A car or minivan just for your party, from the arrivals hall to your accommodation in Adelboden. The price is per vehicle, so it gets cheaper per head as your group grows.

Get a quote

Shared shuttle or coach

Best for: Solo travellers and couples on a budget

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.

Train 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.

Hire car

Best for: Exploring several resorts during your stay

Driving 384 km into the mountains in winter means winter tyres, snow chains where required and paid parking in Adelboden. Worth it if you will use the car during the week.

Return transfer: Adelboden to Lyon Airport

Book the return at the same time. Work back from your flight: allow 4 h 45 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.

Choose the return direction on the booking page.

Tips 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.
  • 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 Adelboden" can be far apart, and some are only reachable on foot or by a local shuttle.
