VAL THORENS TRANSPORT, WEATHER AND RESORT INFORMATION
The easiest way to travel from Grenoble Airport to Val d'Isere is by direct shared transfer. Shared transfers are generally more affordable and environmentally friendly than private transfers, while also being quicker and more convenient than public transport, which will involve changing vehicles at least once in Grenoble centre and then again at Moutiers.
A shared transfer also avoids the hassle of hiring a car, driving on busy mountain roads and finding parking in Tignes. Ben’s Bus uses experienced local drivers who are familiar with winter driving conditions and the routes into the French Alps, including the areas where traffic is most likely to build up.
