The journey

From Saint-Exupéry to the Arve valley

The journey follows the A40 motorway, nicknamed the "White Highway" because it serves the entire Mont-Blanc massif. After approximately 1h45 of motorway via Mâcon, Bourg-en-Bresse and Annecy, the route reaches the RN205 at Cluses, which leads to Chamonix-Mont-Blanc in 30 to 40 minutes.

Outside tourist season, expect 2h15 to 2h45. In winter, Saturdays from January to March generate heavy ski-resort returns — allow up to 3h30. Our driver monitors traffic live and adjusts departure time or route as needed.

Mountain Law II compliance

All our vehicles carry winter tyres from November to March, in compliance with French regulations. Chains on board for extreme conditions.

Ski equipment transport

Sedans: 1 pair of skis or snowboard per passenger. 7-seat vans: external ski rack and extended trunk for boards, bags and bulky ski boots.

Full valley coverage

Drop-off at exact address in Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, Argentière, Les Houches, Servoz, Les Bossons or Vallorcine. Included in the flat rate.
