Looking for a transfer from Lyon Airport to La Plagne? Sun Road drives you privately from the arrivals hall at Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport (LYS) to the door of your accommodation in La Plagne — no shared shuttle, no stops for other passengers and no waiting for a group to fill up. Your driver is waiting for you with a name sign, helps with the luggage and skis, and takes you straight there.

La Plagne is one of the largest ski resorts in France, with around ten villages between about 1,250 m and 2,100 m — from Plagne Centre and Belle Plagne to Plagne 1800, Montchavin and Champagny.

The price is fixed per vehicle, not per person, and you see it before you pay. It includes motorway tolls, fuel, luggage and ski equipment, child seats and up to 60 minutes of waiting after your booked pick-up time. Late-night pick-ups carry a small night supplement, which is always included in the price shown before you pay. We cover La Plagne, Montchavin, Les Arcs 1800 and Bourg-Saint-Maurice and the surrounding villages, and the return transfer from La Plagne to Lyon Airport can be booked at the same time.

The route from Lyon Airport to La Plagne

  1. Lyon Airport
  2. Chambéry
  3. Albertville
  4. Aime
  5. La Plagne
≈ 2 h 30162 kmfrom €227

From Lyon Saint-Exupéry the drive follows the A43 motorway east past Chambéry to Albertville, then the N90 expressway up the Tarentaise valley to Aime, before the final mountain road to La Plagne. In normal traffic the drive takes about 2 h 30 for roughly 162 km.

On winter Saturdays, when most chalets and apartments change guests, the roads around Lyon and towards the resorts can be busy, and snowfall slows traffic in the mountains. Your driver plans for this and keeps you informed. For your return flight we usually recommend leaving La Plagne about 4 h before departure on weekdays and about 4 h 30 on winter Saturdays.

Private transfer. The fastest and most comfortable option: you leave as soon as you land, nobody else is in the vehicle, and you are dropped at your own door. For a family or a group of friends, the fixed price per vehicle often costs less per person than individual tickets.

Shared shuttle. Cheaper for one or two travellers, but you share the minibus with other passengers, may wait at the airport until the shuttle is full and stop at several addresses along the way.

Bus. Seasonal coaches link Lyon Airport with the main resorts, mostly on winter weekends. You then need a taxi or a walk with your luggage from the bus stop to your accommodation.

Train. There is no direct train from Lyon Airport to La Plagne: you would travel with at least one change to Aime-La Plagne and continue by bus or taxi, which takes much longer than the road.

Rental car. Possible, but in winter you need winter tyres or chains, parking in La Plagne is limited and often paid, and the car usually stays parked for most of your stay.
