    Our travel policy is based upon ONE standard full size suitcase and ONE standard hand luggage per person (or one boot bag).

Before you travel

    What luggage entitlement will I have?

    We consider ski equipment as ‘additional luggage‘ or ‘extra items. We carry ski equipment such as ski bags/snowboard bags and ski boot bags free of charge. The standard terms allow 1 standard size suitcase per person + small hand luggage bag that can easily be retained in the seating area +:

    a maximum of 4 standard single ski bags, + 4 boot bags
    or two double ski bags + 4 boot bags
    or 2 standard snowboard bags + 2 single ski bags + 2 ski boot bags

    Please note that when significant amounts of additional luggage is carried, i.e ski/snowboard equipment, such baggage maybe carried on the exterior of the vehicle on a designated rack or roof mounted stowage.

    Where will I meet the driver when I arrive?

    The SlopeStyle Chauffeur will meet you at the airport arrivals area and be easily identifiable by either a SlopeStyle Transfers name board or an iPad with the client’s name indicated on the screen. For hotel pick-ups the chauffeur will meet you at the hotel reception area. In all cases the chauffeur will be contactable by mobile telephone and sms text message.

    What happens if I can’t locate my driver?

    If you cannot locate your chauffeur then we recommend you call the mobile telephone number we provide you with, as indicated on your transfer confirmation. We also suggest that 30 minutes after the scheduled pick-up time if you have not located the driver then go to the airport information/visitor desk. In most cases our chauffeur will attempt to meet you at the airport information/visitor desk if they have not managed to locate you at the arrivals area. The chauffeur will attempt to contact you by sms text message and telephone voice call to ensure a timely rendezvous.

    My group size has changed, can I still be transferred?

    Yes, provided that we are informed prior to the pick-up as we have to amend the transfers personnel manifest list, and as long as the total passengers do not exceed 6 persons.

    How long will the transfer take?

    The transfer times differ from airport to destination, please see our route guides . the average transfer time for Geneva or Lyon airports to the Savoie ski resorts is approximately 2hrs 45mins.  However transfer times can differ considerably depending on weather conditions and traffic density/congestion and of course peak season or national vacation periods such as school holidays, Christmas (Noel) and New Year periods.
