Combien de temps de Megève à Courchevel ?

Environ 2h15 par la route en conditions normales, davantage les samedis de vacances scolaires.

Les cols sont-ils praticables l'hiver ?

Plusieurs — dont le Cormet de Roselend et, par moments, le col des Aravis — ferment ou deviennent aléatoires. Les itinéraires hivernaux suivent les vallées, d'où des trajets plus longs que ne le suggère la carte.

Le chauffeur peut-il attendre sur place ?

Oui. La mise à disposition à la journée garde le véhicule avec vous, ce qui est généralement plus simple que deux transferts distincts pour une journée de ski dans une autre vallée.

Resort to resort: Megève, Courchevel, Val d'Isère and Chamonix by road

By the VANTAGE editorial team · 11 March 2026

The map makes the Alps look compact. The roads disagree: valleys run parallel, passes close in winter, and a journey of 90 kilometres can take twice as long as one of 150 on the motorway.

Megève – Chamonix

About 35 km and 40 minutes via Sallanches and the Arve valley — the easiest of the alpine links, and comfortably a half-day trip for the Aiguille du Midi.

Megève – Courchevel

Roughly 130 km and 2h15 through Albertville and Moûtiers. Traffic on transfer Saturdays and the final climb are the two variables; leaving before nine transforms the journey.

Megève – Val d'Isère

Around 160 km and 2h45 via the Tarentaise. Long but scenic, and best done with a driver so the day is spent on the mountain rather than in the seat.

Megève – Genève and beyond

70 km and 1h10 to the airport, with Annecy at 60 km and Lyon at 200 km. These are the routes where a fixed-fare private transfer earns its place over improvisation.

Frequently asked

How long from Megève to Courchevel?: Around 2h15 by road in normal conditions, longer on Saturdays during school holidays.
Are mountain passes usable in winter?: Several — including the Cormet de Roselend and the Col des Aravis at times — close or become unreliable. Winter itineraries follow the valleys, which is why some journeys are longer than the map suggests.
Can a chauffeur wait at the destination resort?: Yes. Day disposal keeps the vehicle with you, which for a ski day in another valley is generally simpler than two separate transfers.
