 Poster: A snowHead

Hello, looking to start organising Jan 2023 trip and found flight to Chambery but I am struggling to find a shared bus service to Meribel village to keep price down (usually go Geneva to Avoriaz). Any recommendations?? Hate Chambery airport, but it is closer to resort and Jet2 flights are perfect times as is the price! Thanks

Hi did more internet/forum searches and Altibus for 4 of us might not be that cheaper than hiring a car or getting a taxi

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

steel1203,
Train to Moutiers (direct, 75 minutes) then Altibus from there could work.
It's currently €37 each way on the train, for up to 4 people on 1 ticket (ie less than €10 pp). We used that ticket (for 2 of us) last week. Altibus would then cost €11 pp each way.

Oops!  It's a 20 minute bus ride from the airport to Chambery Challes Les Eaux station... (or 10 minutes by taxi).

Chambery airport is unreliable because it doesn't take much in the way of bad weather/visibility for flights to be diverted. If possible, change to Geneva. If determined to go to Chambery, rent a car. Which, as you've discovered, might be a reasonable choice, with 4 people. I'd probably rent a car from Geneva too, personally, and it'd have winter tyres. But you need to think about parking at Meribel, and probably pay.

Is there now a bus linking the airport to the station? There never used to be which discouraged me from flying to Chambery.

There is free parking in Meribel Village.
