Val Thorens is the crown jewel of the 3 Valleys, the world's largest ski area. At 2,300m altitude, the resort guarantees exceptional snow from November to May. From Lyon, a taxi transfer is the most comfortable solution: no rental car to manage in the snow, no chains to fit, no overpriced resort parking (€25/day underground). The 2h45 journey crosses the Savoyard foothills, the industrial Maurienne valley, then the spectacular 35 km ascent from Saint-Martin-de-Belleville. Families with children and ski equipment particularly appreciate the taxi: spacious boot for skis, child seat on request, direct arrival at the residence door.
Route
Route Lyon → Val Thorens
Departure from Lyon via the eastern ring road then A43 towards Chambéry (80 km, 50 min). After Chambéry, the A43 continues through the Maurienne valley — a spectacular alpine corridor between the Vanoise and Cerces massifs. Exit Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne (150 km), then the D117 climbs to Saint-Martin-de-Belleville. The final 35 km are mountain road: winding but well-maintained, cleared of snow in winter. Arrival at Val Thorens is via a single road winding from 1,400m to 2,300m — the panorama of snowy peaks is breathtaking.
Main route: A43 jusqu'à Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne puis D117/D915 — ~18 € de péages
