Every winter, many ski enthusiasts head to the mountains to indulge in winter sports. If the personal car remains preferred, there are other ways to get to the station. I go around the different means that can sometimes make life easier for skiers.
The VTC solution to easily get to the ski resort
To reach the ski resort during the holidays, the best means of private transport, starting from the airport or the station, remains the VTC. However, it will be necessary to reserve the taxi at least one day before the arrival on the spot. This procedure is quite simple and can be done via a phone call or on the website of the transport company. If it’s a ski resort located near Chamonix for example, I recommend contacting a taxi company in Chamonix, indicating the days and times of arrival at the airport or train station. This means of transport offers many advantages, namely:
- optimal security,
- better comfort,
- serenity,
- better value for money.
In addition, the VTC company chosen is responsible for providing a suitable vehicle to offer the most optimal comfort. The trip from the station to the ski resort is done in a relatively short time, so the prospect of hurtling down the ski slopes like crazy requires little patience.
Are taxis easy to find in the ski resort?
The best way to be sure to quickly find a taxi in the ski resort is to book. Indeed, it can be very difficult to find a taxi in the station, by simply walking through the streets. Fortunately, there are generally several taxi companies providing holidaymakers with taxis to help them with their various errands. The most probable in terms of easy travel in the resort are the shuttles that connect the town center and the ski resort. But they can be somewhat uncomfortable since you will sometimes have to share the race with other people.
Public transport in the ski resort: buses and shuttles
The other option for reaching the ski resort for the holidays from the airport or the train station is that of public transport. Although they can be quite practical, they still have some drawbacks. First of all, the lack of comfort of public transport is known to all. It is not possible to be as comfortable on a bus as you would be in a VTC.
In addition, and because of the many stops made on the way, travel times are much longer with public transport. It is still possible to have direct bus lines or shuttles from the station or from the airport to the ski resort. However, as far as shuttles are concerned, it is best to request them at the hotel level before making the trip.
