Oulx and Briancon bus transfers

Mon 23 Dec 2019

Here's the fourth episode in our series of articles looking at connections from trains to ski resorts. This time, it's the stations of Oulx and Briancon, which serve Montgenevre and Serre Chevalier ski resorts, amongst others.

In these cases, the bus company, Autocars Resalp, times the buses to meet arriving and departing trains. If the train is late, the bus waits. It's very well co-ordinated, the way that transport is meant to be.

At Briancon and Oulx stations, there are cafes to wait and have a bite or a drink if you are waiting for a train (or bus).

Any questions, let us know of course.

Our conclusion from this research
You'll see from the tables above that train and bus are well co-ordinated for transfers from Oulx and Briancon to the resorts of Montgenevre and Serre Chevalier. This is how things should be. 

Of course, if you want to save time there are taxi services too.

We hope, in partnership with ski resort and regional tourist offices, to help persuade bus companies in other regions of the French Alps to organise their timetables like this.
