Transfer options for La Plagne

Discover the top La Plagne airport shuttle options

Updated

La Plagne is only a 2h30 drive from Geneva Airport. You could hire a car, but with so many transfer companies running shuttles to the resort, why not take it easy and let someone else do the work?

With an airport transfer:   

  • you’ll often be dropped right at your door
  • you’ll save money over the cost of a hire car
  • you normally won’t have to wait long at the airport to be picked up

If you want to pay less for your transfer

  • get a flight that lands in the middle of the day - it’ll often be easier for transfer companies to group more people together at that time

Shared vs private transfers

Shared transfers
You'll be on a bus with passengers arriving at the airport at a similar time to you.

These tend to be cheaper, although you might have to wait a little while before your bus leaves (typically not more than an hour).

If your transfer is a door-to-door service, you may also have to wait for other passengers to be dropped off in resort. On the plus side, you'll get to discover parts of La Plagne you didn't know existed.

Private transfers
You or your group travel alone. 

With this type of transfer, there's no waiting around. You can leave the airport as soon as you've cleared customs. The down side is that this is a much more expensive way to travel, and private transfers are not always available.
