 Poster: A snowHead

Hi... Just looking at Geneva Morzine transport cos my usual transport company can't do the dates I want. I have come across alpybus who offer really good prices compared to others .... Anyone used them and if so was it a good or bad experience

Lots of horror stories from a few years ago.
I think they improved last season (a bit).
They have been know to cancel at 24hrs notice (It's in their T's & C's). I think they cancel if it's not worth their while to run a transfer and only have very limited numbers booked on.
Be ready and at collection point 45 min before pick up time (Check T's & C's for that one).
It's 'shared' so when you book your return from Morzine, I suggest getting picked up min 4.5hrs before your flight departure time (You might be going to 6 or 7 other collection point's around Morzine/Les Gets on your way back to GVA.
I'd spend my money with ski-lifts, skidy, action transfers, or powdercab
If your a big party check out 'Morzine and Back' transfers who have 14/15 seater mini buses.
Don't go with Eazybus as they were worse than useless last winter.

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

@shieldsy, we have had friends staying last winter who all used Alpybus without any problems. Always made sure that they were ready on time and that they got confirmations the day before. Otherwise we have used Skiidy and Ski Lifts successfully too.

I've used Lewis before when he worked for Jolly Holidays for a to/from Morzine, looks like he's set up on his own under this company http://morzinelink.com/
https://www.skiidygonzales.com/ - has been around and I've know others that worked for them but not used them personally.

I read a few of the dodgy reviews but also a lot of decent ones as well so wanted a bit more feedback before I booked (or not...)it's €106 return for two of us as opposed to around €150 with others so a great price if reliable and not messed about.... I always go on 3/4 days ski trips and take the Geneva Liverpool 20.50 flight home so I get picked up at the resort around 5pm and have a full last days skiing so I won't be happy with a txt saying "pick you up much earlier" .... Maybe I pay the crazy expensive €150 and just sulk my way to and from Morzine lol

Lewis is who I try and use all the time. 6 of us going in early Jan and its €50 each which is great but he isn't available for my Dec trip ... He is the same price as most but reliable and a nice guy. He can get me on another bus but it's €75 each and as its me and my wife it's a €150 round trip, and with the £ being as is every € counts so considered saving €40 using alpybus but also don't need any hassle just to save €40 either ......

I say 4.5 hrs as Alpybus use 15/16 seater mini buses so the chance of more pick up's en-route as opposed to a 8 passenger renault traffic. (Although you might be the last pick up so it could work out ok).
+1 for Lewis at Morzine Link (He's a good lad)
Skiidy and Ski-lifts are the big operators, lots of vans, full office back up and are generally very professional.

That's my concern I didn't want to use alpybus but thought they wouldn't get any business if really crap but now decided to stay clear just in case .... A massive thanks to everyone for all your input

Don't use - an absolute disaster. They just didn't show up to take me to the airport. Luckily I had a friend who was able to drive me - when I asked for compensation and a refund they just kept putting me off. I've heard rumours that this happens with them a lot. NEVER use this company.

Either 106 or 150 return for 2 people is an absolute bargain for a 122km round trip anywhere. Given the taxes, social charges, wages, cost of fuel in France I am absolutely dumbfounded. Presume its a shared transfer? Must be a big coach on either of those prices?

We've used Alpybus for over a dozen return journeys to Val Thorens over the last four seasons and have had no problems whatsoever.

Old thread I know but we used them in 2022 I think it was, no issues at all to be honest other than dropping us off maybe half a km from where we realised our accomodation was. They also put us on an earlier transfer at Geneva which was good.
