Transfers To Méribel

Ben’s Bus offers shared Meribel Airport Transfers and are almost certainly the cheapest way of getting from the airport to Meribel.

 

Alternatively, private transfers are an option, they tend to be more expensive but you get 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) it wouldn't be too different in price to shared.
