@nattib, there will be a bus to Grenoble station from the airport, then a bus from there to Chamrousse. Bit more of a faff than Ben's Bus but it won't be £400.
Alternative resorts easily accessed and some have Ben's Bus still running. Valloire/Valmeinier, Serre Chevalier, Alpd D'Huez and Les Deux-Alpes.

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

@nattib, have a look at Rome2rio website, I’ve been using it to look at options for this season, I’m traveling solo and want to keep costs down, it gives Train, bus and car options , bus transfer times may be more than Ben’s bus, but in many cases it’s very good value.

We went Lyon->Chamrousse last year using two legs of buses each way, changing at Grenoble: one BlaBla then one Transalitude. I was uncomfortable with the risk that something would go wrong, but it all ran like clockwork, and the 90 minutes changeover time we'd allowed ourselves was more than enough. The children seemed to enjoy the multiple modes of transport, probably helped by both transfer days being exceptionally sunny and good weather for waiting around outside cafes/bars.
The total cost for all four of us was e80 for BlaBla and e126 for the Transaltitude. Would I do it again... not sure. I'd be interested in knowing whether snowheads would say that I was lucky, or whether the French bus system is consistently that good?

@garyyb, since the - hopefully temporary - demise of regular, cheapish, shared transfers from Chamonix to Geneva we've been mostly using scheduled buses, and they've been totally reliable. Probably done around 8 return trips since flights restarted.

FAQ
. I have looked at a few other companies and I am seeing quotes for over £400 (for us two). I know much has happened over the last 2 years but are transfers from Grenoble airport this expensive now 
? We don't mind travelling in a coach with others if it brings the cost down.
