Méribel Airport Transfers: How to Get From the Runway to the Resort Smoothly?

So, your flights and chalets have been arranged; now, all that remains is for the snow to arrive. This is the next important thing you need to sort out: the transfer itself. Transferring into the valley may become the most difficult part of a skiing vacation if not thought through in advance; however, with some prior planning, it will turn out to be the easiest part. Here is everything you should know about Méribel airport transfers. 

Which Airport Should You Fly Into? 

There are various airports that people can choose from, and there are things that make each of them different from the others. The most common destination for the majority of tourists is Geneva because it offers a lot of flights. The driving distance from the airport to the resort takes approximately two and a half to three hours. The Chambéry Airport to Méribel transfer is much nearer, as it makes the driving time about one and a half hours. However, there are fewer flights offered by this airport, and they are mostly on Saturdays in the winter season. Grenoble airport is quite popular now due to Ryan Air cheap flights. Lyon Airport is also popular with the major airlines, such as British Airways and Easy Jet.

You Must Know Your Transfer Options 

After your airport arrival, you will be able to use a couple of options in order to get to your resort. A Méribel airport transfer from Geneva is usually available either as a shared shuttle or a private minibus service. Shared shuttles are cheaper options but have their disadvantages, such as additional time spent waiting for fellow passengers as well as stops along the way. A private minibus or car transfer is faster and provides direct service to your doorstep according to your flight timetable.

A Grenoble airport transfer to Méribel is another suitable choice similar in travel time to Lyon and Geneva. 

A Lyon airport transfer to Méribel is a good choice at weekends for either charred or private transfers. It is similar in travel time to Geneva & Grenoble.

A Chambéry airport transfer to Méribel is a faster choice compared to Geneva, Lyon, or Grenoble because of its shorter distance and therefore may be considered for reducing travel time. However, most transfers from Chambéry airport are private only. In any case, make sure you consider baggage options as well since ski cases, boots, and suitcases require plenty of space in a vehicle.

Why Booking in Advance Matters?

Alpine winter road conditions present their own unique set of difficulties, and there is high demand on weekend changeover days. Saturday is particularly busy, and the best departure times are taken up fast. When you book a  Geneva Airport to Méribel transfer ahead of time, it is easier for you to choose the right vehicle and the best time at the best price. Plus the advantage of having no need to search for transport in the arrivals hall after arrival.

It is best to arrange your transfer at the same time as your flights & accommodation. Once you have your known arrival time and destination point, it will be easier for an exact quotation on cost.

Tips for a Stress-Free Journey

• Make sure to pack a few necessities in your carry-on bag, such as some food, extra clothing, and any essential medicine, just in case your luggage is lost or delayed. 
• Always make sure to have the driver’s number handy, as well as your resort’s actual  address.
• If your arrival time is later in the evening, be sure to inform your hosts or apartment agency so that keys are arranged or you’ll be greeted by someone when you arrive.
