Airport transfers for one or two
persons
If
you are traveling as a single person or in a very small group, please
read the information below before you submit an airport
transfer request on our system. Private transfers can be very
expensive for small groups but you might be able to get a bus transfer,
shared or shuttle service to your resort.
Airport
Transfers for one person
A
private airport transfer for one single person
is expensive and never a viable option unless you are
super rich. If you are traveling as a single person
you have to find a shared airport transfer, a
scheduled transfer service or travel by public transport
to get a good deal. Car hire is less expensive than
an airport transfer but still a substantial cost for
a person traveling on their own especially over longer
holiday periods. Some ski transfer operators offer shared
services or run shuttle buses between your chosen airport
and ski resort. Please make sure you select 'shared'
when submitting your airport transfer request form and
don't be disappointed when quotes are high. It is expensive
for operators to run a van for one person up and down
the mountain.
Airport
Transfers for very small groups
Private
airport transfers for two or three people can still
be expensive. As a general rule, private airport transfers
are cheapest for a group of 8 people and get proportionally
more expensive as the number of people traveling decreases.
For example: A private return transfer from Geneva airport
to Val D'isere can be as low as 70 - 100 euro per person
for a group of 8 but as high has a 250 euro per person
for a group of 2 or 3 people. Ask for a shared airport
transfer when submitting a request to receive a lower
quote.

Tips
to get you the best deal for one person:
- Make
it clear in the airport transfer request that you
are flexible on time and route
- Always
select 'shared' or 'no preference' for the type of
airport transfer
- Explore
public transport options to a destination closer to
the ski resort
- Check
if there is a scheduled airport transfer to your chosen
ski resort
- Find
other people who might travel to the same resort to
make airport transfer more viable
As
a rule of thumb: If you don't mind traveling with strangers
from the airport to your ski resort ask for a shared
airport transfer.
