 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi all
We've booked flights and accommodation through Sunweb but need to organise transfers. Ben's Buses looks good value/good timings. Are they reliable? They stop at Terraces D'Eos and it looks like a 20 minute zig zag walk to D'Helios, with hefty luggage. Does anyone know if there's a short cut? Any tips/ ideas appreciated.
Thank you!

I've not used them, but Ben's Buses generally get good review and seem to fulfil their offering ok.
Should be a local free in village bus that runs around the slightly more outlying accommodation in Flaine to get from one to the other in your plan.
I know it stops at Eos and routes around the nearby accommodation to eventually drop at the lifts for skier access and runs throughout the day.

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

Another vote for Ben’s Bus. They really do try but like every other company if the weather is bad it can go wrong, which is the reason behind most bad reviews.

I’ve used them, provided good service as described. Booked again for January. Think it’s worth paying the extra few £ for flexi booking which covers cancellations, flight changes and delays.

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

As an alternate suggestion - depending on how many of you are travelling a private transfer might be comparable (particularly for relatively short transfers like Flaine) - we used 'Action Transfers' for Avoriaz for a family of 4. The website is a bit clunky as I think they are mainly used by tour operators (I know Heidi use them) but prices were really good as they just charge a set price irrespective of number of passengers... Also a good option if you are travelling mid-week as the busses are sometimes weekend only
