How to book a taxi in Gressoney-Saint-Jean
Updated: July 12, 2026 · Province of AO
To book a taxi in Gressoney-Saint-Jean, call the radio taxi at 320 421 2167. Taxis don't stop on the street: you book them or catch one at a taxi rank.
Gressoney-Saint-Jean, a Walser village in the heart of the Valle del Lys at the foot of Monte Rosa, has no taxi rank or single-number radio taxi dispatch like Aosta: the service is provided by a handful of local NCC (chauffeur-driven hire) drivers and taxis, who should be contacted directly by phone a few hours in advance, especially on weekends during the high ski season. Many hotels and the tourist office at Villa Deslex can help book a ride. Since there is no railway in the valley, those arriving by train get off at Pont-Saint-Martin and continue with the V.I.T.A. bus line or a taxi/NCC for the last 25 km. For airport transfers, it is always best to book ahead: distances are considerable, and in winter mountain roads can lengthen travel times.

Taxi from the airport
Aeroporto Valle d'Aosta "Corrado Gex" (AOT) · ~73 km from the center
Corrado Gex is the nearest airport as the crow flies (73 km, source: comune.gressoneystjean.ao.it), but it only operates seasonal charter flights (e.g. Cagliari and Palermo in summer 2026), so in practice most visitors arrive via Torino Caselle Airport (86 km, about 1h30 by car), which is much better connected and served by dedicated shuttles and NCC operators to Valle d'Aosta. There is no fixed regulated fare for NCC transfers from the airport: the price is agreed with the operator at the time of booking. In winter (6 December 2025 - 12 April 2026), Transfer Vallée also runs a shared shuttle from Torino Caselle to Valle d'Aosta starting at €25.00.
Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL)
The historic center of Gressoney-Saint-Jean is a Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL) active 24 hours a day, every day, under the regulations approved by municipal resolution no. 132 of 28/11/2023. Permits (for residents, owners of properties/garages within the zone, parents of students, businesses based in the ZTL, and documented loading/unloading operations) can be requested online or by appointment at the municipal office; issuing the permit sticker costs a fee of €16.00 in stamp duty, with processing times of up to 30 days.
Practical tips
- There is no single radio taxi dispatch: save 2-3 local NCC/taxi phone numbers (e.g. Gressoney Transfer, Taxi Riky) in your contacts and book in advance, especially on weekends during the high ski season (December-April).
- The nearest railway station is Pont-Saint-Martin (on the Torino-Aosta line), about 25 km and 30-40 minutes by car away: many visitors prefer a direct NCC transfer rather than waiting for the connecting V.I.T.A. bus.
- The historic center is a ZTL active 24 hours a day: if your accommodation is inside the area, ask about an access permit; otherwise have passengers picked up or dropped off at the edge of the zone, near the central car parks.
- To reach Castel Savoia (in Belvedere, about 2.5 km from the center, with a final 15-minute walk through the park) or the Weissmatten ski lifts in snow or rain, a short taxi ride is convenient.
- In winter, with snow-covered mountain roads, book your NCC well in advance for transfers to/from Torino Caselle Airport (86 km, about 1h30-1h45 journey).
