 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi,
We are getting the snow train to Moutiers arriving on Saturday 4th April 2009 and are looking for a way to get to Val Thorens? I rang the altibus company but there isn't a bus until 12.15pm when the train arrives at 8am, bit of a long wait, and doesn't seem very fair when there is a bus at 8am every day except Saturdays (which is the day most people arrive)! Does anyone know of any other means of transportation - buses, cheapish taxis, up the mountain? Or is there a transfer share we could do? We didn't really want to pay out for a minibus as it's already costing a lot with the Euro dropping so much. Any ideas very much appreciated. Thanks.

skili2, Welcome to Snowheads.There is a taxi rank right outside Moutiers station, but I'm afraid I've no idea how much it would cost you. Distance to VT is about 35kms. You could find taxis on Pages Jaunes and give them a call for a quote.

skili2, welcome to 
I've done this trip a number of times but have arrived around 6.30am so getting the coach hasn't been a problem when I've done it. When in a group we've elected to get a taxi for 4-5 ppl and split the cost, which is about 100euro. That's probably your best bet. Sorry it's not the news you wanted.

Hm, tx for your help, I just got quoted €27 per person one-way in a taxi so may have to go with that option if nothing else comes up.

skili2, I think it was around €120 at the end of last season (one way). That between 5 of us.

skili2, taxi down from VT to Moutiers was €90 a few weeks ago, so i'd imagine about the same on the way up. If there are a few of you to divide the cost its perfect....

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

you might be able to hitch a lift on a tour operator coach as im sure they will be picking people up off the train. By the way there is a bus at 7.45 so are you sure the train wont arrive earlier?
We just done this trip catching the day train out and the night train back....... well the day train was great but never again on the night train, what a nightmare!
