibility, faster journey times, and the ability to make stops along the way if needed. You depart when you're ready, not on a fixed shuttle schedule.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
We monitor all flights in real-time using your flight number. If your flight is delayed, your driver will automatically adjust the pickup time at no extra charge. We include 60 minutes of complimentary waiting time from your actual landing time (not scheduled time). This gives you plenty of time to clear passport control, collect luggage, and meet your driver. For delays beyond 60 minutes, we'll stay in contact and reschedule as needed.
Can you transport skis, snowboards, and ski boots?
Yes, absolutely. All our vehicles are equipped to carry ski equipment at no additional charge. Our sedans can accommodate up to 3 passengers with skis/snowboards and standard luggage, while our vans handle up to 7 passengers with full ski gear. We provide roof boxes for larger groups when needed. Ski bags, snowboards, boots, helmets, and poles are all included in your fixed price.
Do I need to go through customs for transfers to French ski resorts?
No. Grenoble (GNB) Airport is located entirely within France, so there are no customs or border formalities required for transfers to French ski resorts. You simply collect your luggage and walk through the arrivals hall. All destinations are within France, making transfers seamless and straightforward.
Are child seats available?
Yes, we provide child seats free of charge. We offer infant carriers (0-12 months), forward-facing child seats (9 months-4 years), and booster seats (4-12 years). Simply specify your requirements when booking, including the number of children and their ages, and we'll have the appropriate seats installed before your pickup. All seats meet EU safety standards.

There are no hidden fees or surprise charges.
How do I find my driver at Chambéry (CMF) Airport?
24 hours before your transfer, we'll send you detailed meeting instructions including your driver's name, phone number, and vehicle details. Your driver will wait in the arrivals hall holding a sign with your name clearly displayed. The arrivals hall is well-signposted after you collect your luggage. If you can't locate your driver, simply call the number we provide and they'll guide you to the exact meeting point.
Can I make stops along the way to my resort?
Yes, you can request stops for groceries, lunch breaks, or other needs. Many clients stop at supermarkets like Carrefour or Lidl on the way to stock up before reaching their resort. Simply mention this when booking or discuss it with your driver. Brief stops (15-20 minutes) are usually included at no extra charge. Longer stops or significant detours may incur a small additional fee, which your driver will confirm before deviating from the route.
Do you operate transfers during night arrivals?
Yes, we operate 24/7 year-round, including late-night and early-morning arrivals. There are no surcharges for late-night or early-morning pickups. Whether your flight lands at 2 AM or 6 AM, your driver will be there waiting. Many ski flights arrive late in the evening, and we're experienced in handling these transfers smoothly and safely regardless of the hour.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express), bank transfers, and cash (EUR, CHF, GBP, USD). Payment can be made in advance online when booking, or directly to the driver at the end of your journey. We also provide VAT invoices for business travelers who need receipts for expense claims. For corporate accounts, we offer monthly invoicing.
How far in advance should I book?
We recommend booking as soon as you have your flight details, especially during peak season (Christmas, New Year, February half-term, Easter) when demand is highest. However, we can often accommodate last-minute bookings with as little as 24 hours' notice, subject to availability. Early booking also gives you peace of mind and locks in your fixed price. You can always modify your booking later if your flight times change.
