Lyon to Les Arcs



Transfers from Lyon Airport to Les Arcs

Flying to Lyon airport and then travelling on to Les Arcs is not the route that people normally think if first. With Chambery being the closest airport to Les Arcs, and Geneva being the busiest airport in proximity to Les Arcs; These are usually what come first to mind when planning a ski holiday. Lyon and Grenoble airports often get overlooked, but if you can find a good deal on flights here then it is well worth considering.

Lyon-Saint Exupery airport is a modern facility with many incoming and outgoing international flights during the winter months. Lying directly west of Les Arcs ski resort, Lyon airport is further away than Chambery airport but it also does not suffer from flight problems during bad weather and is a clean and reliable transport hub.
