Megève is the most discreet of the great ski resorts — a Savoyard village of cobblestone squares, Michelin-starred restaurants and wooded slopes that the Rothschilds made fashionable a century ago. It rewards travelers who arrive calm and move easily between village, slopes and dinner tables. That is exactly what a private chauffeur provides.
Getting to Megève: Your Airport Options
Megève is unusually well connected, which is part of its charm:
• Geneva Airport: 80 km, about 1h15 — the main gateway for international guests.
• Lyon Airport: 200 km, about 2h15 via the A40.
• Chambery Airport: 110 km, about 1h30 — popular with winter charter flights.
• Private aviation: Annecy and Geneva handle most business jets, with helicopter transfers to Megève's heliport available on request.
A shared transfer may leave you waiting up to an hour at the airport and drop you a walk from your hotel; a private chauffeur takes you from arrivals directly to your chalet door, skis and all.
Beyond the Slopes: Evenings and Day Trips
Megève's real luxury is its calendar. A car with a driver turns every evening into an occasion:
• Dinner at a three-Michelin-star table in Saint-Gervais or Flocons de Sel without thinking about the drive back.
• A day trip to Chamonix (1h15) to see the Mer de Glace and the Aiguille du Midi.
• Shopping in Annecy's old town (45 minutes) or crossing into Italy's Aosta Valley for lunch.
• Ski-joring, dog-sledding or the famous Megève Polo on Snow — arrive relaxed, leave when you like.
Winter Roads Around Megève
The roads into Megève climb through the Aravis and Mont Blanc massifs, and conditions change fast between November and April. Black ice around dusk, sudden snowfall and narrow village streets are routine. Posh Transport's chauffeurs drive these routes daily in winter: vehicles carry mandatory winter equipment, and itineraries are adjusted in real time when the Col des Aravis closes or the valley road jams after fresh snow.
Hourly Hire vs. Point-to-Point
For most guests, a mix works best: a private transfer on arrival and departure days, then hourly hire (mise à disposition) for evenings and day trips. You get the same chauffeur all week — someone who knows your children's car seats, your favorite restaurant and which route is fastest at 7 p.m. on a Saturday.
“Megève is not a resort you rush. The right driver lets you live at the village's pace, not the shuttle bus's.
