Leaving Moutiers station for Mottaret
Why Mottaret is further than Méribel Centre
Your driver is waiting as you leave the platform at Moutiers station, with a name sign, having tracked your train using the number you gave when booking. Mottaret is the highest of our Méribel valley destinations, and most guests arrive for a week of ski-in, ski-out skiing with plenty of kit.
The van takes ski bags, snowboards, suitcases and pushchairs, and any child seats or boosters you asked for are fitted before you arrive. Do send us the name and address of your residence: it tells us which side of the resort to head for.
As far as Méribel Centre, the route is the same: along the valley to Brides-les-Bains, then up through Les Allues. For Mottaret the road keeps going past the centre, climbing several more kilometres up the valley to 1,750 m. In all, that is about 25 km rather than 18, and 35 to 45 minutes instead of 25 to 35.
The extra distance and climb are why the fare is €90 rather than €75 for Méribel Centre. On winter Saturdays the queue of cars heading up to the resorts can make the drive considerably longer, but the fare agreed when you book does not change. How much slack to allow: see our guide Arriving on a Saturday in the Tarentaise.
Delayed train
A late train does not affect your transfer: your driver times the pick-up to the actual arrival. Missed a connection or caught a different train? A call or WhatsApp message is all it takes to rearrange things.
Arriving in Méribel-Mottaret: drop-off by side of the resort
Mottaret was designed for skiing from the door: many residences stand right by the pistes, which is a big part of its appeal at the heart of the 3 Valleys. When it comes to dropping you off, the one thing that matters is which side of the resort you are staying on.
The resort spreads up both slopes of the valley, and the two sides are not reached by the same road. With your exact address, your driver takes the right way straight away and stops at the entrance or car park of your residence, then helps you unload skis and luggage so you can settle in. The next morning you can clip into your skis almost on the doorstep, with lifts heading towards Méribel or over to the Belleville valley.

Méribel-Mottaret to Moutiers station transfer
Your return pick-up is at your residence, where we dropped you. Send us your train time and we agree a departure time together, allowing about 35 to 45 minutes for the drive down in normal conditions, plus loading.
On Saturdays, departures from Mottaret mix with arrivals all along the valley, so we build in a much wider margin and recommend booking this return transfer early. Book both legs together; each one is paid to its own driver. Skis and boots travel back in the van with you, so there is nothing to send ahead.
Bus or private transfer to Mottaret?
The S64 coach (Altibus) runs from the Moutiers bus station to Mottaret via Les Allues and Méribel Centre: allow about 1 hr 10 to Mottaret Le Hameau, for around €12 per adult. It stops at Mottaret Le Châtelet and then Le Hameau, not outside the residences. For a solo traveller with one bag, it is the cheapest option. For a family or group the maths changes: with eight in the van the transfer is €140, or €17.50 each, in 35 to 45 minutes, with no waiting for the coach and no final walk to the residence.
