Lyon Ski Transfers to the Alpine Resorts
Private chauffeur from Lyon, the airport or the train station — straight to the slopes, skis and luggage on board.
Planning a ski holiday and looking for a Lyon ski transfer to the resorts? Teleportalyon provides a private door-to-door transfer from Lyon, Lyon-Saint-Exupéry airport or the train station, all the way to your resort. Our chauffeur service is designed for skiers, families and groups who want to reach the slopes with complete peace of mind — no connections, no fixed timetables. From the 3 Valleys to the Tarentaise, from the Mont-Blanc range to the Isère resorts, we cover every major ski area in the Northern and Southern Alps.
A direct transfer to the slopes
Reaching the Alps from Lyon by public transport often means several steps: a train to Bourg-Saint-Maurice or Moûtiers, then a connecting shuttle, with fixed schedules and luggage and ski equipment to move at every change. Our private transfer removes these constraints. Indeed, we pick you up at the address of your choice, at the airport or the station, and drive you directly to your accommodation in the resort.
Moreover, our drivers know the mountain roads and their winter conditions: winding climbs, snow chains, icy sections and busy changeover days. You therefore travel in complete safety, without driving, and arrive rested for your first day on the slopes.
A transfer service designed for skiers
We tailor our service to the specific needs of a ski holiday: the group, the equipment and peace of mind.
Ski van & equipment
Skis, snowboards and luggage travel with you, at no extra charge. Up to 6 passengers in a single vehicle.
Expert mountain drivers
Drivers equipped and experienced in winter conditions: snow chains, ice, high-altitude routes.
Fixed, all-inclusive price
Price confirmed at booking, tolls and luggage included, no night surcharge. No surprises on arrival.
A welcome designed for travellers coming from afar
Many skiers arrive in Lyon by plane or train before heading to their resort. For them, a well-coordinated transfer is essential. That is why we track your flight or train in real time: in the event of a delay, your driver adjusts accordingly and waits for you, with one hour of free waiting time at Lyon-Saint-Exupéry airport.
On arrival, your private ski-resort driver greets you with a name sign, helps load your luggage and ski equipment, then sets off for the resort. You have no connection to manage and no schedule to watch: your ski holiday begins the moment you step out of the terminal.

A vehicle suited to your group and your equipment
Our vans carry up to 6 passengers with the space needed to travel comfortably, even when fully loaded. Ski equipment capacity depends on the number of passengers and the volume of luggage: let us know your gear when booking (skis, snowboards, bulky luggage) and we’ll confirm the best-suited vehicle, with no equipment surcharge.
For families, we provide child and booster seats on request, adapted to each child’s age and size, at no extra charge. Simply let us know when booking. This way, everyone travels together, safely and comfortably, from Lyon all the way to the foot of the slopes.

Indicative driving times in normal conditions. During heavy snowfall or on changeover Saturdays, journeys may take longer: our drivers adjust the route and departure time accordingly.
School holidays and peak periods: book your transfer ahead
During school holidays and changeover weekends, the roads to the resorts are extremely busy in both directions. Demand for transfers is then very high and slots fill up quickly. We therefore recommend booking as early as possible, to secure your chauffeur for both your arrival and your departure.
On the way back, the departure from the resort is often scheduled well in advance: heavy traffic and mountain conditions can significantly lengthen travel times during peak periods. We anticipate this for you — our drivers adjust the pick-up time so you reach the airport or station with complete peace of mind, with no risk of missing your flight or train. You have nothing to manage: we take care of the entire logistics of the trip.
