Getting there

FAQ
Frequently asked
Can the helicopter connect with a scheduled flight or jet at Chambéry?
Yes. Chambéry receives ski airline flights and private jets in winter; the helicopter departure is timed to your arrival, luggage included, and adjusted for delays within the weather window.
Is ski equipment carried?
Yes, in covers, in the hold. State the number of pairs at booking; from the altiport, your hotel or chalet is a few minutes away.
What happens if the weather closes the altiport?
The altiport requires visual flight conditions. If they are not met, the flight is brought forward, postponed or replaced by a chauffeured road transfer from Chambéry to the resort.
