Your driver meets you in the Arrivals hall with your name displayed on their phone. Bergamo Orio al Serio is a single-terminal airport — busy, particularly on Ryanair turnaround days, but straightforward to navigate once you're through baggage claim. We monitor your flight in real time. The first 90 minutes of waiting after scheduled landing are included. A note on the name: BGY is marketed as "Milan Bergamo" but it's actually in Bergamo — about 45 km northeast of Milan city centre. If your final destination is Milan rather than the Alps, factor in that journey separately.

Your driver drops you at your accommodation — hotel entrance or chalet door, wherever you need to be. The altitude matters more than you might think. Le Praz at 1300m is the first village on the way up — accessible, traditional, with narrow stone streets that feel more Savoyard than ski resort. La Tania sits just off the main road in a quiet pocket of trees. Courchevel Village (1550) is the family hub, home to the Aquamotion centre. Moriond (1650) has a relaxed feel and excellent value. Courchevel 1850 — now officially just "Courchevel" — is the summit of Alpine luxury: Palace hotels, designer boutiques, and the steepest road of the climb. The road to 1850 in winter is demanding — tight switchbacks, heavy snowfall, and peak-week traffic. Our drivers do this route daily throughout the season, on winter tyres, and know exactly when to leave to avoid the Saturday changeover congestion. A note on chalets: navigation in Courchevel can mislead even experienced drivers — the same chalet name can appear in multiple villages, and Google Maps sometimes routes to a hotel or shop instead. If you have access instructions from your chalet, share them with us at booking. It makes the arrival smoother for everyone.
