Lyon-Saint Exupéry Airport is the natural air hub for travellers heading to Chambéry, historic capital of the Duchy of Savoy and a true gateway to the Northern Alps. This characterful city, nestled between the Chartreuse and Bauges massifs, proudly bears the traces of its princely past: the Dukes of Savoy castle, once home to the Holy Shroud before its transfer to Turin, dominates the Old Town from its promontory. The medieval streets of the historic centre reveal an unexpectedly rich architectural heritage with ornate facades and hidden courtyards. Chambéry is also the strategic crossroads of the great Alpine valleys: the Tarentaise towards the Three Valleys (Courchevel, Méribel, Val Thorens), the Maurienne towards Val d'Isère, and the Alpine furrow towards Grenoble and Annecy. The airport's integrated TGV station designed by Santiago Calatrava and its 130-plus destinations make it the most practical international access point to this Alpine region.
Route
Route Aéroport Lyon-Saint Exupéry → Chambéry
From Lyon-Saint Exupéry Airport, the driver takes the A43 motorway towards Chambéry. The route crosses the eastern Lyon plains through L'Isle-d'Abeau and Bourgoin-Jallieu. The landscape gradually becomes hillier approaching the Alpine foothills. A highlight is the 3.3-kilometre Épine tunnel, which emerges directly into the Chambéry basin with a spectacular view of the Bauges massif and, on clear days, the first Vanoise snows. Lac du Bourget, France's largest natural lake immortalised by Lamartine, appears on the left. Arrival in Chambéry is from the west, with quick access to the city centre, the SNCF station or the roads leading to Savoy ski resorts.

Specific tips for the Aéroport Lyon-Saint Exupéry → Chambéry route
The one-hour journey is one of the most direct and smooth from the airport, following a single motorway with no complex junctions. In winter, Friday evenings and Saturday mornings see heavier traffic on the A43 due to ski resort departures — allow 15–20 extra minutes on those days. If your final destination is a ski resort (Courchevel, Méribel, Val Thorens, La Plagne, Les Arcs), the driver can continue directly from the airport without stopping in Chambéry centre, optimising your travel time — request an all-in quote when booking. For ski groups of 6–7 people, our spacious van comfortably accommodates passengers, luggage and ski equipment in a single vehicle.
