Private transfer Nice Airport → Isola 2000

From the airport you follow the Var valley, then turn into the Tinée valley at Saint-Sauveur-sur-Tinée. The road runs beside gorges, goes through small villages and climbs in hairpins for the last section to the resort. Outside holiday periods, allow between an hour forty-five and two hours fifteen for about ninety-five kilometres.

There is no bypass in winter: if an incident blocks the valley, the chauffeur waits for the reopening with you rather than sending you on a risky detour. That is why an early start is better than leaving in the last hours of the day.

During the week the road is quiet. On Saturdays in the school holidays, thousands of skiers arrive and leave on the same day, which slows the Tinée valley and the climb to Isola 2000: allow up to three and a half hours, or more after heavy snowfall. For arrivals the best slot is early morning; for departures, avoid the closing time of the lifts, when every car leaves the resort at once.

For a flight leaving Nice on a Saturday, leave the resort early in the afternoon: we work out the departure time with your terminal and a safety margin suited to the snow and the traffic of the day.

Our vehicles are equipped for winter conditions and for carrying skis. In mountain municipalities, winter equipment is compulsory on the roads concerned from 1 November to 31 March (Loi Montagne); the chauffeur takes care of it, you have nothing to arrange.

For a family or a group with skis, snowboards and suitcases, choose the V-Class van, which takes up to 7 passengers with their luggage. State the number of pairs of skis and suitcases when you book, and say whether you need a child seat, available on request.

In practice the rule calls for winter tyres or, failing that, removable anti-skid devices (chains or snow socks) on board: the chauffeur takes care of it. As for space, an E-Class suits one or two travellers and their luggage, an S-Class adds the comfort of a prestige saloon, and a 16-seat minibus is possible for a larger group. Give us the name of your residence so that the drop-off is as close to the entrance as possible.
