The route
Motorway to Moûtiers, then the Belleville valley.
From Geneva Airport we cross into France at Bardonnex and stay on the motorway — past Annecy and Chambéry to Albertville. The N90 dual carriageway then runs up the Tarentaise to Moûtiers, where the D117 leaves for the Belleville valley: about 37 km of mountain road through Saint-Martin-de-Belleville and Les Menuires, the last of it above the tree line, until the road ends at Val Thorens.
Satnavs sometimes suggest the D96 out of Moûtiers. The resort itself advises against it — it is narrow and often closed in winter — and so do we: our drivers stay on the D117.

On the ground
Arriving in a resort built for skis, not cars.
Drop-off at your building
Val Thorens is semi-pedestrian: from mid-November to mid-May there is no street parking, but vehicles may stop briefly in front of an accommodation to unload. That is exactly what a transfer needs — the group and the kit go to the door, then the minibus leaves.
Give us the residence name
The resort is compact — about twenty minutes across on foot — but split into several sectors on the slope. The name of your residence or chalet lets the driver take the right access road first time.
Winter equipment, all season
Snow tyres or chains are compulsory in French mountain areas from 1 November to 31 March, and at this altitude the resort recommends them for the whole season. Our vehicles are equipped for it.
Saturdays in the Tarentaise
Most chalets change over on Saturday and the N90 is the only road up the valley; on the busiest weekends the département runs a traffic-management scheme on it. Allow extra time in both directions — a Friday or Sunday transfer is often noticeably quicker.
The other options
Train, coach or a minibus of your own.
Train to Moûtiers
The nearest station is Moûtiers-Salins-Brides-les-Bains, about 37 km below the resort. Buses climb from the station to Val Thorens, but with a group, skis and a change of train on the way, the luggage is the hard part.
Scheduled coach from Geneva
In winter, coach services run from Geneva Airport to the resort. They suit one or two travellers; for a full chalet you are tied to the timetable and to the other passengers' stops.
A private minibus
It leaves when your group has landed, goes straight to your address, and costs the same whether you are 8 or 16 — which is why, for a whole chalet, it often works out close to the per-seat price of shared transport.
Flight running late?
Add your flight number at booking: the driver plans the pick-up around your actual landing time rather than the timetable.
Route FAQ
Asked about Val Thorens transfers.
How much is a transfer from Geneva Airport to Val Thorens?
CHF 1,080 one way in a Mercedes V-Class for up to 7 passengers, or CHF 1,570 in a Mercedes Sprinter for up to 19. The price is per vehicle, tolls and VAT included; card payments add 3.5 %.
How long does the drive take?
About 2 h 42 for roughly 209 km by motorway in normal traffic; allow more on peak changeover Saturdays.
Can 16 people and their skis travel in one minibus?
Yes. The Sprinter seats up to 19 passengers with up to 19 bags. Tell us how many ski bags and boot bags you carry when you book, so we send the right configuration.
Can you drive into Val Thorens? It is a car-free resort.
Street parking is banned in winter, but a short stop in front of your accommodation to unload is allowed. We drop the group at the building and then leave the resort.
Do we need passports?
Val Thorens is in France, so the route crosses the Swiss–French border. Every passenger, children included, should carry a valid passport or national ID card.
Do you also drive to Les Menuires and Saint-Martin-de-Belleville?
Yes, both are on the same road below Val Thorens. Enter your exact address in the booking form and the price is calculated for it.
