AIRPORT TRANSFERS TO AIME
Aime is the transport hub for the nearby ski resorts. Local buses can take you up to La Plagne, but if you’re travelling onto Landry, Peisey-Nancroix, Plan Peisey or Les Coches, we’d advise booking a connecting taxi. See the section below about Onward Transport for advice and recommendations.
Between the hours of 7am – 2pm, the road between Aime and Moutiers can be heavily congested so you may wish to book our service and your connecting taxi to / from Moutiers instead. We generally transport passengers in large coaches. This means cheaper fares for you and because we offset our small carbon emissions, your journey will be carbon neutral. We have some great discounts for Children.
AIME BUS STATION
There is only one bus station in Aime, the “Aime Gare Routiere“, which is directly outside the train station in the centre of Aime. See it in googlemaps. It is quite a small station with only about 5 bays. This is the best place to either take an onward bus to your final destination, or arrange for a taxi to pick you up. When meeting our service, please keep an eye on all buses coming in and ask the drivers if they are Ben’s Bus for your airport, as our services may not be listed on the TV screens.

Aime is the main transport hub for the area. It has frequent services to most of the surrounding ski resorts at week-ends.
