Bourg d’Oisans Airport Transfers

Bourg d’Oisans is a town on the valley floor and the transport hub for the surrounding ski resorts of Alpe d’Huez, Les Deux Alpes, Oz en Oisans, Vaujany, Auris en Oisans and La Grave.

Ben’s Bus operates its transfers from Grenoble Airport to Bourg d’Oisans throughout the 2024 / 25 ski season. We connect with all scheduled flights up to the 12th April. Transfers from Bourg d’Oisans to Lyon Airport run less frequently. Both services will drop you off at and pick you up from the main bus station in Bourg d’Oisans, the “Gare Routiere”.

If you’re travelling from or to Grenoble Airport, we also have a stop at Rochetaillee. This stop is located just before Bourg, at the junction of the road that goes up to Vaujany and Oz. Scroll down to find more information and advice about onward transport from either of these stops. Alternatively visit our Oz en Oisans webpage or our Vaujany webpage.

AIRPORT TRANSFERS TO BOURG D’OISANS

Our Grenoble Airport service starts on the 1st December 2024 and finishes on the 12th April 2025. Prices are £58 Return & £33.50 Single but we have some great discounts for groups and children. Click this link to get an Instant Quote for your group and the discounts will be applied automatically. The proceeding pages will then show our bus times. Lyon Airport transfers only run on Saturdays and not all season. Our Lyon prices are £71.50pp Return, £40.50 Single.

Bourg d’Oisans can be used as a base for ski holidays if you don’t mind travelling up to your resort and back again each day, a 25 minute journey. The main road that passes through is the D1091. It has a few hotels, accommodation centres and restaurants as well as a small old town. The Tourist Office for Bourg d’Oisans can provide more information on this. The local buses are operated by Transisere. The town has 3,000 inhabitants and is busiest in the summer, with cyclist and hikers using it as a base for the surrounding Ecrins National Park.

ALPE D’HUEZ AND LES DEUX ALPES AIRPORT TRANSFERS

We have a direct bus service to Alpe d’Huez and Les 2 Alpes and more information can be found on our Grenoble Airport to Alpe d’Huez or our Grenoble Airport to Les Deux Alpes pages. Visit our Lyon Airport to Alpe d’Huez page or our Lyon Airport to Les Deux Alpes page if you’re flying into Lyon St Exupery (LYS).

OZ EN OISANS AND VAUJANY AIRPORT TRANSFERS

If you are travelling to Oz en Oisans or Vaujany, you will need to book our service to Rochetaillee (or Bourg d’Oisans from Lyon Airport). More information can be found on the following pages Grenoble Airport to Oz en Oisans | Grenoble Airport to Vaujany | Lyon Airport to Oz en Oisans | Lyon Airport to Vaujany.

LA GRAVE AIRPORT TRANSFERS

If you need transport to La Grave, you can book our buses either directly from Grenoble Airport to La Grave (Saturdays only) or to the Lac du Chambon, about 10km before La Grave. More information can be found on our Grenoble Airport to La Grave page. If you’re flying into Lyon, you can book our service to either Bourg or Lac du Chambon. Visit our La Grave page for information and links to local transport providers to take you on the final leg of the journey.

SERRE CHEVALIER TRANSFERS

If you need transport to Serre Chevalier, you can book our buses direct to your resort on a Saturday. However, we have twice as many buses to Bourg d’Oisans and Lac du Chambon, from both Grenoble and Lyon Airports. So you may wish to book our bus there and then get a public bus or taxi onto your resort. The section below “Onward Transport from Bourg d’Oisans” can offer more advice on this.

AURIS EN OISANS AIRPORT TRANSFERS

If you need to get to Auris en Oisans, then booking our direct service to Bourg d’Oisans is the best thing for you. From here you will need to make travel arrangements for the short trip up to Auris. More information can be found on our Auris en Oisans page. The section “Onward Transport from Bourg d’Oisans” will be of particular help to you.

VENOSC AIRPORT TRANSFERS

A lot of Chalets based in Venosc will pick you up / drop you off at Bourg d’Oisans in their minibuses. If not, catch the local bus, the BDO03 or arrange a local taxi (see sections below). There is also the option to use the Telecabine de Venosc which arrives just next to our Diable stop in Les Deux Alpes. However, you should check the opening times of Telecabine de Venosc to ensure it works for you and our bus times.

BUS TIMES

Please enter your travel details into our Booking Form. Once you have selected your dates and flights, our ski transfer bus times will appear. Please read the below advice should your flight time not be listed.

AIRPORT > RESORT : My flight lands after the last time listed

If your flight arrives after the last time listed, then we’re sorry but we can’t transport you. The following tips may help you:

–  Consider changing your flight to an earlier one.

– Arriving on a Friday / Saturday evening? Consider staying in a hotel at Geneva Airport and then take our morning bus the next day. Just select “Hotel” for your Airline and Airport and the first flight arrival time listed to see our morning bus times.

– Heading to a Meribel / Mottaret valley resort? Use our booking form to see if we have a later bus to Moutiers, the town on the valley floor.

– Heading to La Plagne? Use our booking form to see if we have a later bus to Aime or Moutiers.

– Heading to Les Arcs? Use our booking form to see if we have a later bus to Bourg St Maurice.

– You could then book a Single to the town on the valley floor and then make another, separate, Single booking back from your resort.

– If none of these options work for you, take a look at our alternative transport page.

Remember, you could book a Single with us one way and another Single with another transport company for the other part of your journey.

RESORT > AIRPORT : My flight departs before the first time listed

If your flight departs before the first time listed in our dropdowns, then we cannot help you and you will probably need to book a private transfer or a hire car.

Remember, you could book a Single with us one way and another Single with another transport company for the other part of your journey.

Cheap Ski Transfers

LOW COST AIRPORT SKI TRANSFER PRICES

Ben’s Bus sells Cheap Ski Transfers from Geneva, Grenoble & Lyon Airports. You can see all our prices & discounts for the 2024 / 2025 ski season by expanding the sections at the bottom of this page. Or use the booking form on the right to get a Quote for your group in just a few seconds.

We pride ourselves on being the cheapest transport option and offering the best value-for-money ski transfers on our routes. The prices you see below are the maximum per person fares. However, with our group and child discounts, you could be paying even less.

• A Geneva Airport Saturday Single costs a maximum £50.50
• A Grenoble Airport Saturday Single costs a maximum £34*
• A Lyon Airport Saturday Single costs a maximum £41.50*

*These prices are to Alpe d’Huez & Les Deux Alpes. Other resorts cost up to £53pp

The price depends on the airport and ski resort you select, the number and age of the passengers and what day of the week you travel.

SHARED SKI TRANSFERS ARE CHEAPER!

You could pay for an expensive private transfer, but why bother when we provide high quality shared transfers on a sensible, affordable budget? Large coaches offer more comfort and space, with less impact on the environment (we offset all our vehicle carbon emissions) and more competitive prices for you. Our friendly and professional staff are on hand at the airport and in the ski resorts to make your journey go as smoothly as possible. If you’re comparing prices to hire cars and you find they’re cheaper, don’t forget to factor in the cost of tolls, petrol, parking and snow chains.

WHAT’S INCLUDED IN THE PRICE?

The Final Price shown when using our BOOK A TRANSFER form includes all Discounts and Surcharges. 

• Your luggage allowance is 1 large ‘hold’ item per person. Additional items can be bought when you book, or you can log in later to add extra items.
• Book as early as you can and avoid the Late Booking Fee, which is charged at £10 / booking when made the day before or day of your transfer
• If you’re booking from outside the UK or EU and you pay with a Credit Card, a 2% fee will be added at the end of your booking
• We reserve the right to check passenger’s passports at the airport to verify their age if a Child Discount has been applied to your booking.
• You can choose to upgrade to Ben’s Bus Plus towards the end of the booking process. 

We reserve the right to change our Prices at any time without notice. To ensure you get the price listed, we advise you to book as early as you can.

Clothing Rental

RENT CLOTHING FOR YOUR SKI HOLIDAY

Crevasse Clothing have been hiring ski clothing for over a decade, ensuring you have everything you need for your ski and snowboard holiday. They’ve created a video about their service and products which you can view on your tube.

Use the exclusive discount code bensrental to get a 10% discount as a Ben’s Bus customer.

New Bus Stop in Mottaret Le Hameau

Posted 16th July 2020

BEN’S BUS CREATES EXTRA BUS STOP IN MOTTARET LE HAMEAU

We’ve listened to our customers and have added a new stop in Mottaret. Now all our services from Geneva Airport to Mottaret will make a stop at Mottaret Centre and Mottaret Le Hameau.

The Hameau area includes accommodations such as Residence Le Lac Blanc, Les Logis du Meribel, Residence Club Odalys Le Hameau de Mottaret and VVF Le Fontany a Meribel. There are also 2 hotels, Les Arolles and Hotel Tarentaise close by.

The area of Hameau is above the centre of Mottaret and so previously customers would have to take the shuttle bus to get from our stop in the centre up to the Le Hameau sector. The problem is that in the early hours of the morning and late in the evening, the shuttle bus might not have been working, which meant a bit of a walk. So our services will make a stop on the roundabout at the top of the road, so it’s just a very short walk to many of the large accommodations centres in Le Hameau. Click on the map to view a larger version.

Our services from Grenoble Airport and Lyon Airport still only make stops at Moutiers, but from here you can use public buses or taxis to take you onto your accommodation.

Our cheap shared ski transfers from Geneva Airport will continue to make stops at Meribel and Meribel Village, Les Allues and Brides Les Bains.

We hope you can make use of this new stop and that it will enhance your holiday experience.

payment problems

We’re sorry if you’re having problems paying. We hope this page provides a solution for you.

When we say ‘Issuing Bank’ we are talking about the bank that supplied the card to the ‘Card Holder’.

When we say ‘Card Holder” we are talking about the person who puts their card details into the Payments Page.

TRANSACTION DECLINED!

The Issuing Bank has complete control over when a transaction is declined. We cannot do anything about this. Here are some common reasons for seeing a Declined Message:

– Card Number, Expiry Date or 3 Digit Code were entered incorrectly.

– Insufficient funds in the account.

– Foreign letters or Characters were entered as part of your Name, Mobile Number or Billing Address. Please only use alpha-numeric, Latin letters. Do not use characters such as – ‘ ! ” ?

– International Dialling Code (IDC) was entered at the start of your mobile phone number. The IDC must only be entered by way of our dropdown! For instance, do not type 004407767.. and instead type 07767…

– Personal Details of ‘Lead Passenger’ do not match those of the ‘Card Holder’: The Passenger Details Page on our website takes information about the ‘Lead Passenger’. To assist in fraud prevention, it is our legal obligation to send this information to the Issuing Bank. If the data you give us about the Lead Passenger does not match what the Issuing Bank has for the Card Holder, they may decline the transaction.

BOOKING A BUS FOR SOMEONE ELSE

If you are trying to book a bus for someone else and you enter their details as the Lead Passenger, the Issuing Bank could trigger a decline as those details will be different from you, the Card Holders’ details. You could instead book for yourself (so enter your Name, Mobile Number, email address as the Lead Passenger) and then, once the booking has been confirmed, Log In to change the personal details to the person who is actually travelling. We do not charge anything for these types of changes.

ISSUES BOOKING FROM HONG KONG

We are aware that some Hong Kong banks are declining some of our transactions for unknown reasons. We are sorry for this. Despite our considerable efforts, we have not been able to find out why. This is the only solution we have for you:

Ask a friend or family member who is based in another country to book for themselves. They will need to enter their own Name, Mobile Number, email address and Billing Address as the ‘Lead Passenger’. Then, once the booking has been confirmed, they can Log In to change the personal details to the person who is actually travelling. We do not charge anything for these types of changes. Just make sure they have all the exact and correct information about dates, resorts and flights!!

NOPE! NONE OF THE ABOVE HELPS!

We’re sorry if the above does not help you. You could try with another card or from another device. Or you could ask another member of your group to try booking. If you still encounter problems with multiple cards then please email ku.oc.subsneb@ecnanif and provide the following information, and we’ll look into it for you:

– The time and date you were attempting to pay

– The name of the card holder

– If possible a screenshot of the error you receive and any other relevant information
