Moutiers Airport Transfers
Transfers to Moutiers are available from 3 different airports with Ben’s Bus. Our network of shared transfers include buses from GENEVA Airport to Moutiers, GRENOBLE Airport to Moutiers and LYON Airport to Moutiers. Moutiers is a town on the valley floor and the transport hub for the Three Valley ski resorts. Lots of buses leave the very busy Moutiers bus station for various ski resorts. It’s only a 2 hour journey from all 3 airports, mostly on motorways or major trunk roads.
We also have direct shared shuttles from Geneva, Grenoble & Lyon Airports to the following resorts:
And from Geneva Airport we have ski transfers to these resorts:
MOUTIERS AIRPORT TRANSFERS
We run Moutiers airport transfers on week-ends during the 2024 / 25 ski season. We operate many shuttle buses each day and we generally transport passengers in large coaches. This means cheaper fares for you and less of a carbon footprint. Travelling on a shared transfer is the most environmentally way of getting to Moutiers, especially since we offset our carbon emissions.

LYON AIRPORT TO MOUTIERS
The furthest airport from Moutiers is Lyon, but most of the journey is on motorways. This means you can travel further, although there are obviously extra costs due to the tolls. It needs mentioning that during school holidays the Parisians use this route to return home, so it’s not the best airport to use during these busy times. Our transfers run on Saturdays only from the 14th December 2024 – 5th April 2025 and cost £90pp Return, £51pp Single.
MOUTIERS BUS STATION
Our buses drop and pick up our customers from the main bus station in Moutiers, the “Gare Routiere”. Click to see the location in gmaps. Our airport shuttle buses to Geneva (GVA), Grenoble (GNB) and Lyon (LYS) Airports usually drop you off at and pick you up from the Bays 13 – 16. On Saturdays, the bus station becomes extremely busy, so sometimes we have to use other bays. The best thing to do is to keep an eye on all the buses coming into the coach station. If in doubt, just ask a driver or a member of the bus station staff if that is your bus. The TV screens may show our buses but this cannot be 100% relied upon.
