Private transfer
Best for: Families, groups and anyone with ski bags

Book from €395Shared shuttle or coach

Seat-based shuttles run to many Alpine resorts on changeover days. You pay per seat, but you wait for a fixed departure and may be dropped at a central stop. Check that ski bags are included.
Private or shared? How to compare quotesTrain and bus
Best for: Light packers who like public transport
There is no direct airport-to-resort train on this route. A rail-and-bus connection may exist via the nearest valley station; check every change and the final bus with ski luggage.

Return transfer: Val Thorens to Chambéry Airport
Book the return at the same time. Work back from your flight: allow 1 h 40 min on the road, extra time if it has snowed, and at least two hours at the airport for bags and security. On Saturdays leave earlier still.
Book Val Thorens → ChambéryTips for this journey
- Give your flight number and the number of ski or snowboard bags when you book. Passenger seats and luggage space are not the same thing.
- Val Thorens is high (the ski area starts around 1,726 m). After fresh snow the last climb can be slow and chains may be required; allow extra time on the return to the airport.
- Saturday is changeover day in most Alpine resorts, so roads and airports are at their busiest. A midweek or Sunday arrival is usually quicker.
- Use your full accommodation address. Two chalets "in Val Thorens" can be far apart, and some are only reachable on foot or by a local shuttle.
