PUBLIC BUS SERVICE
GENEVA AIRPORT TO MERIBEL

Public bus service  from the 3  airports serving Meribel is not always easy to book. There are public bus services to Meribel from Geneva, Lyon, & Chambery airports. For Grenoble , Lyon & Geneva Airport Bens Bus runs weekend shuttles. These are by far the cheapest way for singles or couples to get to Meribel.For prices, reservations and tickets go to Bens Bus web site.
Otherwise it means a private transfer.We have a great selection of private passenger transport companies in Meribel.

Or go to our transfer sharing forum if you want to share a minibus with other passengers and save money.

All the public bus service schedules arrive at Moutiers rail station. From Moutiers there is a regular public bus service up to Meribel, Mottaret and Courchevel. Single fare from  Moutiers bus station to Meribel at last count was about 12 euros per ticket. I think it is the same price for adults or children. The bus then stops at Meribel Les Allues village, then Meribel new village, Then the main town centre, by Meribel tourist office, then on and up to Mottaret. The journey is about 1- 15 miles and takes between 30 minutes and 1 hour depending on traffic and the road conditions.
