 Poster: A snowHead
|
I decided to meet family in Les Arcs 1800 week of 5-9 April. They are travelling on an arranged ski holiday from the UK, I am flying into Geneva separately and am tagging onto their accommodation (arranged with the travel company). But the bus transfer is causing an issue. I can’t seem to find a shared ride and a solo transfer is 475 euros.
Anyone got any tips?

@JenGD, Altibus runs from Geneva to Bourg St Maurice 4 times on 5 Apr 21 (10.00, 12.15, 15.30 and 17.30). Catch the funincular up to Arcs 1600 and then the free shuttle bus round to Arcs 18.00. Not easy but probably the cheapest option. https://www.altibus.com/pages/aeroports.aspx

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

@JenGD, have a look at 1st-lifts.com Tarentaise Transfers Notice Board on Facebook - shared lifts, cheap lifts, filling places on larger buses etc. Friends and fellow owners in the Tarantaise seem to use it (successfully!) quite a bit.

The cheapest option is to simply catch the train from Geneva airport to bourg st Maurice. 34 euros each way unless you are over 60 at which point it drops to 24.
Then get the funicular to 1600 and the navette around to 1800.

Thanks. So I need to allow an extra 15 minutes or so for that ?

I'd allow a little more - the journey isn't long but when I caught it recently on a Sunday it only ran three times an hour. Might be a bit more frequent midweek.
