Every way to get to Vanoise

Private transfer

quote for your date

Door to door from the arrivals hall, priced per vehicle: the better deal for three or more people with ski bags. Partners here: Suntransfers.

Hire car

Winter tyres (3PMSF) or chains/socks required in mountain areas, 1 Nov – 31 Mar. Worth it if you will use the car during the week; parking in resort costs extra.

Arriving for your Vanoise ski week

  • Meet and greet: private drivers wait in arrivals with a name sign; add your flight number so a delay moves the pickup.
  • Ski bags: declare them when you book; the vehicle is sized by luggage as well as passengers.
  • Saturday changeover: roads into the Alps are busiest on Saturdays; allow extra time in both directions.
  • Return trip: book it with the outbound; pickup time = drive time + snow margin + the airline's check-in deadline.

Skiing in Vanoise

Espace Haute Maurienne Vanoise: 1,306–2,948 m, 208 km of mapped pistes and 78 lifts (OpenSkiMap).
