Lyon to Val d’Isere



Transfers from Lyon Airport to Val d’Isere

Lyon-Saint Exupery Airport lies just over 220km west of Val ‘Isere and is a reasonable option for holidaymakers looking to fly and drive to resort. Despite the distance between Lyon airport and Val d’Isere, the route from one to the other is relatively straight with no major diversions. This makes for a journey time of under 3 hours, and although Lyon is not as popular as Geneva airport it does still see its fair share of passengers going on to stay in Val d’Isere.

Lyon airport to Va d'Isere route

From Lyon airport transfers will get straight on to the A43 highway and travel east for almost 140km before reaching Albertville at the beginning of the Tarentaise valley. This is a fast portion of the journey on free-flowing French toll roads. The remainder of the journey follows the same route as all airport transfers to Val d’Isere and snakes through the valley floor on the N90 before heading up the mountain from Bourg St Maurice and reaching Val d’Isere at the far end of the valley.

There is not any reason to take another route to Val d’Isere other than if there are specific problems on the roads when you travel. At peak holiday times, and particularly on Saturdays when the majority of holidaymakers either arrive or depart, the road through the valley can be much slower so it is better to allow more time for the journey.
