RISE FESTIVAL AIRPORT TRANSFERS FOR £35pp
The Rise Festival is returning for 2025! The pre-Christmas party in the Alps runs from the 6th – 13th December. It promises to be one of the best ski parties of the season.
The Rise festival is located in Les Deux Alpes, in the southern French Alps. The resort offers fantastic skiing and even better apres-ski. The Main Stage and Indoor Arena will as always be playing host to some big names.
If you’re planning your travels, you’re probably asking ‘How do I get to the Rise festival‘? The answer: with Ben’s Bus! All our Rise airport transfers are carbon neutral and make 3 stops in the resort so you won’t be far from your accommodation. One Way transfers from Grenoble Airport cost £35pp but if you’re travelling in a group, you’ll pay even less.

– Grenoble Airport is the closest airport to the RISE festival in Les Deux Alpes. It’s only 68 miles away and when the traffic is good. This means the journey takes a mere 1 hour 45 minutes!! View the route from Grenoble Airport to the Rise festival in googlemaps.
– Lyon Airport is the 2nd closest airport. It’s 97 miles away and a lot of the journey is on motorways. If there is no traffic, the journey takes just over 2 hours. View the route from Lyon Airport to the Rise festival in googlemaps.

LYON AIRPORT BUS TRANSFERS TO THE RISE FESTIVAL
Lyon Airport to Les Deux Alpes Transfers take a little longer than from Grenoble Airport, at just over 2 hours. All buses are direct to the RISE Festival. One of our 3 stops in resort is right outside the main meeting point for the festival. A Return costs £75pp and a Single costs £41.50, but with our group discounts, you could be paying just £36.
Our first bus on the 6th December will leave at 09:10 and our last bus at 21:30. For the return on the 13th December, our first bus will arrive at Lyon Airport at about 06:45 in time for any flight departing after 08:40
As always with Ben’s Bus, a rep will meet you at Lyon Airport and in resort to make sure you get on the bus.
GENEVA AIRPORT TO THE RISE FESTIVAL
We do not operate any transfers from Geneva Airport. Although it is well serviced by many flights, is the furthest airport from Les Deux Alpes and the least convenient. You would need to cross the international road border between Switzerland and France and the transfer takes quite a long time.
If you’ve found cheaper flights to Geneva, make you sure you factor in the cost of the transfers and add everything up to make a true comparison with flying into the much more convenient Lyon or Grenoble Airport. Geneva Airport should be avoided as there are so many flights coming into Lyon and Grenoble which are both much closer.
