BUS STOPS
All our airport transfers to Val Thorens from Grenoble, Geneva and Lyon Airports stop at the main Bus Station, the “Gare Routiere”. We also have a stop at the UCPA centre but you should probably only use this stop if you are actually staying there. This is because the UCPA stop is quite isolated and there is not much else around there.
The free in-resort shuttle buses dart around the resort making multiple stops in convenient locations, so you can get from the bus station to your accommodation. These shuttle buses also connect the UCPA centre to the main resort. You can see where the Bus Station is on google maps or click the map below to see Interactive Tourist Office Map. Our e-Tickets display this map as well as the pick up time for your stop.
