More and more travellers bring their dog or cat along for a stay in Courchevel, whether for a few days or the whole season. A private chauffeur familiar with these journeys makes it possible to organise transport under good conditions, with no last-minute surprises.
Planning transport from the moment of booking
Every booking involving a pet is prepared in advance: number and size of the animals, whether a travel carrier will be used, and journey duration, so that the right vehicle and set-up can be anticipated. This information, shared at the time of the request, allows our concierge to confirm feasibility before the day of the transfer.
Travel carrier or free movement in the vehicle
A small pet can generally travel on a lap or in a carrier placed on the floor, while a larger dog is more comfortably settled in the back of a spacious vehicle, with a protective seat cover available on request.
Which vehicle to choose with a pet
The Mercedes V-Class, with its modular space and large boot, is particularly well suited to journeys with a large dog or several pets, while an E-Class or S-Class remains suitable for a small pet travelling in a carrier or on its owner's lap.

For a transfer from Geneva, Chambéry or Lyon, journey duration and any stops are factored in for the animal's comfort, particularly on the longest connections. The chauffeur is informed in advance of a pet on board so that driving style and vehicle temperature can be adjusted accordingly.
What about a helicopter transfer?
Transporting pets by helicopter remains possible depending on the aircraft and total weight on board, but must always be confirmed in advance with our concierge and the operator, as cabin space is more limited than in a vehicle.
A whole stay in Courchevel with your pet
Beyond the arrival transfer, many owners like to keep the same vehicle and the same chauffeur for the whole stay, so the animal finds a familiar environment on every journey rather than a different vehicle with each booking.
Breaks and walks on long journeys
On the longest routes, especially from Lyon, a break can be planned along the way so the animal can stretch its legs, provided you mention it when booking so the chauffeur can build the stop into the schedule.
Vehicle cleanliness and shared comfort
A protective cover can be fitted on the back seat or in the boot depending on the vehicle chosen, to preserve the comfort of the other passengers while letting the animal travel freely rather than confined to a carrier for the whole journey.
Frequently asked questions
Can several pets travel in the same vehicle?
Yes, depending on their size and the vehicle chosen: a Mercedes V-Class or Range Rover Sport offers the space needed for several medium to large pets.
Should a pet be mentioned when booking?
Yes, it is recommended to specify this at the time of the request so that the vehicle and set-up can be adapted accordingly.
Do pets need to travel in a carrier?
This is not systematically required in our vehicles, but a carrier remains recommended for longer journeys or for pets that are nervous in cars.
Does transporting a pet involve an extra charge?
This depends on the vehicle and any cleaning that may be required after the journey; our concierge will confirm the details at the time of booking.
Can a pet travel by helicopter to Courchevel?
This is possible subject to operator approval, depending on the aircraft, total weight and the number of passengers already booked on the flight.
Travelling with a pet should never add extra stress to a trip: our Courchevel transport concierge arranges every detail of the journey, from the right vehicle to the set-up on board, for a serene arrival in Courchevel.
