We care about the environmental impact of visitors’ journeys to our beautiful village.
This is why we suggest you give priority to the most eco-friendly means of transport.
In addition, everything in Val d’Isère can be reached on foot and our free buses run on a regular basis, both winter and summer, to help you travel quickly and easily from one end of the resort to another.
If you want to avoid the traffic jams, then the train is your ideal solution.
The nearest train station is Bourg-Saint-Maurice (40 minutes away) where there are plenty of rail services including high-speed trains (TGV, Eurostar, Thalys).
The bus might be the most practical and cheapest solution, and you won’t have to worry about finding a parking space.
For a stress-free trip, book your seat now!
Find an ALTIBUS ticket vending machine inside the bus station and the Tourist Office, allowing you to purchase your ticket directly on-site for greater convenience and ease.
From the train station or the airport to Val d’Isère or simply to get around the village, discover our selection of taxis and private drivers.
Both ecofriendly and economical, this is a great way to meet new people who are likely to share your passion for the mountains!
There are 4 ‘carshare’ stops in and around the village, for passenger pick-up and drop-off:
Stopping time at these locations is 10 minutes maximum. Parking is not allowed and the driver must be present in the vehicle.
The Haute Tarentaise local council community has joined forces with the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes regional council to provide you with a local carshare service to meet increasing travel needs, with MOV’ICI.
