Bourg St Maurice station

Buses depart from a bay right outside Bourg St Maurice station. You walk out of Bourg St Maurice station and the buses are right there.  Bourg St Maurice station has a big hall and waiting room, so you can wait in the warm.   The station has a shop which also sells hot drinks, and there are cafes and restaurants opposite and around the station - so plenty of places to wait, eat and drink if there is a gap between train and bus. 

You can buy bus tickets at a counter at the train station, but it is recommended to buy them in advance online at www.altibus.com which shows timetable information too.

Is there a bus to serve your train? Here's our analysis

Bourg St Maurice station

This season we researched the connections between the arrival and departure times of popular trains to Bourg St Maurice and whether, for each of these trains, there was a convenient bus connection - or even any bus possible at all.  The results surprised us, in terms of how badly co-ordinated the buses are with the arrial of trains.  In many cases there is not convenient bus connection, so the only option is a taxi transfer.

*a:  this bus runs only on 8th, 15th and 22nd Feb 2020.
*b:  this bus goes via Val d'Isere first, so takes longer.

As a result of the lack of co-ordination between the buses and the trains, we are trying to help skiers to share taxis - see section below.

If you would like to share a taxi, we are pioneering a transfer matching service, to put singles, couples and small groups of skiers who are travelling to the same destination on the same train on the same date, in touch with each other. 

So if you would like to share a taxi in order to save money and help the environment, go to Shared-station-to-resort-transfers.
