Valmorel
Valmorel is a purpose-built resort in Savoie designed in a village style, with a largely pedestrian centre and slopes linked to Saint-François-Longchamp. It suits families who want a compact, easy resort. Getting there by public transport means a train to Moûtiers and a bus, so a private car from Geneva saves a lot of hassle at the start of a holiday.
Chauffeur's tipThe resort centre is pedestrian: your chauffeur will drop you at the closest road access or car park to your residence, so keep luggage manageable for the last metres.
The route from Geneva Airport to Valmorel
Your chauffeur crosses into France at the edge of Geneva and takes the A41 motorway past Annecy towards Chambéry, then turns onto the A43 and A430 to Albertville. From there the N90 dual carriageway climbs the Tarentaise valley; before Moûtiers, the driver leaves it near Aigueblanche and takes the mountain road up to Valmorel. Most of the journey is motorway, with a final climb of about half an hour.
Arriving in Valmorel
Valmorel is built around a pedestrian high street, the Bourg-Morel, with residences and chalet hamlets spread over the hillside. Vehicles cannot drive into the centre, so your driver stops at the nearest permitted access point or car park for your accommodation; many hamlets on the slopes, by contrast, are reachable by road. Ask your residence which access is closest and share it when booking. Many residences provide luggage trolleys or a porter service for the final stretch.
Practical advice for your transfer
- Declare skis and bulky bags at booking; the Mercedes V-Class van takes seven passengers with ten bags and skis.
- Saturday traffic on the N90 and at the Albertville junction can be heavy in high season.
- Book your return at the same time so your departure is fixed before you leave.
AirportsTransfers.ch tracks your flight, meets you with a name sign and includes waiting time if your flight lands late.
