82 euros per head in 2020, now 92 euros per head - not too horrendous a rate of inflation. Flights have gone up at least as much, I'd have said.

We're going out to Samoens on the 14th... After checking transfer prices - £400+ like yours, but for 2 people - plus £250 each for flights, plus £55 airport parking, we decided to drive. Including a hotel on the way out and one on the way back it works out about £150 cheaper each. And we have a car in resort, which is probably more useful in Samoens than Flaine! Then there's the lack of airport herding, which is worth a few quid as well.

True! Except it’s the same price say if it was only the two/three of us going. So we’re lucky we hve five to split the cost this time round!

@tanvir786, a shared transfer is one where you will have other people you don't know in your bus, and you may have to wait for them to arrive. You have a private transfer, so just your group in the bus.
Train and then taxi / bus would be cheaper....but take ages

Oh! I read their message wrong, thought they were asking me if it's a shared/private transfer. My bad lol
But no, I'm selecting a shared transfer on the website, not a private transfer, I think they have up to eight people in a single vehicle. My point was just it's gone pretty expensive regardless of how many people are booking the transfer, whether it be a couple or a few person group.

@tanvir786, I don't understand your comment. A shared transfer is the same price per person no matter how many people.

@tanvir786, you have another thread where you seem to be looking for 2/3 people to share your shared transfer. But if it's a shared transfer the company might already have booked the other seats - and if other people join, that wouldn't reduce your cost. Running a van with only 5 of 8 seats booked is a loss to the company, but rather good for you, as your group have it all to yourselves - a private transfer for the cost of a shared one...... some confusion somewhere.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Looking at Go Massif website they are now offering shared transfers (travelling with strangers) at about 65Euros each way between Geneva and Grand Massif resorts, pre-Covid they were about 48Euros each way IIRC.

I did a post on this earlier this year. I got the train from Geneva Airport to Cluses (circa £20 fare one way PP) and then got a taxi to Flaine 1600 which was €70. There is a bus from Cluses up to resort but it isn’t frequent.

And, they have always been excellent when I've used them.

FAQ
Guess its the lack of customers for the years in between and fuel prices...but wow, these transfers are costing us more than our flights.
