 Poster: A snowHead
|
I am an independent traveller going to VdI via Geneva Airport. I know there is a good bus connection to the resort but it takes about 6 hours to get there as it stops often including stops in Tignes.
My plane lands around 11.30am on a Saturday at the charter terminal and I thought I might try to get on one of the tour ops' buses instead. Will they take paying fares (provided there is room)?
Cheers.

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

TOs are not supposed to, but if you find a younger tour-rep and bribe them with a handful of Euros, then many are willing to oblige with a free seat on the transfer bus.
Alternatively, go to Altibus.com and take a scheduled coach. It is about €95 return and a 4-hour oneway journey.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Unless things have changed then i'd say you stand a good chance of getting on a TO transfer. We used to charge 50 euro for a transfer and did it all the time. Geneva not the best place for picking up a Val Disere bus, but there will be some. If it was Lyon then you'd have no issues. Just find the transport manager and ask them. Ski World, Inghams, Neilson and Crystal used to do this all the time. The bus you talk about that takes 6 hours is a nice scenic journey if not !!

I took the Altibus last season...the outbound leg is a real pain,the return is so much quicker as it does not go via Tignes.

one more thing, probably should have mentioned that I would like to get off at La Daille.....would the TO bus make an unscheduled stop or do I need to go with them right up to their chalet?

On a similar note - could anyone offer advice on getting a train from Lyon and Geneva to Val d'Isere (our group are flying into two different airports!). Any ideas on costs, length of the journey, etc. would be great! I have heard there is a thing called the ski train???

can you book transfers seperatly from TO's before you go?
I would imagine it would be difficult to get a flight which is easily connectable to the transfer though.
