Been to the Alps & back. The transfer to and from Chambery airport was with 'a local english guy'. Commercial transfer companies exist but cost a lot. Most ski resorts have a 'local englishman' who lives in the resort for many weeks as they are addicted to ski-ing and take all their annual leave in the winter months. These guys usually drive to the Alps from the UK and subsidise their addiction by doing odd jobs - they clean appartments, they mend stuff, they guide newcomers through the hiring of boots and issuing of passes and finally they do the occasional airport transfer.
So the answer is ask the company you book with if there's a 'local english guy' who can help you with the transfer. Even big companies use little people to do odd jobs.
