Chambéry Airport
Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport, at Le Bourget-du-Lac near Lac du Bourget, mainly handles seasonal winter flights for skiers heading to the Savoie resorts. Travellers need a transfer from Geneva when flights are diverted, when they fly in and out through different airports, or when connections fit better. A private car links both airports quickly, luggage and skis included.

Chauffeur's tipFor a diverted flight or a tight connection, send us your flight numbers: your chauffeur tracks them and adjusts the pick-up time at either airport.
The route from Geneva Airport to Chambéry Airport
Your chauffeur crosses into France just south of Geneva and follows the A41 motorway past Annecy. Shortly before Chambéry, the driver leaves the motorway towards Aix-les-Bains and Lac du Bourget, and the airport lies on the southern tip of the lake, at Le Bourget-du-Lac and Viviers-du-Lac. The journey is almost entirely motorway, with views of the lake and the Bauges mountains at the end.
Arriving at Chambéry Airport
The airport is small and easy to navigate, with a single terminal and short distances between the drop-off area and check-in. Your driver drops you directly in front of the terminal. In the other direction, from Chambéry to Geneva, your chauffeur waits in arrivals with a name sign and tracks your flight, so a late landing is not a problem. Aix-les-Bains and Chambéry town centre are both a few minutes from the airport.
Practical advice for your transfer
Many passengers using Chambéry are skiers, so declare skis and snowboards when booking: the Mercedes V-Class van takes up to seven passengers with ten bags and ski equipment, and a Sprinter minibus suits larger groups. Winter Saturdays are by far the busiest days at both airports and on the motorway, so allow plenty of margin for a flight connection. AirportsTransfers.ch can also take you onward from Chambéry Airport to the Tarentaise or Maurienne resorts in the same booking.
