Savoie · Les 3 Vallées · Ski transfer
From Nice Côte d'Azur airport to Courchevel, OK VTC drives you to the door of your chalet or hotel, skis and luggage included. A long journey, planned with a stop on the way and discreet coordination with your concierge.
Why this transfer
Courchevel is one of the best-known ski resorts in the Alps. Set above the Tarentaise valley in Savoie, it is part of Les 3 Vallées, the vast linked ski area it shares with Méribel, Val Thorens and Les Menuires. The resort rises in several villages, from Le Praz up to Courchevel 1850, known for its palace hotels, chalets and altiport. In 2023, Courchevel and Méribel hosted the Alpine World Ski Championships.
From Nice Côte d'Azur airport it is a long drive: about 530 km and 6 h 30 at the wheel, depending on traffic and road conditions, usually via Italy and the Fréjus tunnel. OK VTC handles the transfer door to door, in a vehicle sized for your skis and luggage, with a stop on the way if you wish. It suits guests who fly into Nice or add a few days' skiing to a stay on the Riviera.
Courchevel at a glance
The resort rises in several villages linked by pistes and lifts: tell us yours and the exact address when you book.
01 · THE ICON
The highest and best-known village of the resort, with its palace hotels, chalets and boutiques around La Croisette, where the lifts leave for La Saulire. Close by, the altiport and its sloping runway welcome light aircraft and helicopters.
02 · FOR FAMILIES
Formerly Courchevel 1650, Moriond is a quieter, sunny village popular with families. It has its own snow front and lifts up to the Ariondaz sector, and links to the rest of the ski area by the pistes.
03 · QUIET
Formerly Courchevel 1550, this small village on a balcony above the forest is more discreet than its neighbours. A gondola links it directly to Courchevel 1850: a good choice for a peaceful chalet a few minutes from the slopes.
04 · THE VILLAGE
At about 1,300 m, at the foot of the ski area, Le Praz has kept the feel of a Savoyard village around its lake. Its ski jumps hosted the events of the 1992 Albertville Winter Olympics, and a gondola climbs to Courchevel 1850.
05 · THE SKI AREA
Courchevel belongs to Les 3 Vallées, one of the largest linked ski areas in the world, with Méribel, Val Thorens and Les Menuires. Through La Tania, a village built for the 1992 Games, the pistes reach Méribel without getting back in a car.
A typical transfer day
An example for a morning landing, adjusted to each booking: departure time, stop and route are set with you according to your flight and road conditions.
08:30 · NICE AIRPORT
Your chauffeur waits for you in the arrivals hall of Terminal 1 or 2, based on the flight number you gave us, and helps load skis, boot bags and luggage into the vehicle.
09:00 · ITALIAN RIVIERA
The A8 to the border, then the Autostrada dei Fiori along the Ligurian coast to Savona, and the A6 climbing towards Piedmont and Turin.
12:30 · PIEDMONT
A break of about an hour near Turin, just past halfway: lunch, a coffee and a chance to stretch your legs. The place and length of the stop are agreed with you.
14:45 · FRÉJUS TUNNEL
The A32 climbs the Susa valley to the Fréjus tunnel, then the A43 runs down the Maurienne. After Albertville, the road follows the Tarentaise valley up to Moûtiers.
16:30 · COURCHEVEL
The final climb by the Saint-Bon road to your address. If you wish, we coordinate your arrival with your concierge or hotel for the welcome and key handover.

Practical information
From 1 November to 31 March, winter equipment (winter tyres, or chains or snow socks on board) is compulsory in designated mountain communes under the loi Montagne. The vehicle planned for your transfer takes these winter rules into account.
The most direct route runs through Italy and the toll Fréjus tunnel. Depending on weather, traffic or a road closure, the route may differ, for example on the French side via Grenoble.
When booking, tell us the number of passengers, suitcases, pairs of skis or snowboards and boot bags: this is what decides between a saloon and a van.
The usual route crosses Italy: every passenger must carry a valid passport or identity card, depending on nationality, on the way up and on the way back.
For the return, the pick-up time in Courchevel is set from your flight time, with a margin for the mountain road and check-in. For an early-afternoon flight, departure is very early in the morning.
On a drive of more than six hours, we plan at least one break. A lunch stop can be arranged around halfway in Piedmont, or closer to arrival in Savoie.
