2. Private airport transfers

The Loyal Transfers team has been organising airport transfers to ski resorts around France since 2012. Their aim has always been to make independent travel to ski resorts cheaper and easier for everyone.

Loyal Transfers work with experienced drivers and English-speaking staff, plus there’s always someone available in their office to help you with any problems.

They use Economy and VIP minibuses, including 7 and 8-seater Renault Traffics and a 6-seater Mercedes Benz V Class minibus. For groups of more than eight people, they use their 7 and 8-seater vehicles. For example, if you're a group of 10 people – all 10 of you will leave in two private minibuses as soon as you arrive, and be picked up for your return trip in exactly the same way. You can spread the group over both minibuses, however you would like.

  • airport meet and greet - greeted at the airport by friendly, uniformed drivers

Ben's Bus Airport Transfers, Val Thorens

4. Shared airport transfers

Booking with them means your holiday won’t involve the stress of public transport, the cost of private transfers, or the hassle of fitting snow chains on a hire car. 

These airport shuttle buses can take you to Val Thorens on a sensible budget. They stop at all Val Thorens resorts, so you’re never far from your accommodation, and they run multiple buses to and from each airport.

Transfers operate on large coaches to keep costs down, but you’ll still enjoy excellent customer service while keeping your carbon footprint low. All transfer buses are supported by English-speaking reps to ensure your journey up the mountain runs smoothly. Your rep will greet you at the airport, guide you to your vehicle, liaise with the French drivers (who know the mountain roads better than anyone!), and make sure you get on and off at the right stop.

Every year, they have grown in both the number of resorts served and the frequency of departures. The only thing that hasn’t increased is the price - still among the most competitive on the market.

Why book with them:

  • great value
  • direct transfers that connect with your flights
  • fully insured and licensed vehicles
  • no queuing at the airport for tickets or car keys
  • no surcharge for carrying skis or snowboards
  • multiple stops in resort
  • most environmentally friendly way to reach resort
  • guaranteed seats

Operating since 2009 and partnered with French companies, their drivers and reps know the route inside out. With several transfers running daily, they can share up-to-date traffic information to help you arrive faster and more comfortably than anyone else.
