Several transport options connect Grenoble Airport to Megève, but private transfers offer clear advantages. Shared shuttles operate regularly, costing €60-80 per person, but follow fixed schedules with stops at multiple French Alpine resorts. Journey time extends to 3-4 hours, and you're tied to departure times that may not align with flights. Shared transfers often require waiting at the airport for other passengers.
Public transport requires multiple connections: train from Grenoble-Saint Exupéry to Chambéry, then bus connections to reach Megève. Total journey time approaches 4-5 hours with potential missed connections. With ski equipment, families, or substantial luggage, this becomes impractical. The limited public transport links mean transfers and waiting times add considerable stress to what should be a relaxing start to your holiday.
Car rental for a week costs €400-500, plus fuel (€80-100 for the journey), tolls (€20-30), and parking. Megève offers limited paid parking, with most accommodation lacking dedicated spaces. Total weekly cost reaches €500-630. After a long flight, driving 2 hours through unfamiliar mountain roads adds stress. Winter driving on mountain passes requires experience with snow and ice conditions.
Megève's layout means a vehicle offers minimal benefit during your stay. The resort is walkable with the free shuttle connecting ski areas efficiently. Most visitors explore on skis or use the shuttle. A private transfer delivers you relaxed and ready to enjoy Megève's legendary skiing, with our drivers' local knowledge ensuring direct routing to your specific accommodation.
Book your transfer as soon as you have confirmed flights and accommodation. Megève is one of France's most popular resorts with consistently high demand throughout winter. The resort's legendary skiing reputation and world-class extreme terrain mean accommodation fills quickly, particularly during peak weeks. Saturday transfers are particularly busy. Book 6-8 weeks in advance for peak periods (Christmas, New Year, February) to secure availability and favorable pricing.
When booking, provide your flight number (for automatic tracking), exact accommodation address including chalet name or street name and number, and any special requirements. Megève has many similar buildings and street names, so precise addresses ensure your driver navigates directly to the correct location without searching.
For families, request child seats when booking, specifying each child's age and weight. We provide seats meeting EU safety standards at no extra charge. Megève attracts families and serious skiers with its varied terrain and legendary reputation, and we're experienced with multiple child seats plus ski equipment. Groups of 5-7 should book vans for comfortable transfers with adequate luggage space for a 2-hour journey.
Return transfers follow the same process. We typically recommend pickup 3.5-4 hours before your Grenoble flight departure. This accounts for the 2-hour transfer plus 90 minutes for check-in and security at Grenoble-Saint Exupéry. During peak Saturdays with potential Rhône Valley traffic, allow 4 hours to ensure comfortable arrival. We'll confirm exact pickup time and location 24 hours before your departure date.
After landing at Grenoble-Saint Exupéry Airport (GNB), collect your luggage and proceed to the arrivals hall. Your driver will be waiting with a sign displaying your name, easily identifiable among other Alpine transfer services operating across the French Alps.
The driver will help load your luggage and ski equipment. Our vehicles accommodate winter sports gear with dedicated storage compartments or roof boxes. Megève visitors often bring extensive equipment given the resort's varied terrain and family-friendly facilities, so our vehicles are configured accordingly. Everything is secured for the mountain drive through the French Alps.
The journey begins by heading north on the A48 toward Chambéry through the French Alps, with increasingly dramatic Alpine scenery emerging as elevation increases. The route follows the A41 autoroute toward Annecy and Cluses, passing through the Rhône Valley with views of the surrounding mountain peaks.
After passing through Chambéry, the route continues on the A41 toward Annecy and Cluses. You'll continue toward Sallanches and then head into the Mont Blanc valley along the N205.

The resort's traditional Alpine character means most buildings are easily accessible. Our drivers know Megève intimately and handle all drop-off points efficiently.
Megève operates on Saturday-to-Saturday rental schedules, creating intense traffic every Saturday during the season. The Rhône Valley and Haute-Savoie region serves multiple major French Alpine resorts, creating exceptional Saturday congestion along autoroutes through the French Alps. Thousands of vehicles converge simultaneously during changeovers.
If your travel dates include a Saturday, book the earliest possible flight to Grenoble. Morning arrivals (landing before 10 AM) beat the worst afternoon Rhône Valley traffic. Alternatively, very late flights (arriving after 8 PM) also avoid congestion, though you'll drive to Megève in darkness. The final approach is more impressive in daylight with stunning mountain views.
Our drivers know timing strategies and alternative routes to minimize delays. During extreme congestion, they may take slightly longer autoroute routes to avoid bottlenecks. Trust your driver's local knowledge and real-time traffic information. Even with Saturday delays, transfers rarely exceed 2.5 hours total from Grenoble Airport.
Peak weeks (Christmas, New Year, February half-term) see maximum French Alps capacity and transfer demand. Prices increase significantly during these periods, and availability becomes severely limited. Book 6-8 weeks minimum in advance for peak Saturdays. Consider arriving Thursday or Friday, departing Sunday or Monday if possible to avoid Saturday premiums and Rhône Valley congestion.
The Grenoble-Megève route is well-maintained throughout winter. Autoroutes through France are priority routes cleared within hours of snowfall. The final approach through the Megève valley can require additional care during winter weather, particularly on mountain roads.
All our vehicles carry winter tires (mandatory in France during winter months) and snow chains. French regulations require chains when signs indicate, and our drivers are experienced in Alpine winter driving. The mountain approach toward Megève can be demanding during poor weather, with potential for snow on valley roads. Chain fitting adds 10-15 minutes to journey time if required.
Megève's position in the French Alps means conditions can change rapidly. Road closures are rare but can occur during severe weather or avalanche risk on mountain passes. The resort is well-serviced and cleared quickly, typically reopening within 2-3 hours. Your driver monitors conditions in real-time via French traffic systems and will adjust timing if necessary.
Megève provides direct access to the entire Portes du Soleil ski area with 650 kilometers of linked pistes spanning France and Switzerland.

The lift network connects efficiently across the Portes du Soleil, allowing visitors to ski between Megève, Morzine, Avoriaz, and other linked resorts within the same day. The terrain variety is exceptional, with different sectors offering different difficulty levels and atmosphere. Families particularly appreciate the extensive beginner areas and varied intermediate terrain around Megève and Morzine.
