ALTERNATIVES TO TRANSFERS
Of course, you don’t have to make use of a Geneva to Val D’Isere transfer. Public transport is available but can be unreliable. You first would need to prebook your train from Geneve Airport and then arrive to Bourg Saint Maurice Station. Here you then can use local buses or taxis to reach the resort of Val D’Isere
Alternatively, car hire services are available however but this will require you to drive the vehicle yourself. The mountain roads in the Alps can be challenging and sometimes treacherous, so it’s always safer to opt for a transfer with an experienced driver behind the wheel.
