Serre Chevalier - transfer guide

Serre Chevalier is served by two railway stations. 

For daytime journeys, you travel to Oulx station; for overnight journeys, it's Briançon station, which is actually one of Serre Chevalier's villages (well Briançon is officially at town). 

In both cases, taxis and buses depart from right outside the train station, so there’s no need to wander.

Below, you’ll find information to help you plan and make your transfer.

Bus transfers: Briançon - Serre Chevalier

Buses depart from a bay adjacent to Briancon station, so when you exit the train station it's right there.

If there is a time gap between your train arriving/departing and the bus arriving/departing, then there is the hotel cafe opposite where you can wait in the warm and have a drink or a bite.

You can buy bus tickets at a counter at the train station or on the bus - It may be free if you already have a valid ski pass (we need to double check this info).

The buses are frequent, running every ten to twenty minutes. 

At the moment, it doesn't look like the bus company will publish a timetable in English.
