Private transfer Nice Airport → Auron

The journey follows the Var valley and then the Tinée valley, which you climb as far as Saint-Étienne-de-Tinée, the last town before the resort. The Auron road then gains height through a series of bends to about sixteen hundred metres. Allow one hour forty-five to two hours fifteen in normal conditions, for roughly one hundred kilometres.

The chauffeur drops you as close as possible to your accommodation: a residence at the foot of the slopes, a chalet in the village or a hotel. Give us the address and, for an apartment, the key handover point, so that the arrival happens without waiting in the cold.

During the school holidays, Saturdays are the busiest days: every stay starts and ends on the same day. The narrow Tinée valley slows down as soon as traffic builds. Leaving the airport straight after landing, before the end of the morning, avoids the worst hours. For a return, favour a departure before lunch or after the slopes close.

On the busiest Saturdays, allow up to three and a half hours. We say so when you book, so that your first evening does not begin in the car.

Our vehicles are equipped for winter conditions. The Auron climb and the Tinée valley are subject to snow and ice: the chauffeur adapts his or her driving, watches the road bulletins and may change the departure time if snowfall is forecast. As a reminder, winter equipment is compulsory from 1 November to 31 March on the mountain roads concerned.

A V-Class van suits groups with skis, snowboards and suitcases, and a child seat can be arranged on request. For a longer stay, we suggest booking the return at the same time as the outward journey.

In practical terms you need either winter tyres or snow chains or snow socks inside the vehicle. At about 1,600 metres, the climb to Auron can be snowy or icy: allow a margin in your arrival time. For more than seven people with their suitcases and skis, a 16-seat minibus is possible, while an E-Class or S-Class suits a couple.
