Chauffeur service

Chauffeur service to Megève: drop-off at the edge

Megève is 465 km from Nice on our grid, about 4 h 40 of driving. Tolls and fuel are included, and the fare is confirmed to you before departure. None of the four municipal underground car parks exceeds 2.10 metres, and Rochebrune drops to 1.90 metres below the ground floor.

Four structures, none above 2.10 metres

The official listings for the four municipal underground car parks give consistent figures, and low ones. Casino, 310 spaces, is capped at 2.00 metres. Village, 294 spaces, also 2.00 metres. Mont d’Arbois, 297 spaces, 2.10 metres. Rochebrune, 396 spaces, states 2.10 metres on the ground floor and 1.90 metres on the levels below.

For a long-distance transfer the conclusion is immediate. A van loaded with ski bags, with or without a roof box, enters none of those structures. Parking the vehicle is therefore planned above ground, and the drop-off happens before the ramp. This is not a resort affectation, it is concrete.

A pedestrian zone whose hours we do not publish

The centre is regulated. A municipal order has governed the pedestrian zone since 15 November 2017, an access regulation restated it in December 2022, and entry is filtered by retractable bollards and by passes issued by the commune. All of that is established.

What is not: the exact perimeter street by street, the opening and closing hours, and which categories hold a derogation. The two municipal documents that contain them are scans without a text layer. We do not copy hours we have not read: on this point the honest answer is a question for the town hall, not a sentence on a website.

What to settle before the drive

Three things are worth fixing before leaving the Riviera. The exact address, street name included, so we know whether it falls inside the filtered perimeter. The luggage volume, because it decides the vehicle and therefore which structure is reachable. The arrival time you want, bearing in mind this is a full day of driving rather than an airport transfer.

The default meeting point, the one we give when nothing else has been decided, is the Casino underground car park at the entrance to the pedestrian zone. For a shuttle connection, the Village car park beneath the bus station is the landmark instead.

Before you arrive

Your questions.

What headroom do the municipal underground car parks offer?

Four structures are documented: Casino and Village at 2.00 metres, Mont d'Arbois at 2.10 metres, and Rochebrune at 2.10 metres on the ground floor but 1.90 metres on the levels below. None of them exceeds 2.10 metres.

Can a driver enter the pedestrian zone to unload outside a hotel?

We do not claim so. The zone has been regulated by municipal order since 15 November 2017 and by an access regulation of December 2022, with retractable bollards and passes issued by the commune. Both municipal documents are scans without a text layer, so neither the perimeter nor the hours can be verified.

What is the clearest drop-off point to give a guest?

The Casino underground car park, described by its official listing as sitting at the entrance to the pedestrian zone, with 310 spaces. It is a public, named landmark a driver can give without ambiguity, and it depends on no access permit.

Where do the resort shuttles connect?

At the Village underground car park, built beneath the bus station, opposite the gendarmerie. Its official listing gives 294 spaces, six accessible bays and a lift, at 1,100 metres of altitude, open all year.

Why can this transfer not be paid for online?

Because the fare on this line is still an assumption in our grid, awaiting validation. The page therefore quotes a starting price with no payment button, and the firm amount is confirmed in writing before the journey.
