Why book with Mountain Rescue?
We're a local family team. We're based in the Tarentaise valley and have been driving these roads for over 15 years. Every driver works for us directly, with no agencies or subcontractors.
Four-wheel drive, every time. The road up from Moûtiers climbs steadily into the Belleville valley. Our minibuses are all 4WD on winter tyres, so snow doesn't slow us down.
Door to door. Most of Les Menuires is built around the slopes, and many apartments are ski-in ski-out. We take you as close to your door as the road allows.

Arriving at Chambéry Airport
Chambéry is a small airport, and you're usually through baggage reclaim in minutes. Your driver will be waiting for you in arrivals with a name board.

The route to Les Menuires
From Chambéry Airport, the motorway takes you quickly to Albertville, home of the 1992 Winter Olympics. From there, the road follows the Tarentaise valley to Moûtiers, the town at the foot of the Three Valleys.
Up the Belleville valley
At Moûtiers, we turn off and climb the Belleville valley, passing the traditional village of St Martin de Belleville. About 30 to 40 minutes after leaving Moûtiers, you reach Les Menuires at 1,850 m, with Reberty just beyond.
Timing your trip
Saturday afternoons are the busiest time on the valley roads. An early landing at Chambéry is the best way to beat the traffic.
For your flight home, we'll usually collect you around 3 hours 30 minutes before take-off. We may come earlier in school holidays or bad weather, and we'll confirm the exact time by text the evening before.
Children’s seats
Baby seats, child seats and boosters are free, and fitted before we meet you. Just tell us your children's ages when you book.
Shopping stop in Moûtiers
Supermarkets in resort are small and expensive. We can stop at the Carrefour in Moûtiers, right at the foot of the climb, so you can stock up for the week. Please book your stop in advance.
