Annecy Train Station Transfer to Val Thorens (2300 m)

Your route to Val Thorens: efficient, panoramic and comfortable

From Annecy’s lakeside town you’ll follow the Aravis foothills, cross the Albertville hub and enter Tarentaise before turning into the Belleville valley. The road profile steadily gains altitude without abrupt hairpins until the final climb beyond Les Menuires. We favour wide, well-maintained sections so that children can nap, laptops can stay open, and bulky ski bags fit neatly in the trunk.

Vehicles prepared for the mountains

Mercedes V-Class vans seat up to seven passengers with multiple large suitcases and ski bags. The cabin warms quickly, interior lighting is soft for early-morning departures, and suspension remains composed on compacted snow. Our sedans suit couples or solo travellers who prefer a quiet, discreet transfer experience.

Included services that truly matter

• Platform meet & greet in Annecy with a name sign so you don’t have to search the station
• Luggage and ski handling from platform to vehicle (no trolley hassle)
• Door-to-door transfer to your chalet, hotel or apartment in Val Thorens
• Child seats (infant and booster) provided free on request — tell us ages and weights
• USB charging for phones and tablets, plus complimentary bottled water

Family, group and corporate travel

We coordinate precisely with your train’s ETA. If you need a brief stop for groceries, a pharmacy run or to collect rentals, tell us beforehand and we will plan a short, efficient detour. For corporate itineraries, we provide neat vehicles, professional chauffeurs and timely invoices.

Booking policy and winter advice

Fixed fare and clear conditions

Your transfer fare is confirmed at booking and remains the same unless you request itinerary changes or additional stops. Mention oversized items (ski bags, snowboards, baby strollers) so we assign the right vehicle.

Train delayed? We adapt

We track TER/TGV arrival boards in real time. On very busy weekends, a long delay may require a new slot; we always propose the fastest workable option and communicate clearly throughout.

Safety first on snow days

Our team monitors prefecture alerts and pass closures. In heavy snowfall we may advise leaving earlier or later to ensure both safety and comfort — chains, winter tyres and experienced driving come as standard.

Packing and arrival tips

Keep gloves and hats handy, pack ski boots in a separate bag, and share your accommodation access code or reception contact. If you plan to pick up equipment in the resort, send us the shop name and we can organise a quick stop.

About Val Thorens: high-altitude convenience

At 2300 m, Val Thorens offers slide-out-of-bed access to the slopes, reliable snow cover and a lively village core. Many accommodations are ski-in/ski-out, which means your transfer really is door-to-door. Restaurants, rental shops and lift pass counters cluster around the Place Caron and Caron gondola. If you’re travelling with beginners, the nursery areas near the village level are sheltered and easy to reach.

Where we drop you

We know the main residences, chalets and hotels by heart (Caribou, Fitz Roy, Koh-I Nor, Péclet sector, Balcons, Rue du Soleil, etc.). Your driver will navigate road restrictions and one-way systems common in high resorts to deliver you as close as possible to the entrance.

Departure day planning

On departure, we agree a pickup time that factors in lift traffic, snow clearing windows and your train’s required check-in at Annecy. Our goal: a stress-free return transfer that keeps your final ski morning intact.
