Scheduled/Shuttle Coach Airport Transfers

Affordable Geneva or Lyon Airport to Les Arcs Coach Transfers

Enjoy an economical and convenient journey to Les Arcs with scheduled coach transfers from Geneva and Lyon Airports. Travelling alongside other passengers heading to the Paradiski ski area helps keep fares affordable without the expense of a private airport transfer.

Geneva transfers operate seven days a week during the winter ski season, while Lyon services run from Thursday to Monday. Departures are arranged around popular flight arrival times, providing an organised way to reach the French Alps.

The journey from Geneva Airport typically takes approximately 3 hours 30 minutes to 3 hours 45 minutes, while Lyon Airport is around 3 hours 20 minutes away, depending on traffic and winter road conditions.

Convenient Fixed-Point Stops Across Les Arcs

Les Arcs is made up of four main resort areas, each offering its own atmosphere, accommodation and access to the Paradiski ski area.

Scheduled shared transfers cover all four resort levels at the same fixed fare, making it easier to plan your journey regardless of where you're staying.

The main resort areas include:

• Arc 1600: A quieter, family-friendly resort area with convenient ski access and connections to Bourg-Saint-Maurice.
• Arc 1800: A lively resort centre with a wide choice of apartments, restaurants, shops and après-ski venues.
• Arc 1950: A pedestrian-friendly village with attractive architecture, premium accommodation and convenient access to the slopes.
• Arc 2000: A high-altitude resort area with easy access to the ski lifts and challenging terrain around the Aiguille Rouge.

Transfers operate using designated collection and drop-off points rather than individual accommodation addresses.

Please check the available stops on the resort map when booking and choose the location closest to your chalet, hotel or apartment. Passengers will need to arrange their own onward journey from the selected stop to their accommodation.

Regular Scheduled Departures and Experienced Alpine Drivers

Scheduled coach transfers provide a practical and affordable option for solo travellers, couples, families and groups travelling to Les Arcs.

Passengers share their journey with others arriving on similar-timed flights, with departures organised around popular airport arrival times.

All transfers are operated by experienced alpine drivers familiar with mountain roads and challenging winter conditions.

Vehicles are prepared for alpine travel, with luggage, skis and snowboards carried at no additional charge.

As services operate according to a published timetable, passengers may need to wait while other travellers arrive before departure.

Representatives meet passengers at the designated airport desk near the arrivals exit before directing them towards their scheduled vehicle.
