 Poster: A snowHead
|
Can anyone shed some light on the best and cheapest way to get to Tignes from Geneva Aiport on boxing day, which falls on a Monday this year. I understand that BensBus only operate at weekends and I can find very little information online about any other direct bus links (Alpskibus is mentioned but their website looks to be down). Are there any other value operators, or is it possible to train to Bourg and get a bus up from there?
Quotes for car hire and private transfers are extortionate and way beyond my budget.

Try altibus.com Not super cheap, by a long way, but probably your best bet.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I've used CoolBus, again not cheap but very good service.

I use Unibus from Geneva to Saint Gervais, they do go else where. 20 euro each way and only takes 1 hour 10 mins.

I've used Loyet (they also trade as "Simply Transfers"). They were good; cheap, punctual and reliable.

I don't think that is correct. Certainly as far as the Val d'Isere/Geneva service goes, I have used it twice and it is entirely separate from Altibus, which I have used many times. However BB don't operate weekends. As others have said, the main bus operator between the EK resorts and GVA is Altibus.

That's not what their website says....."Ben’s Bus operates Geneva Airport to Tignes shared ski transfers on Saturdays & Sundays throughout the 2016 / 2017 ski season"
