Return transfer: Val d'Isère to Lyon Airport

Book Val d'Isère → LyonTips 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.
- The road to Val d'Isère climbs high into the mountains. 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 d'Isère" can be far apart, and some are only reachable on foot or by a local shuttle.
