Mountain Express
Mountain Express provides competitively priced Private Airport Transfers linking Geneva Airport, Chambery Airport, Lyon Airport, Grenoble Airport, Moutiers Station and surrounding cities to the Alpine resorts of the French Rhone Alpes. We provide a year round service for private Ski Transfers, Road Cycling Transfers, Mountain Bike Transfers and Alpine Holiday Transfers.
Our winter operation is based in the Three Valleys in Les Menuires and Brides-les-Bains not far from Moutiers, the gateway to the Tarentaise, so we are perfectly placed to provide Taxi Transfers, Minibus Transfers and Coach Transfers to the resorts of Valmorel, St Martin de Belleville, Les Menuires, Val Thorens, Meribel, La Tania, Courchevel, La Plagne, Les Arcs, La Rosiere, Tignes and Val D’Isere and our affiliation with other reputable transfer companies means we can also offer competitive services to the Portes du Soleil, Grand Massif, Massif des Aravis, Espace Diamant & Mont Blanc areas.
During the summer we also operate out of Aix-Les-Bains not far from from Chambery Airport and therefore within easy reach of Geneva, Lyon and Grenoble airports so we are perfectly placed to provide airport transfers to Le Bourg D'Oisans and Alpe D'Huez, the road cycling and mountain bike Meccas of the Alps whilst our Three Valleys office continues to take care of our regular winter service area during the summer months.
Mountain Express SAS is an English owned, French registered company fully insured and licenced by the French Ministry of Transport and registered with the Swiss authorities to operate in Switzerland, most specifically to include the canton of Geneva.
Why use us?
With over 26 years experience in the holiday industry and 37 years experience in the transport industry we know how to deliver the service you deserve. We have been careful not to over expand thus ensuring we are big enough to better the best of the rest but small enough to genuinely care about each and every client. We provide friendly, professional, high quality, well priced Private Airport Transfers in clean, comfortable, well maintained, well equipped vehicles driven by courteous and experienced drivers.
Our Vehicles
Our fleet consists of 12 Ford Tourneo Custom 8 passenger long wheelbase 4x4 minibuses, 4 VW T6 Caravelle 8 passenger long wheelbase 4x4 minibuses, 1 Mercedes V-Class Executive 6 passenger 4x4 people carrier and 1 Toyota Rav4 4x4 SUV. All 18 vehicles have 4 wheel drive with automatic tiptronic gearboxes to provide a super smooth sure-footed ride, privacy glass, multi-zone passenger controlled air-conditioning and direct bluetooth client media interface so we can confidently claim to have the best fleet in the Alps in terms of specification being offered at a sensible price. We only schedule the 14 of the Ford and Caravelle vehicles so we always have 2 spare for emergencies and in addition to that we have a VW T5 Caravelle 8 passenger long wheel base 4x4 minibus, and a Land Rover Discovery HSE 4x4 SUV permanently on stand-by at base so we have a back-up should it ever be required. We have also forged strong relationships with tried and trusted local suppliers in order to provide transfers in well equipped cars and also larger vehicles for group bookings at rates that you could not achieve yourself by going direct. All vehicles have space for luggage and skis/boards for all the passengers and we also have trailers for Bike Boxes and other bulky sports equipment if required which we transport free of charge.
Our Drivers
We are very proud to state that an unusually large number of our drivers return each winter which is unprecedented in this industry and this assures you that they know what they are doing and that we look after them well, so they will look after you well! Meanwhile the new drivers joining us to cater for expansion are, like our returning drivers, all experienced professional drivers. All our drivers are carefully selected for their friendly, courteous and professional approach and as part of their selection process they must pass a driving assessment carried out by a military trained diplomatic chauffeur and driving instructor and they are all trained in advanced Alpine Driving techniques and each season all drivers must also pass the obligatory medical examination required by law in France to drive fare paying passengers in this strictly legislated industry.
With all the above in mind we are in no doubt that our fleet and drivers and our dedication to providing a high quality service at a fair price places us comfortably head and shoulders above the competition.
