Carat Chauffeur — Travel Notebook
Monaco. Portofino. St. Moritz. Courchevel. Four addresses where the world gathers — and where, summer or winter, a Carat chauffeur is waiting for you.
Chapter One
The Riviera makes no noise. It simply shines — on the water, on the bodywork, on the pastel façades.
Monaco
Between the Monte-Carlo Casino and the mega-yachts moored at Fontvieille, Monaco packs more prestige per square metre than anywhere else on earth. Here a Ferrari and a Pagani pass at the lights with the indifference of two ordinary saloons.
Carat Chauffeur drives you to the Rock — for a Grand Prix, an evening at the Casino, or simply the pleasure of arriving.
Portofino
A pocket harbour where pastel façades are mirrored in turquoise water, where Dior sits between two fishermen's houses, and where every varnished wooden boat seems to be waiting to be photographed.
From Nice to the Italian Riviera, our chauffeurs take you to the gates of Portofino without costing you a minute of your elegance.
☀ — ❄
“A few hours' flight away, another world begins. Elegance changes climate, never standard.”

Chapter Two
Altitude has never stood in the way of refinement. It has simply dressed it in fur and cashmere.
St. Moritz
Here exceptional Ferraris run on the ice of the frozen lake, horse-drawn carriages readily stand in for taxis, and Badrutt's Palace has watched over the valley since 1896. St. Moritz has never needed sunshine to shine.
In the cobbled lanes, Bvlgari sits alongside the stone façades of castle hotels, while Paganis streak across the ice as though on a summer circuit. Even at night, when the peaks turn pink, the Engadine keeps its hushed, precise rhythm.
Every winter, Carat Chauffeur arranges your transfers to the Swiss Alps — from the airport to the doors of the Palace.
Courchevel 1850
At Courchevel even the ski lifts carry a couture house. Skiing becomes a catwalk, and fresh snow a white carpet for the most demanding silhouettes in Europe.
Black vans wait outside the lit chalets, Hublot and Bvlgari keep the windows glowing until nightfall, and at the altiport private jets land a few metres from the slopes — here, luxury never really comes down from the summit.
Altiport, chalets, boutiques: our chauffeurs know every bend of the road up to Courchevel 1850.
Carat Chauffeur
Wherever luxury calls you, in summer or winter, Carat Chauffeur takes you there to the same standard.
