LYON AIRPORT TRANSFER SERVICES
There are two main transfer types to choose from, and at Alpine Fleet, we can take you from Lyon Airport to your chosen ski resort no matter which you opt for:
LYON AIRPORT SHARED TRANSFERS
Lyon Airport shared transfers will see you share a vehicle with other visitors to the Alps ski resorts. At a pre agreed time, we’ll set off, visiting several resorts where we will drop people off.
Once we get to your resort, you also have the choice of whether you want a door-to-door private transfer for the last section of the trip. This can take you directly to the door of your accommodation choice.
LYON AIRPORT PRIVATE TRANSFERS
Alternatively, our Lyon Airport private transfers will provide you and your group with exclusive access to one of our comfortable vehicles that will go straight to your resort. Often faster than our shared options, as we won’t stop at multiple places along the way, you can enjoy the scenic alpine views in peace and privacy.
