Turin Airport (Caselle) Transfers

Turin is the practical gateway to two mountain areas. In the Via Lattea and the surrounding Piedmont valleys: Sestriere, Sauze d'Oulx, Bardonecchia, Claviere, Cesana, Pragelato and, further south, Limone Piemonte. In the Aosta Valley: Courmayeur, La Thuile, Cervinia, Champoluc and Alagna. Montgenèvre, just across the French border, is reached on the same road as Claviere. All are booked as direct point-to-point runs from the terminal to your hotel, chalet or apartment.

Declare the number of ski bags, board bags and boot bags when you book. That figure decides which vehicle is assigned, and getting it right is the difference between smooth loading and a problem in the car park. Where a carriage charge applies it appears in your quote before you confirm. Accessibility needs and unusual items — golf bags, bicycles, musical instruments — can generally be arranged when flagged in advance; ask before booking rather than on arrival.

Italian mountain roads require winter tyres or snow chains through the winter season, and the exact dates are set by the road authorities of Piedmont and the Aosta Valley. Drivers who work the Via Lattea and Aosta Valley roads regularly know when conditions call for chains and build the extra time into the journey rather than rushing it.

Saturday is the traditional changeover day in the Alps, and it is the one to plan around. British charter flights land in waves, the resort roads carry the whole week's arrivals and departures at once, and fresh snowfall on the mountain roads adds time on top. Leaving the resort earlier than feels necessary is the single most useful thing you can do for a Saturday departure.

Your driver waits inside the arrivals hall, past baggage reclaim, holding a sign with the lead passenger's name — not at the kerbside rank. The driver's name and mobile number are sent to you before the day of travel. If you are travelling with skis or snowboards, note that the oversized baggage belt is separate from the standard carousel and often adds a few minutes: tell us at booking how many oversized items you have, so the driver plans the waiting time around that.
