How to book a taxi in Cogne
Updated: July 12, 2026 · Province of AO
To book a taxi in Cogne, call the radio taxi at 349 841 1993. Taxis don't stop on the street: you book them or catch one at a taxi rank.
Cogne, the main gateway to the Gran Paradiso National Park, does not have a centralized radio taxi service like Valle d'Aosta's larger towns: service is provided by a handful of local drivers and NCC (chauffeur-hire) operators who must be contacted by phone. For those arriving by air via Turin Caselle, Milan Malpensa, or the regional Aosta airport, it's best to book the transfer in advance, especially during the busy summer season (park hikes) and winter season (cross-country skiing). In the village itself, and to reach hamlets such as Valnontey and Lillaz, local taxis are often the only option when the seasonal shuttles aren't running. The major national ride-hailing apps don't yet cover Cogne, so a phone number remains the most reliable way to book a ride.

| Uber — Not active in Cogne. Uber Black (via local NCC partners) launched in Valle d'Aosta in October 2025, but so far it has only been confirmed in the city of Aosta; no source indicates operational rides as far as Cogne, so it's better not to rely on the app and to contact local taxis/NCC operators directly. | Not available |

Taxi from the airport
Aeroporto Valle d'Aosta "Corrado Gex" (AOT) · ~28 km from the center
There is no fixed-rate taxi service for the airport-Cogne route: the regional Saint-Christophe/Aosta airport has very limited traffic (mainly charter flights and general aviation) and does not have an organized taxi rank, so it's best to book an NCC in advance or agree on the fare by phone before the ride. Most visitors arriving by air actually transit through Turin Caselle or Milan Malpensa and then continue to Cogne by rental car, by NCC booked in advance, or by bus to Aosta with a change for Cogne.
Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL)
Cogne does not have an actual ZTL (limited traffic zone), but during the summer, access to and parking in the Valnontey basin are regulated with paid parking and traffic restrictions to protect the Gran Paradiso National Park area: check locally for the seasonal restrictions in force.
Practical tips
- Book the taxi or NCC at least a few hours in advance, especially on summer weekends and during winter cross-country skiing races, because there are few local drivers and availability is limited.
- To reach Valnontey (the starting point for hikes in the Gran Paradiso Park and for spotting ibex and chamois) check first whether the seasonal shuttle, free or paid, is running: outside the season, a taxi remains the most practical option.
- For the Cascate di Lillaz waterfalls, also reachable on foot from the village center in about 30-40 minutes, a taxi is especially useful for the return trip or when traveling with children and photography/hiking gear.
- In winter, with snow and mountain roads, always agree on the pickup point and exact time in advance: phone reception in some hamlets can be unstable.
- Since there is no fixed taxi rank in the square, save the local taxi numbers in your phone before setting off on a hike, so you can call directly when you're ready to head back.
Frequently asked questions
How can I book a taxi in Cogne?
In Cogne there is no centralized radio taxi service like in larger towns: it's best to call one of the local drivers directly (for example Taxi Enrietti Alberto) or an NCC such as Aosta Valley Transfer, ideally a little in advance, especially on weekends and during the busy summer or winter season.
Are there taxis waiting in the main square, or do I always have to call?

Does Uber work in Cogne?
No. Uber Black arrived in Valle d'Aosta via local NCC partners in October 2025, but at the moment it is only active in the city of Aosta; there is no confirmation of operational rides as far as Cogne.
How much does a taxi from Aosta airport to Cogne cost?
There is no published fixed rate for this roughly 28 km mountain-road route: the price must be agreed by phone with the taxi or NCC operator at the time of booking, also depending on the number of passengers and bags.
How do you get to Valnontey or Lillaz if you don't drive?
