It is possible to get to most ski resorts by bus or taxi
instead of a private Lyon airport transfer. But for groups
of 3 or more it is often best to arrange a ski transfer
Lyon in advance with one of the Lyon airport transfer
operators. Booking a private Lyon airport transfer will
allow you to start you holiday without the stress of getting
to the bus stations and paying expensive taxi fares.
