If you need to find where you accommodation is in relation to our stops, please take a look at the Chamrousse Tourist Office Resort Map, which shows all accommodation centres. For your return to Grenoble Airport, we do ask people to be at their stop 10 minutes before the departure time so we have time to load your bags onto the bus. The map below, as well as the departure time from each stop and a description of each stop, will be on your Ben's Bus e-Ticket which you will receive when you book with us. Please note that our stop at Chamrousse 1650 is by request only!! We may not be able to pick you up there depending on the time of the year and the time of day (due to traffic conditions).

what about the kids?
Here's our policy on carrying children:
Infants Under 2
Infants under 2 may sit on their parents laps as the journey is only usually 1 hour 15 minutes. You therefore do not need to book or pay for a seat for children under 2. However, we would ask you to email us with their name so we have a full list of passengers on our manifests. If you would prefer your child to sit in a baby seat, we can can provide you with a suitable seat, availability permitting. You may also bring your own child seat but you need to contact us in advance to ensure we allocate you one of the front 4 seats. If your infants sits in a baby seat, they will need to book a seat on our bus as a Child.
Children Aged 2 - 12
Children between 2 and 12 receive a 10% discount when booking. We regretfully cannot provide booster seats so we would advise customers to bring their own.
Children Over 12
Children over 12 must pay the full adult fare. We're still pretty cheap at £48.50pp Return so hopefully you'll still decide to bring them with you!(?)
what if our flight is delayed?
Grenoble Airport is an efficient little airport. It generally only takes about 30 minutes to get off the plane, collect your bags and get onto our bus.
We understand that flights can be delayed and we try to be as flexible as we can be with this. Our bus will wait for you as long as you are on our bus within 30 minutes of its scheduled departure time. After that, our bus may have to leave as it needs to be back in the resort to run another transfer out of Chamrousse. However, in the rare instance we have to leave without you on-board, we will always try our hardest to get you on the next bus at no extra cost. We have many shuttles going back and forth each day and we have an excellent record of getting our customers to the resort. Our staff will always go the extra mile for our customers and it is extremely rare that things go wrong.
