Ski Resorts from Lyon: Get to the Slopes with Comfort, Reliability and Ease
Lyon is located at the intersection of major mountain routes. It’s the perfect base for your Alps transfers. Each winter, many travellers leave the city for the Haute-Savoie ski resorts, looking for snow, nature and a change of pace.
Private transport is a great way to avoid having to drive. Comfortable, easy, punctual: customisable services like Taxi Mont Blanc provide a reliable alternative so you can conquer the slopes stress-free, directly from Lyon.
Lyon, Gateway to the Alps
At the foot of the Alps, Lyon is a strategic home base for getting to the most beautiful ski resorts of Savoie and Haute-Savoie. Centrally located and with an excellent public transport network, it is easy to quickly get to many of the most popular ski resorts.
Lyon is a popular winter destination, particularly during school holidays. More and more people travel from the city to the slopes every year. Whether you’re traveling with friends, a partner or family, the goal is always the same: saving time, avoiding stress on the road and enjoying the mountains as soon as you arrive.
To meet these needs, custom transport options with a driver are more and more popular with travellers. Taxi Mont Blanc is a reliable and comfortable alternative. We provide smooth transfers between Lyon and the alpine villages. No need to worry about a car!

Travel without Driving from Lyon

Seasonal buses are cheap, but don’t run often and are not ideal for families or groups traveling with lots of baggage.
For a comfortable trip on your schedule, private transport is the best option. With Taxi Mont Blanc, you get personalised service from Lyon to your accommodation at the ski resort. No driving stress, no change of vehicle: you’ll travel stress-free with an experienced driver in a winter-ready vehicle.
