The driver will give you all the information you need to know about your upcoming journey, e.g. if there is a need to wait for more passengers arriving from different flights, etc.
If there is a short delay while waiting for other passengers and you would like to grab a bite or do some shopping, please ask your driver if it is okay to do so. There is a reasonable possibility that the delay is just a few minutes, in which case it is better to just stay put.

About Val-d'Isère
Val d'Isère is a commune of the Tarentaise Valley, and one of the highest ski resorts in Europe.
The resort starts at 1,850m (6,000 feet) altitude, but the skiing is above that altitude, with top slopes found at an altitude of nearly 3,400m (11,154 ft), beneath the summit of the Pointe du Montet.
Val d'Isère has not always been an attractive, sophisticated winter town.
Developed around a fine 17th-century church, the town began its rejuvenation after the 1992 Albertville Winter Olympics, when Val d'Isère's Face de Bellevarde hosted the men's downhill, Super G and giant slalom events. Since then, Val d'Isère hosts World Cup alpine events regularly.
Val d'Isère has an interesting policy of leaving the streets covered in snow, which makes the town even more charming & reduces the salt pollution of the Isère river.
In Val d'Isère, accommodation is primarily found in lovely wooden chalets, which are located at an ideal distance from the town's centre - far enough to ensure peaceful nights, yet within 5-10 minutes walking distance.
In 2017, the town took up an ambitious £170 million (€193 million), 5-years, building project to redevelop the centre of the resort. This project includes two new hotels and a new piste with an underground moving walkway linking the centre of town with the lifts.
A very popular resort in the Alps, Val d'Isère pleases all skiers, regardless of their skiing level. Besides skiing, this lively little town offers a great selection of fine dining and a wide range of both winter & summer activities.
Moreover, Val d'Isère has been for a long time a favourite ski resort for British skiers, so there is no language barrier. From waiters to ski instructors, everyone speaks English!
Skiing in Val d'Isère
Together with neighbouring Tignes, Val d'Isère forms the "Espace Killy" ski domain, which offers 300 km (186 miles) of slopes, serviced by 80 lifts.
Espace Killy is perfect for beginners, with 22 green runs & 61 blues. But if you are an experienced skier, this ski area might also be ideal for you, with 46 red slopes, 25 challenging blacks, plus 44 km of off-piste skiing.
Named in the honour of the famous skier Jean-Claude Killy, the ski domain has one interesting particularity. The pistes of Val d'Isère and Tignes are naturally linked, so there is no need for long connecting trails or lifts, as it happens in other ski domains.
Moreover, Espace Killy has one of the best and most modern lift systems in the world, the vast majority of the lifts being high speed.
As for Val d'Isère itself, all three ski areas, Bellvarde, Solaise and Le Fornet, have wide cruising blue runs higher up and more challenging runs for strong skiers lower down.
Beginners will be pleased to find out that there are easy runs at the top of Solaise and Bellevarde. Moreover, there is a great choice of ski schools that offer both private and group lessons, taught by English speaking instructors.
Val d'Isère gets very reliable snow every year, so it is also the home of a number of ski and snowboard events each year, such as the Critérium de la Première Neige, a Federation Internationale de Ski (FIS) competition in mid-December that has been running since 1955.
