We generally use Bay Number 13 of the main bus station in Bourg St Maurice, the “Gare Routiere”. This is the bus and train station, which can be located in the centre of town. From here, you can get onward transport with the local bus network or take a short walk to the Funicular station, which will take you up to Les Arcs in minutes. We ask our customers to keep an eye out for our vehicles as the bus station can get very busy and it’s not always possible to park at Bay Number 13. Our services may not be listed on the TV screens, so look out for a bus with “Ben’s Bus – Lyon Airport” in the window or ask a driver for help.
