Haute-Savoie · Mont Blanc country · Évasion Mont-Blanc
From Nice Côte d'Azur airport to your chalet in Megève, your chauffeur handles the skis, the luggage and a long drive through Italy and the Mont Blanc Tunnel. Designed for guests who land in Nice or finish a stay on the Riviera.
Why this transfer
To be clear: the closest airport to Megève is Geneva, about 80 km away. Starting from Nice makes sense if your flight lands there, if you are spending a few days on the Côte d'Azur before the mountains, or if a family flight into Nice is simply more convenient. The drive is long, about 500 km and over six hours, so OK VTC plans it to stay comfortable, with a break built in.
Megève is a Haute-Savoie village at about 1,100 m, which became a ski resort in the 1920s on the initiative of the Rothschild family. Its old centre, horse-drawn carriages in winter and wooden chalets make it one of the most elegant resorts in the Alps. Your chauffeur drops you at your chalet or hotel and unloads your equipment at the door.
Megève and around
The village, its two main ski sectors, the ski area it shares with its neighbours and the Mont Blanc valley close by.
01 · THE VILLAGE
Around the church of Saint-Jean-Baptiste and its onion-domed bell tower, the cobbled lanes of the medieval-origin village gather shops, restaurants and hotels. In winter, horse-drawn carriages run between the Place de l'Église and the surrounding chalets.
02 · THE HISTORIC SECTOR
This is where Baroness Noémie de Rothschild launched the resort in the 1920s. Lined with large chalets and luxury hotels, the sector links to the Saint-Gervais slopes and offers fine views of the Mont Blanc massif.
03 · RIGHT BY THE VILLAGE
Reached from the centre, the Rochebrune sector is served by one of France's first cable cars built for skiers, opened in the 1930s. Its runs come down to the base area, a few minutes from the village streets.
04 · THE SKI AREA
Megève belongs to the Évasion Mont-Blanc ski area, shared with Saint-Gervais, Combloux and La Giettaz among others. Linked through the Jaillet sector, Combloux is nicknamed the Pearl of Mont Blanc for its view of the summit and its Baroque church.
05 · NEARBY
Just below, Saint-Gervais-les-Bains is a spa town and the starting point of the Mont Blanc Tramway, the highest rack railway in France. Further up the valley, Chamonix makes a fine day away from the Megève slopes.
Transfer day
An example for a morning arrival, adjusted to each request: timings follow your flight, and the break and the route are confirmed with you according to road conditions.
09:30 · NICE AIRPORT
Your chauffeur waits in the arrivals hall with a name sign, then loads the suitcases, ski bags and boot bags before setting off.
10:00 · A8 · VENTIMIGLIA
The A8 motorway follows the coast to the border, then the Autostrada dei Fiori runs towards Genoa before the A26 turns north through Piedmont.
13:00 · PIEDMONT
Roughly halfway, a break for lunch and to stretch your legs, at a motorway service area or at an address you prefer, agreed before departure.
16:00 · MONT BLANC TUNNEL
The A5 climbs the Aosta Valley to Courmayeur. The Mont Blanc Tunnel brings you back into France on the Chamonix side, then the road follows the Arve valley down towards Saint-Gervais.
17:00 · MEGÈVE
Drop-off at your address and equipment unloaded. On request, we coordinate key collection with the chalet's agency or concierge.

Practical information
From 1 November to 31 March, winter equipment is compulsory in designated mountain communes, including those around Mont Blanc. The vehicle planned for your transfer takes these winter rules into account.
The Mont Blanc Tunnel can close for works, and snow sometimes slows the road. We check before departure; if needed, we take the French route via Grenoble and Albertville, about 575 km and 6 h 30.
Tell us the number of passengers, suitcases, pairs of skis or snowboards and boot bags. That is what decides between a saloon and a van.
The usual route goes through Italy and crosses the border twice. Keep a valid passport or national identity card to hand for every passenger, children included.
For the drive back to Nice airport, your departure time from Megève is set from your flight, with a margin for the road and snow. For a late-afternoon flight, plan to leave in the morning.
On a drive of more than six hours, we plan at least one break. Let us know if you are travelling with young children and we will adjust the number and timing of stops.
