AIRPORT TRANSFERS TO THE RISE FESTIVAL FROM ONLY £27pp
The Rise Festival is returning to Les Deux Alpes for 2026. The music and fun runs from the 5th – 12th December and promises to be one of the best Alpine parties of the season. Watch the video from previous festivals here.
Les 2 Alpes offers fantastic skiing and snowboarding and even better apres-ski. The Main Stage and Indoor Arena will be playing host to some big names, including Sub Focus, Chris Stussy, Badger, Hannah Laing and many more.
We sell the cheapest transfers from Grenoble Airport, Lyon Airport and Geneva Airport to Les 2 Alpes, with frequent services so you won’t have to wait long.
HOW TO GET FROM THE AIRPORT TO THE RISE FESTIVAL
If you’re flying, you have 4 options to get from your chosen airport to the Rise festival in Les Deux Alpes.
1. Travel with Ben’s Bus: This is the cheapest option to get to Les Deux Alpes with lots of services. Put your flight times into our booking form and a list of bus times will appear. All transfers are carbon neutral and make 3 stops in the resort, so you won’t be far from your accommodation. Please note that Ben’s Bus is an independent transfer company and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Rise Festival.
2. Hire a Car: Although there is lots of free parking in Les 2 Alpes, space is limited and can be hard to come by. Make sure you get snow chains as the mountain roads can be treacherous. When budgeting, remember to add in the cost of tolls and fuel.
3. Public Transport: This is the least recommended option as you’ll need to change at least once and wait for your connection. When you add all the costs up, our direct transfers cost about the same and are certainly quicker and less hassle.
4. Official Rise Festival transfers: These transfers are offered via the official Rise website, although they seem to be considerably more expensive than Ben’s Bus transfers.
WHICH AIRPORT IS THE BEST ONE?
Grenoble is the closest airport to the Rise festival. It’s only 68 miles away, which means the journey can take just 1 hour 45 minutes. A Saturday Single with Ben’s Bus costs up to £36 and a Return costs up to £63.
Lyon is quite close to Les Deux Alpes. It’s 97 miles away and a lot of the journey is on motorways. If there is no traffic, the journey can take just over 2 hours. A Single costs up to £43.50 and a Return costs up to £79.
Geneva Airport is the furthest airport at 134 miles away and the transfer usually takes about 3 hours. You need to cross an international border, which can sometimes cause delays. A Single costs up to £45.50 and a Return costs up to £83.
We know when the roads will be busy and allow extra time for the journey back to the airport during these periods.

GETTING THERE FROM LYON AIRPORT
Lyon Airport to Les Deux Alpes Transfers take a little longer than from Grenoble Airport, at just over 2 hours. All our buses are non-stop and direct. We have 3 stops in the resort, 1 at either end and one in the middle of the resort. We have around 10 departure times a day, all connecting with the main flights to and from the UK and Europe.
Skyscanner is a great website to compare prices and see which airports you can use.
As always with Ben’s Bus, a rep will greet you at Lyon Airport and in resort to make sure you get on the bus and answer any questions you may have.
GETTING THERE FROM GENEVA AIRPORT
Transfers from Geneva Airport take the longest time so we’d recommend choosing Grenoble or Lyon if you can. However, there are loads more flights into Geneva servicing a lot more airports. Flight prices will also probably be cheaper, so Geneva Airport is worth considering if budget is your priority. We have up to 6 buses a day.
