What does it cost from Chambéry to Courchevel, Val Thorens or my chalet in the Tarentaise?

What's the price from Chambéry to Courchevel, Val Thorens or my chalet in the Tarentaise?

Prices vary by route, vehicle, season, and time of day. Enter your dates and party size above to see your fixed quoted price for the exact journey.

What's included in my fixed Chambéry price?

Your quoted price covers vehicle hire, fuel, the driver's service fee (tips), tolls, parking, taxes, and any entry, congestion or airport-access fees on the route. There's nothing extra to pay the driver on arrival.

What's NOT included in a Chambéry transfer — what could cost extra?

Charged separately and disclosed before they apply: overtime fees if your trip runs longer than reserved, excess-mileage fees if you exceed your booked distance, night-time service fees on some routes (22:00–08:00), holiday or event surcharges in some regions, additional child seats beyond the first one (which is free), and extra stops you add during the ride.

Will the quoted price change between booking and travel?

No. Once your booking is confirmed, your price is locked — it's what you pay regardless of demand, season or currency changes between today and your travel date. Booking early is the surest way to secure today's rate.

Will I pay anything to the driver on arrival at Chambéry?

No. Your fare is paid in full at booking and covers everything the driver's owed — tips, tolls, fuel, taxes, parking. Bookings are pre-paid via credit card, debit card, or PayPal on the hoppa platform. The only reasons your final charge could differ from the quote are changes you make on the day (extra stops, route changes) or fees for damage or smoking, which are disclosed in our terms.

Are there night-time or holiday surcharges at Chambéry?

Some services include a night-time fee for travel between 22:00 and 08:00, and prices may adjust on local holidays. Both are always reflected in the quote you see before paying — there's nothing additional charged at the trip itself.

Can I tip the driver?

Tipping is entirely at your discretion. The driver's service fee is already included in your fare, so a tip is appreciated but never expected.

Do prices change for larger group sizes?

Rates are set per vehicle category, not per person. Moving up to a larger vehicle to fit a bigger party or extra baggage is reflected in the fixed quote you see at booking.

I think I was overcharged

Disputes must be raised within 14 days of the charge date by emailing customer service with your card statement and a brief explanation. After 14 days, charges are considered final.

Which vehicle fits my group at Chambéry?

How many people and how much luggage fit in each vehicle from Chambéry?

Vehicle categories include Sedan, Business Sedan, Minivan, Business Minivan, Minibus and Bus. Each has a strict insured maximum for passengers and luggage that drivers must adhere to. Default luggage allowance is one 24-inch suitcase per passenger — bags larger than 24″ count as two pieces. Choose a category that fits both your party and your bags.

Will I get the exact car shown in the picture?

Vehicle images are for illustration only. You're booking a category, not a specific model — and we may upgrade you to a higher category at no extra charge if your selected one isn't available.

Can I share a transfer from Chambéry with other passengers?

No. Every vehicle on this route carries your party only, so there are no extra pickups and no waiting at the airport for strangers. You are driven straight to your door.

The fare is per vehicle, not per person. Four people splitting one car each pay a quarter of the price you see.

Can I add a child seat to my Chambéry transfer?

Yes. We offer infant carriers, baby seats and boosters depending on your supplier and route. Add the seat type you need during booking so it can be confirmed in advance.

How much does a child seat cost?

The first child seat in your booking is included free. Any additional seats may carry a fee from the supplier — the exact amount is shown in your booking quote before you pay, so there are no surprises.

I forgot to request a child seat — can I add it after booking?

Yes. Contact customer service as soon as possible to add it to your booking. Late requests are honoured subject to availability, so the sooner you ask, the better. Important: no refund or replacement applies if a driver arrives without a seat that wasn't requested in time.

Is my child seat guaranteed once I've added it to my booking?

If you've added the seat at the time of booking, it's confirmed with your transport supplier. Seats requested after the booking is placed are subject to availability. If a seat ends up unavailable on arrival because it wasn't requested in time, no refund applies.

Can I bring a pet or service animal?

Yes, at no extra charge. Notify us at booking so the right vehicle is allocated. Important: animals count toward the vehicle's passenger capacity — so a 5-seat vehicle with two pets has three human seats.

Do you have wheelchair-accessible options at Chambéry?

Yes. Note any accessibility need (wheelchair, mobility scooter, special assistance) in the booking comments. We work with specialised partners and make reasonable efforts to accommodate.

What if my flight into Chambéry is delayed?

Will my driver wait at Chambéry if my flight is late?

Yes. Your driver waits up to 60 minutes free after your scheduled arrival for airport pickups. For international flights, there's also a 30-minute buffer added on top — so your driver's free waiting period starts after that buffer ends.

What if my flight is delayed by more than 2 hours?

Contact customer service to reschedule. If we can't pick you up at the new time, the order is cancelled without charge.

What if my flight is cancelled entirely?

Your transfer is cancelled free of charge. Contact customer service immediately so we can update the booking.

What if my flight is diverted away from Chambéry?

Contact us immediately. We'll do our best to reschedule your pickup — though we can't guarantee a free transfer if the new airport is in a different region or significantly further from your destination.

Where will I meet my driver at Chambéry?

24 hours before pickup we send a final SMS or WhatsApp with the exact meeting point and your driver's contact details. Meet & greet at the arrival gate is available on request, subject to airport policy — if not possible at the gate, we'll assign an alternative meeting point.

What if I'm stuck inside Chambéry Airport (luggage, immigration)?

Use the emergency number on your e-ticket to call the driver or local supplier and let them know you're still in the terminal. The driver will wait through their free period and, if reached in time, can sometimes extend.

What counts as a no-show?

Not appearing within the free waiting period and being unreachable for additional time. No-shows are charged in full and non-refundable.

Best price & current deals for Chambéry

Where can I find a discount code?

Active offers are applied automatically when you search — there's nothing to enter manually. To see what's currently running, check our discount codes page or our homepage banner.

Should I book my Chambéry transfer early?

Yes. We recommend booking at least 24 hours in advance for the best vehicle selection. Bookings within 24 hours are subject to availability and may carry an expedited service fee. Booking early also locks in today's price.

Is there a low-deposit option?

On selected services and destinations, yes — pay a deposit now and the balance before your travel date. If the balance isn't paid in time the booking auto-cancels and the deposit is forfeited. Note: low-deposit bookings can't be paid with hoppa Credits.

What is Refund Protect?

An optional add-on at checkout from our partner Refund Protect. If you (or anyone in your party) can't attend for a covered reason, you receive 100% of your booking back. Refund Protect's decision is final — see their full terms when adding the option.

Can I use hoppa Credits from a previous booking?

Yes. hoppa Credits apply automatically to your next booking when you log in with the same email. They expire 12 months after issue, can't be transferred between accounts, and can't be combined with low-deposit bookings.

Can I cancel my Chambéry transfer and get a refund?

Yes, depending on timing and vehicle size. Up to 7 seats: free cancellation at least 24 hours before pickup; 100% charge less than 24 hours before. 8–14 seats: free at least 48 hours before pickup. 16+ seats: free at least 14 days before pickup, 50% back less than 14 days but more than 7 days, no refund less than 7 days before pickup. Approved refunds reach your original payment method in 5 to 7 business days.

How much is a taxi from Chambéry Airport to Courchevel, Val Thorens, Val d'Isère or Chambéry?

Chambéry runs on charter Saturdays. A full aircraft empties into a small hall, the rank outside holds a handful of cars, and whoever reaches one first is quoted at the chalet, in euros, after two hours of mountain road.

Settling the figure at home takes a minute and costs less. Courchevel is £454 in a private car for up to three passengers, Val Thorens £485 and Val d'Isère £513. A Chambéry to Val d'Isère transfer by minibus carries the whole party for £550, and the same vehicle to Courchevel starts at £643. Further up, Tignes runs £559 and Les Arcs £513. Prices are indicative. Your exact fare shows at booking.

A cheap ski transfer costs the same on arrival as it did at home. You get one fixed all-in price, free cancellation up to 24 hours before travel, and a vetted local operator who knows which hairpin is shut before the coach driver does.

Chambéry itself and its station are a quarter of an hour away from £104, and both Méribel and La Plagne sit inside two hours up the N90.

Destination	Journey time	Private car (up to 3)	Minibus (7 to 8 seats)
Chambéry Airport to Chambéry and the station	15 to 20 min	from £104	from £201
Up the Tarentaise: one valley road serves all seven, and your turn-off sets the time
Chambéry Airport to Courchevel 1850 and the villages	1 hr 30 to 1 hr 50	from £454	from £643
Chambéry Airport to Méribel and Mottaret	1 hr 30 to 1 hr 50	from £454	from £637

Will my driver be waiting if my flight into Chambéry lands late?

Chambéry handles a winter Saturday's charters in a single burst and spends the rest of the week nearly empty. Two or three aircraft reach the same baggage belt together, and the ski bags come off the oversized belt at their own pace. The question that follows is whether a driver will still be there by the time you walk out.

Your driver tracks the flight from the moment it leaves the stand in the UK, so a landing time that slips drags the pick-up along behind it. You get up to 60 minutes of free waiting after your flight lands. On an international arrival a 30-minute buffer is added before the waiting time starts, which covers the wait at the oversized belt.

A late slot costs you nothing extra, and a night-time arrival was priced the day you booked. If you cannot find your driver among the ski bags, stay where you are and call the number on your e-ticket. A person answers in an average of 11 seconds, at any hour.

Which Chambéry transfer is right for you?

Your headcount picks the vehicle and your gear decides its size. Two of you to a Méribel apartment need a saloon and about ninety minutes. Four with skis need the next size up, which on this airport is worth checking twice, and twelve to one chalet travel better as a single minibus than as three cars arriving twenty minutes apart. The three common cases run like this.

Three people with cabin bags: a private car, the lowest fixed fare to any address in the valley.
Four to seven with skis or a pushchair: an MPV or an eight-seat minibus. Compare the two, since the bigger one undercuts the smaller on several of these roads.
Eight or more to one address: a minibus or a coach, with one fare divided between you.

Your travel style	Recommended service	Why it works
Skis, boards and boot bags	Private car, MPV or minibus	Count the pairs when you book and the vehicle turns up with the room for them. Skis travel as luggage rather than as an extra. Six declared sets ride in one vehicle; six undeclared sets can end up in two.
Two of you to a Three Valleys apartment	A private car for up to 3	One agreed fare from the terminal door to the apartment door. You leave on your own landing time rather than on a coach manifest.
Family of four or five with a chalet booking	Private MPV or minibus	Room for the cases, the boot bags and the pushchair in one go. Compare both sizes at booking: past Moûtiers the eight-seater is often the cheaper of the two. Your first child seat costs nothing.
Chalet party of six to sixteen	Private minibus	One vehicle, one address, one fare split between everyone. Nobody stands in a resort car park waiting for a second car to find the same chalet.
School ski week or club trip	Private coach, up to 60	Your whole group moves on one fixed price with the gear counted in. Give the final headcount at booking so the right coach meets the flight.
Wheelchair user	Wheelchair-accessible minibus	Lift-equipped and pre-booked to your arrival time, seating 1 to 6 passengers. Flag it at booking so the adapted vehicle is the one that comes.

Is hoppa cheaper than the package coach, the train or a taxi from Chambéry Airport?

Four things leave this airport on a Saturday in January, and each one is worth pricing honestly.

The coach bundled into your holiday costs nothing extra and sets its own order. It holds for the last bag off the last flight, then works round five or six resorts. Land at two and you can still be checking in at eight.
The train starts in Chambéry, nine kilometres from the terminal. You pay to reach it, pay again up the Tarentaise line, then wait for a resort bus at Moûtiers or Bourg-Saint-Maurice with your skis on your shoulder.
The rank taxi fixes nothing in advance. A handful of cars meet a full aircraft and the meter runs every hairpin.
A hire car looks keen until the winter tyres, the chains and a week of resort parking reach the bill.

Price it against the way your own party travels. Four people to Val d'Isère fit the minibus at £550, about £138 each, dropped at the door on your own landing time. Four to Courchevel come in at £548, around £137 a head. The bundled coach costs nothing and takes the back half of your first day.

Transport option	Indicative price to Val Thorens	Journey time	What is included and what to watch for
hoppa private car (up to 3)	from £485	1 hr 50 to 2 hr 15	Fixed all-in price, terminal to chalet. Your named driver meets you in arrivals and you cancel free up to 24 hours before travel.
hoppa minibus (7 to 8 seats)	from £637	1 hr 50 to 2 hr 15	The whole party and its gear in one vehicle, on one fare you divide between you. Declare the ski count at booking.
hoppa private coach (up to 60)	Priced per group at booking	1 hr 50 to 2 hr 15	School weeks, university trips and company parties travel on a single fixed price. Headcount and gear count are set when you book.
Tour operator's included coach	Bundled into the holiday price	3 to 5 hr door to door	It waits for the last bag off the last flight, then calls at five or six resorts in turn. Your resort decides whether you arrive at four or at eight.
Taxi from the airport rank	Metered, agreed with nobody	2 hr and up	A handful of cars meet a full charter. The meter runs the whole climb and the fare lands in euros at the chalet door.
Train from Chambéry station	Per person, plus the 9 km to reach it	4 hr and up with the changes	The Tarentaise line runs from the town, not the terminal. Moûtiers and Bourg-Saint-Maurice are the stops, with a resort bus on the end of each.
Hire car	Daily rate plus the winter extras	2 hr and up	Winter tyres, chains and a week of resort parking all go on top. French mountain roads carry a winter-equipment law from 1 November to 31 March.

Watch the hidden cost: nothing on this journey stays still except a fixed price. A meter keeps counting through the Moûtiers queue and through a chain check above Bourg-Saint-Maurice. A free coach seat costs you the back half of your first day, and a hire car adds winter equipment on top of a week of resort parking. Your hoppa fare is one sterling figure, closed at the moment you pay, and cancellation stays free up to 24 hours before travel.

How to book your Chambéry airport transfer with hoppa

Takes under two minutes to complete.

Book Now

Search by flight or route

Enter Chambéry Airport as your pick-up, then the chalet, apartment or hotel address. The village name does the work in La Plagne and the level number does it in Les Arcs. Add your flight number and hoppa tracks it automatically.

Choose your vehicle

Compare private car, MPV, minibus and coach side by side on fixed all-in prices. The airport pick-up charge, the French tolls and any night-time period are already in the fare, and the vehicle types page shows seats and luggage for each.

Add extras

Say how many pairs of skis, boards and boot bags are travelling. Request child seats (the first is free) or the refundable upgrade. The vehicle extras page lists what you can add.

Confirmed instantly

Your e-ticket arrives with your driver's name, vehicle registration, photo and exact meeting point at Chambéry, inside the single arrivals hall for cars and minibuses and the coach bay for coaches.

A few things worth knowing before you book:

Six details decide whether your booking runs smoothly, so check them before you pay.

The first child seat is free with every hoppa transfer. Request it at booking: the vehicle extras page shows the seats and boosters you can add, and a seat that is not on the booking can mean a refused ride with no refund.
Your fixed price is all-in. The airport pick-up fee, the French motorway tolls and any night-time period between 22:00 and 08:00 are already inside the fare. There is nothing extra to pay the driver.
Each passenger gets one case up to 24 inches. A bag over 24 inches counts as two pieces, so size up on the vehicle types page if you travel heavy. Count the ski and board bags into your luggage total at booking.
Free cancellation applies up to 24 hours before travel on cars up to 7 seats, 48 hours before on 8 to 14 seaters and 14 days before on 16 seats and above. On a 16+ seater you get half the booking value back when you cancel less than 14 days but more than 7 days before pick-up, and nothing back less than 7 days before. The hoppa help centre walks you through a cancellation or a change.
Pets and service animals are welcome. They count toward the vehicle's passenger capacity, so flag them at booking.
Book inside 24 hours of travel and an expedited booking fee applies, so the day before is the cheapest moment to lock it in.

Where you are actually going when you fly into Chambéry

One road leaves Chambéry and climbs the Tarentaise, and all seven resorts hang off it. Moûtiers is the turn for the Three Valleys, and Aime and Bourg-Saint-Maurice are the turns for Paradiski. Keep going and the tarmac ends at the Espace Killy. Where you sit on that road sets the drive, from about an hour and a half to Courchevel out to two and a half hours to Val d'Isère.

Scenic view of a snowy village nestled by mountains showcasing winter beauty.

Courchevel, Méribel and Val Thorens: the Three Valleys

All three turn off at Moûtiers and climb different sides of the same ski area, the largest linked one on earth. Courchevel stacks up in numbered villages from Le Praz to 1850. Méribel runs wooden and low through the middle. Val Thorens tops out at 2,300 metres with no trees at all. Give your driver the village and the chalet name, since the hairpins between levels add twenty minutes.

Private car from £454 to Courchevel · 1 hr 30 to 1 hr 50

Picturesque street view of a European mountain town with wooden buildings.

Tignes and Val d'Isère: the far end of the road

These two share the Espace Killy and sit at the top of the Tarentaise, past Bourg-Saint-Maurice and up the last climb through Sainte-Foy. Val d'Isère is the old village with the lifts built around it. Tignes is four purpose-built hamlets on a reservoir, where Val Claret and Le Lac are a long walk apart. Snow holds here into May, and so does the drive time.

Private car from £513 to Val d'Isère · 2 hr 20 to 2 hr 45

Stunning view of snowcapped mountains in Saint-Gervais-les-Bains, France. Perfect skiing destination.

Les Arcs and La Plagne: Paradiski

The Vanoise Express cable car joins these two across the valley on one lift pass. Les Arcs climbs in numbered levels above Bourg-Saint-Maurice, from 1600 up to 2000. La Plagne is eleven separate villages spread over a shelf, which is why the village name matters far more than the resort name on your booking. Montchavin and Champagny sit low and quiet on either end.

Private car from £513 to Les Arcs · 2 hr to 2 hr 20

Scenic view of Annecy canal with medieval European architecture in winter.

Chambéry, Lac du Bourget and the way home

The terminal sits on the shore of Lac du Bourget, the largest natural lake in France, with Aix-les-Bains ten minutes north. Chambéry itself is a quarter of an hour south, an old Savoyard capital with arcaded streets and a castle. It is worth a night at either end of a ski week, and it is the only mainline station anywhere near this airport.

Can I cancel or change my hoppa transfer?

Yes. For a private car or any vehicle up to 7 seats, cancel at least 24 hours before travel for a full refund. Larger vehicles carry longer windows: 8 to 14 seaters at least 48 hours before, and 16+ seaters at least 14 days before. Cancel a 16+ seater less than 14 days but more than 7 days and you get half the booking value back. Inside 7 days you get nothing. Where your booking is eligible, you can make one free change to passenger names, contact numbers, passenger count or luggage count. A change of route, vehicle type or pick-up point means cancelling and rebooking at the current price. You can add a refundable upgrade at booking. Its price depends on the booking and the vehicle you choose. The first child seat is free when you request it at booking.

A late landing reaches your driver's screen before it reaches the arrivals board, and your free waiting time runs from the moment you actually touch down.
One number on the e-ticket reaches a person, on average inside 11 seconds, at midnight above Bourg-Saint-Maurice as readily as at noon.

Chambéry Airport terminal guide & tips

Chambéry has one small terminal and a single arrivals hall, and everyone walks out of the same door, which makes a driver easy to spot. Three things are worth knowing about the pick-up.

Private transfers wait in the arrivals hall, in the short row of drivers past the barrier.
Private coaches use the coach bay beside the terminal, a minute's walk and signed from the door.
Skis and boards ride the oversized baggage belt behind the main carousel. Collect them first, then go looking.

The meeting point and the number to call are on your e-ticket. The hall empties quickly once a charter clears.

Arrival Guide Delays & Drivers Travel Info What to do?

Arrivals

Chambéry lands UK charters into one small arrivals hall. Clear the checks, take your cases off the carousel, then collect skis and boards from the oversized baggage belt behind it. Everything happens in one room. Your e-ticket lists your exact meeting point and a number to call if you cannot see your driver.

Private transfers

Your driver waits in the arrivals hall, a few paces past the barrier, holding a sign that shows your name or the 'hoppa' logo.

Coaches

Walk out to the coach bay beside the terminal, signed from the door. Follow the coach signs rather than the taxi ones.

Delays & Driver Info

Free waiting time

You get up to 60 minutes of free waiting after your flight lands. On an international arrival a 30-minute buffer is added before the waiting time starts, which covers the wait at the oversized belt for skis and boards.

Your driver tracks your flight from the moment you board. Lake fog and winter weather send Chambéry arrivals to Lyon or Geneva, and your driver knows before the hall does. They will contact you to reposition or rebook. A delayed flight simply moves your pick-up and there is nothing for you to do.

Can't find your driver?

Stay inside the arrivals hall and call the number on your e-ticket. hoppa's team picks up in an average of 11 seconds, a 99.7% call answer rate: a real person, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The hoppa help centre answers most questions before you need to call.

General Travel Information

€

Currency & tipping

Savoie runs on euros. Prices on this page are shown in pounds. Tipping is not expected, and your hoppa price is fixed in advance, so there is nothing to settle with the driver at the chalet.

Peak traffic

Saturday is changeover day across the Alps. The N90 up the Tarentaise fills from 09:00 and stays full past 17:00 from late December to early March. The bottleneck is Moûtiers, where the Three Valleys traffic turns off. A Saturday run can take half an hour longer than the same road midweek.

Avoid unofficial taxis

Ignore anyone in the hall offering a 'good price to the resort.' Your driver is holding your surname. The marked official rank is outside if you want a metered French taxi.

Honest alternative

No railway reaches this terminal. The Tarentaise line runs from Chambéry station, nine kilometres south, and stops at Moûtiers and Bourg-Saint-Maurice with a resort bus on the end. Every journey from this airport starts on the road.

What to do around Chambéry?

If your flight home is late in the day, the lake and the old town are both close enough to fill the gap.

Lac du Bourget starts at the end of the runway, with Aix-les-Bains ten minutes north for the lakefront and the thermal baths.
Chambéry old town is a quarter of an hour away, with the dukes' castle, the arcaded streets and the elephant fountain in the middle of it.
The Bauges massif rises straight out of the lake behind the airport, and the road up to the Col du Granier is twenty minutes of hairpins with the whole valley underneath.

What time does the Saturday run back down have to leave?

Book your return from Courchevel, Méribel, Val Thorens, Tignes or Les Arcs to Chambéry Airport!

Set the return at the same moment as the outbound and a driver is outside the chalet at the hour you name. The vehicle waits free for up to 15 minutes beyond it, so have the group and the gear down on the step.

Count backwards and leave room. Ninety minutes at Chambéry covers a UK charter, and the drive down takes an hour and a half from Courchevel, two hours from Val Thorens and closer to two and a half from Val d'Isère. Changeover Saturday fills the N90 in both directions from first light, and every chalet in the valley empties on the same morning as yours.

Ready to book your Chambéry airport transfer?

The first day of a ski week is the one that gets eaten. You land at two, the coach fills slowly, and the light is going by the time the key turns in the door.

Booking the transfer before you pack changes that afternoon. Somebody stands in the hall holding a board with your surname, you settled the fare in pounds weeks ago, and the two hours of mountain road belong to a driver who ran them last weekend.

Book your Chambéry airport transfer before you pack the skis. Keep the hoppa app on your phone for same-day changes, and see every route hoppa runs across France.

Chambéry airport transfers: Frequently asked questions

How much is a transfer from Chambéry Airport to Courchevel, Méribel or Val Thorens?

Courchevel costs £454 in a private car for up to three, Méribel £454 and Val Thorens £485, all-in. A minibus to Courchevel starts at £643. All three turn off the valley road at Moûtiers and climb different sides of the same ski area. Give the village and the chalet name, since the levels are twenty minutes apart. Prices are indicative.

How much is a transfer from Chambéry Airport to Tignes or Val d'Isère?

Tignes costs £559 and Val d'Isère £513 in a private car for up to three. Eight seats to Val d'Isère start at £550, which comes in under the five-seat MPV on this route. These are the long legs, up past Bourg-Saint-Maurice and over the last climb. Prices are indicative.

How much is a transfer from Chambéry Airport to Les Arcs or La Plagne?

Les Arcs costs £513 and La Plagne £454 in a private car for up to three, French tolls inside the fare. A minibus to Les Arcs is from £637. Les Arcs is numbered by altitude above Bourg-Saint-Maurice and La Plagne is eleven villages on a shelf, so the village name matters more than the resort name. Prices are indicative.

How long is the transfer from Chambéry Airport to Val d'Isère and Val Thorens?

Val d'Isère takes about two hours and twenty minutes in clear conditions and Val Thorens closer to two hours. Changeover Saturday adds half an hour on either road, with the queue at Moûtiers doing most of the damage. Your driver watches the traffic and the chain checks on the day and leaves accordingly.

Is Chambéry the closest airport to the Three Valleys and the Tarentaise?

Yes, by a clear margin for most of these resorts. Courchevel and Méribel are about ninety minutes from Chambéry and nearer three hours from Geneva. Val Thorens is two hours against two and a half. That gap is the reason UK ski charters use this runway at all, and it is worth an afternoon of your week.

Can I take skis, a snowboard and boot bags in a hoppa transfer?

Yes. Put the number of boot bags, boards and ski pairs into the booking and the right size of vehicle turns up for it. Hard cases and boot bags travel as luggage, with nothing charged for carrying them. Declare six sets and six sets ride together. Leave them off the booking and the driver may only have room for four.

Does hoppa run a shared transfer from Chambéry Airport to the ski resorts?

No. Chambéry transfers are all private, so the vehicle is yours and it drives straight to your address. The tour operator's coach is the shared option here, and it calls at five or six resorts in turn. Put four people in a minibus up to Val d'Isère at £550 and it reads about £138 each, door to door, on the hour your plane actually landed.

Is there a train or a bus from Chambéry Airport to the ski resorts?

No line reaches the terminal. The Tarentaise railway runs from Chambéry station, nine kilometres south, and its useful stops are Moûtiers for the Three Valleys and Bourg-Saint-Maurice for Les Arcs. Each one still needs a resort bus on the end. The local bus into town is built around the working week rather than a Saturday charter.

Where do I meet my driver at Chambéry Airport?

In the single arrivals hall, where the drivers stand in one short row past the barrier. Look for your name or the hoppa logo on one of the boards. Collect skis and boards from the oversized belt behind the main carousel first, as that is the slow part. A private coach loads at the coach bay outside, and the exact point is printed on your e-ticket.

Will my driver wait if my flight into Chambéry is delayed or diverted?

Yes. Your driver goes by the tracked landing time rather than the timetable your charter was sold on. You get up to 60 minutes of free waiting after your flight lands. On an international arrival a 30-minute buffer is added before the waiting time starts. Fog here sends charters to Lyon or Geneva, and your operator contacts you to reposition or rebook when it does.

Do I need snow chains or winter tyres for a transfer up the Tarentaise?

Your driver deals with it. A winter-equipment law covers French mountain roads from 1 November to 31 March, and every vehicle working these valleys is kitted for it. Drive yourself and the gear, the fines and the roadside fitting above Moûtiers are your own. Winter kit adds nothing to what you were quoted.

Is the chalet-to-airport run back to Chambéry bookable too?

Yes. Put the chalet or apartment as the pick-up and Chambéry Airport as the drop-off, and the fare home is locked in at booking just the same. Your driver arrives at the hour you chose and waits free for up to 15 minutes beyond it. Give yourself ninety minutes inside the terminal for a UK charter, plus the drive down, plus extra on a changeover Saturday.

Can one vehicle take a sixth-form trip or a full chalet?

Yes. A private minibus carries up to 22 passengers with one bag each, and a private coach seats up to 60, so a sixth-form trip, a university club or a full chalet travels together on one fixed all-in price. Give your final headcount and luggage count at booking so the right size meets you. Larger vehicles carry longer cancellation windows: 48 hours for 8 to 14 seaters and 14 days for 16 seats and above. Cancel a 16+ seater less than 14 days but more than 7 days and you get half the booking value back. Inside 7 days you get nothing.

Does the Chambéry transfer price include tolls and the night-time surcharge?

Yes. Your hoppa price is all-in. The airport pick-up fee, the French motorway tolls on the run up the valley and any night-time period between 22:00 and 08:00 are already inside the fare. You pay in pounds at booking and there is nothing to settle in euros at the chalet door.

Can I add a child seat to my Chambéry transfer?

Yes. The first child seat is free with every hoppa transfer. Request it at booking, with your child's age, so the driver fits it before you land. A seat that is not on the booking can mean a refused ride with no refund, so add it when you book rather than on the day.

Can I cancel or change my Chambéry transfer?

Yes. For cars and vehicles up to 7 seats, cancel at least 24 hours before travel for a full refund. For 8 to 14 seat vehicles the window is 48 hours, and for 16 seats and above it is 14 days. Cancel a 16+ seater less than 14 days but more than 7 days and you get half the booking value back. Inside 7 days you get nothing. Where your booking is eligible, you can make one free change to passenger names, contact numbers, passenger count or luggage count. A change of route, vehicle type or pick-up point means cancelling and rebooking at the current price.

Do I pay the driver on arrival?

No. You pay in full at booking and your e-ticket is your receipt. hoppa accepts Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro and PayPal at checkout. The driver has nothing to collect, and a tip is not part of the arrangement in France.
