Transfers to Courchevel

Getting to Courchevel isn't the easiest despite it being such a popular resort.

 

Ben’s Bus offers shared airport transfers to Moutiers and you can get a short taxi ride from there up to the Courchevel villages.

 

Alternatively, private transfers are an option, this would be a door to door service and there's no waiting around at the airport. For groups of 8 (which is the sweet spot for minibus transfers) are pretty good value for money.
