Moûtiers Train Station Transfer

Moûtiers, the rail gateway to the Tarentaise

Moûtiers-Salins-Brides-les-Bains is the main TGV station for reaching Courchevel by train, with direct services from Paris Gare de Lyon in high season. The onward drive to Courchevel then takes around forty minutes, depending on your destination within the resort and winter traffic conditions.

A chauffeur in position ahead of time, aware of your train's exact schedule, means you head straight to your accommodation without looking for parking or shared transport outside the station, which is especially welcome with bulky ski luggage.

Tell us the number of suitcases, ski bags and any child seats when you book: the vehicle is chosen accordingly, so that everyone and all the equipment fit on board as soon as you step off the train.

Outside the station, your chauffeur waits for you on the forecourt with a name board and takes your luggage to the vehicle. The climb to Courchevel then follows a winding mountain road that our chauffeurs know perfectly, adapting their driving to the snow and the day's conditions.

Whether you are heading to Courchevel 1850, 1650, 1550 or Le Praz, you are dropped at the door of your accommodation, with no shuttle connection or wait at the taxi rank.

A route that peaks on high-season weekends

Weekly changeover Saturdays account for most of the crowds at Moûtiers station, with several TGVs arriving within a narrow window in the late morning and early afternoon.

A chauffeur used to this route anticipates these crowds and the resulting traffic on the Tarentaise road, especially at the start of the school holidays.

Whether you arrive at the Saturday peak or at a quieter time during the week, the service is the same: a uniformed chauffeur, a vehicle equipped for the mountains, and a price fixed before you even set off.

On these busy days, booking your transfer in advance guarantees a vehicle at the exact time of your train, while the station's taxis and shuttles are often snapped up as soon as the first TGVs arrive.

If your train is delayed, your chauffeur adjusts the meeting time at no extra charge, following the actual arrival time and waiting for you outside the station, so your stay begins stress-free despite the crowds.

The return journey is booked the same way: your chauffeur collects you from your accommodation with plenty of time to catch your train, however busy the valley road is.

A second vehicle can be put in place in advance if your group arrives on several trains close together, so nobody waits on the platform.

Albertville station, an alternative away from the peak crowds

Some trains still stop at Albertville in quieter periods, when Moûtiers takes most of the peak departure traffic. The drive to Courchevel is a little longer from there, but the station is far less crowded on changeover days.

This option particularly suits a weekday departure or arrival, or when the train times available via Albertville fit your plans better than a connection via Moûtiers.

Whichever platform you arrive on, the same mountain-equipped vehicle and the same price fixed in advance apply, with no surcharge for your choice of station.

Located at the crossroads of the Tarentaise, the Beaufortain and the Val d'Arly, Albertville is a convenient stop for travellers combining a stay in Courchevel with visits to other Savoie resorts on the same trip.

Your chauffeur meets you outside the station and takes your ski luggage to the vehicle, then drives up to Courchevel through the Tarentaise valley, dropping you at the door of your chalet or hotel.

The town itself is worth a visit, with its medieval quarter of Conflans perched above the station.

Chambéry station, for the widest choice of connections

A bigger rail hub than Moûtiers, Chambéry offers a wider choice of connections from Paris and other major French cities, useful when the direct service to Moûtiers does not suit your timing.

The drive to Courchevel is longer than from Moûtiers, via the Tarentaise road or the motorway depending on conditions, but it remains a reliable option all year round, including outside the ski season.

This station pairs naturally with a flight into Chambéry Airport: a single chauffeur can coordinate a group arriving partly by train and partly by plane on the same day.

Chambéry station is served all year round by TGVs and regional trains, making it a reliable arrival point for a winter ski trip as well as a summer stay in the Three Valleys.

Your chauffeur waits for you outside the station with a name board and adjusts to the actual arrival time of your train. The journey to Courchevel is made in a comfortable vehicle equipped for the mountains, with drop-off at the door of your accommodation.

The capital of the Savoie, with the castle of the Dukes of Savoy and its old town, also makes a pleasant stop before continuing to the mountains.
