Where do we drop you?
Return: when should you leave?
We allow 5 h 10 on the road, 15 min margin and 2 h for check‑in.
Les Arcs, four resorts on a balcony
Arc 1600, Arc 1800, Arc 1950 and Arc 2000 are four distinct sites above Bourg‑Saint‑Maurice, linked by a single hairpin road: tell your chauffeur which one is yours, the climb varies from 20 to 40 minutes. Arc 1950 and Arc 2000 are the highest and furthest.
A family alternative: the Bourg‑Saint‑Maurice – Arc 1600 funicular (7 minutes). We can drop you at its lower station if your residence is in 1600, but the car to the door remains the simplest with skis.

A valid ID card is enough for Swiss and EU nationals; other passports should be to hand. Our vehicles are registered for cross‑border trips and there is usually no stop at customs.
Where do I meet the chauffeur at the EuroAirport?
The airport has a Swiss exit and a French exit. Your chauffeur waits at the exit shown on your confirmation (Swiss by default, French for Alsace) with a name board.
What if my flight is delayed?
We track your flight number live. Your chauffeur adjusts to the actual landing time and waits at the Swiss sector exit; 60 minutes of waiting are included beyond that. No fees, nothing to do.
Are skis and bulky luggage accepted?
Yes. The E‑Class takes 3 suitcases and a ski bag; the V‑Class up to 7 suitcases with a ski rack; the Sprinter has a trailer on request. Tell us your equipment when booking, there is no surcharge.
Is the road safe when it snows?
Our vehicles run winter tyres and carry chains, and our chauffeurs know these roads in winter. If a road is closed we drop you at the nearest access point and adjust the price.
Are there busy periods for getting to Les Arcs?
Yes: European film festival in December. On those days we leave earlier and the chauffeur follows live traffic; the price does not change.
