Airport Transfer Guides

How do I get from Malpensa Airport (MXP) to Courchevel and back?

November 14, 20267 min read

In summary: Book a round-trip chauffeur transfer with Blacklux from Milan Malpensa Airport to your hotel or chalet in Courchevel. Give the team your flight numbers, village name and luggage details, including any ski bags. For the return, agree on a pickup time that accounts for the mountain roads and gets you to Malpensa when your airline recommends.

Start with your address in Courchevel

A booking that says “Courchevel” still leaves an important detail open. A hotel in Courchevel 1850 and a chalet in Le Praz have different drop-off points. Use the village name and street address from your accommodation confirmation. If your chalet host asks you to collect the keys at a separate reception office, tell Blacklux where you need to stop first and where the journey should end.

On the Blacklux booking form, select Round trip and enter the dates for both journeys. Before choosing a vehicle class, count what will actually go in the car. Two passengers with two cabin bags have different needs from two skiers with suitcases, boot bags and a rigid ski case. If you are bringing a long case, send its dimensions and ask the team to confirm it will fit with the rest of your luggage.

How Blacklux looks after your transfer

Blacklux is a Zurich-based private chauffeur company. Its operations team plans journeys, coordinates pickups and stays in contact with the chauffeur during the service. Before a chauffeur takes a first assignment, Blacklux checks their licence and insurance. The company also uses passenger feedback to review their work after the journey. www.blacklux-transfer.com

For a Malpensa arrival, the most useful details you can give Blacklux are your flight number and a mobile number for someone on board. The team monitors the flight and can coordinate with the chauffeur if your arrival time changes. If a travel assistant or chalet host made the booking, make sure the chauffeur has the lead passenger’s name and phone number for the meeting at the airport. www.blacklux-transfer.com

After collecting your bags and clearing customs, follow the meeting instructions in your confirmation. Your chauffeur will be holding a tablet displaying your name or company logo and will help you take your luggage to the vehicle. Blacklux publishes an included waiting allowance of 60 minutes at the airport. If your flight has landed but your skis are still at the oversized baggage desk, contact the team while you are waiting. Flight tracking tells them when the aircraft arrives. Only you can tell them that your equipment is still missing. www.blacklux-transfer.com

What the transfer quote covers

Blacklux includes motorway tolls and airport parking in its published airport transfer price. Toll tunnels are a separate expense, payable on the spot. When reviewing a quote for Courchevel, ask which crossing is planned on each date and whether a tunnel charge applies. This gives you a clearer idea of what you will pay over the full round trip. www.blacklux-transfer.com

For a group arriving on different flights, Blacklux also handles tailored enquiries. Send the team each flight number, the number of people arriving on it and the bags they will bring. Ask for the price and meeting arrangements for a shared departure or separate cars. That way, the first passengers to land can decide whether they want to wait at Malpensa or travel straight to the chalet. www.blacklux-transfer.com

An afternoon in Courchevel, from Saint-Bon to Le Praz

For a look at Courchevel before the ski resort, start in Saint-Bon. The old village lanes lead to its Baroque church. If you feel like walking farther, the tourist office’s Chemin du Paradis route links Saint-Bon with Le Praz and passes the Olympic ski jumps. Check the trail conditions before setting out, particularly when there is snow. courchevel.com

For a shorter outing, head directly to Lac du Praz. The Olympic ski jumping hill rises above the lake, so you can see the scale of the jump from the water’s edge. If some of your party are skiing and others have the afternoon free, the lake makes an easy landmark to agree on before you go your separate ways. courchevel.com

What to order after a day on the mountain

For a taste of Savoyard cooking, order tartiflette. Potatoes, onions and lardons are baked under Reblochon cheese. The detail to look for when the dish reaches the table is the browned top. In the traditional recipe, the cheese goes into the oven rind-side up, with the softer centre melting into the potatoes below. www.reblochon.fr

If you see crozotto on a menu, the name offers a clue to how it is made. Small squares of Savoyard pasta called crozets cook in stock in the manner of a risotto. One regional recipe finishes them with Reblochon and adds thyme and preserved tomatoes. It is another way to try the same local cheese if someone at the table has already ordered tartiflette. www.reblochon.fr

Planning the return from Courchevel to Malpensa

Start with the time your airline recommends arriving at MXP. Give Blacklux your departure flight number, the address where your bags will be and the entrance where the chauffeur can meet you. Ask the team to work back from the airport arrival time, allowing for the expected traffic and mountain road conditions on your departure date. The time your outward journey took is only a rough guide for the return. www.blacklux-transfer.com

If you plan to ski on departure day, settle three details before you leave the chalet that morning. Decide where you will change, when you will return the rental equipment and where you will collect your luggage after checkout. If the hotel stores your bags at reception, use that entrance as your pickup point. Blacklux includes 15 minutes of waiting at hotels and private addresses, so arrange to have everyone and everything there before the car is due. www.blacklux-transfer.com

Frequently asked questions

Can I book the transfer for someone else?

Yes. A host, assistant or family member can book and pay for the journey. Enter the travelling passenger’s name and phone number so they can recognise the name on the chauffeur’s tablet and receive any pickup instructions directly. www.blacklux-transfer.com

Can I request a child seat for both journeys?

Yes. Blacklux accepts requests for child seats and boosters at booking at no extra charge. Give each child’s age and specify that the seat is needed both from Malpensa to Courchevel and on the return to the airport. www.blacklux-transfer.com

What if my airline changes my return flight?

Use the existing-booking support option on the Blacklux contact page. Include your booking reference, the revised flight number and the new departure time. Ask the team to confirm your updated pickup time before you change your checkout or equipment-return arrangements. www.blacklux-transfer.com

Can the chauffeur stop for our chalet keys before dropping us off?

You can add a stop when arranging the journey. Enter the key collection office as the stop and the chalet as the final destination, then review the quoted itinerary. For an office with limited opening hours, share those hours with Blacklux before confirming the booking. www.blacklux-transfer.com
