Oh dear, loads of poor info here.
Right. Firstly, there's plenty of companies that will give you a shared transfer from the airport to your destination of choice (i.e. door to door). These include Mountain Dropoffs, ChamVan, Chamonix First etc. etc. Generally around €25-€35 per person each way. Depending on where you accommodation is (i,e, Argentiere etc.) this might be the best option as in-valley transport is not great. They can also do private transfers (worth it if you're a group of 5 or more, or have a pile of cash burning hole in your pocket)
Then there's the "scheduled" services, Alpybus, Chamexpress etc. They have a number of fixed departure time mini buses and if you miss the bus, then tough, you might get the next one. This sucks if it's the last bus of the day as you will end up in the airport overnight. They are a bit cheaper. Some might say you get what you pay for.
Then there's the new low priced service with Easybus from the airport to THE CENTRE of town. Fine for Cham Sud etc. useless if you're more than 5 mins from the train station. €5 to €15 each way.
There's also SAT BUS scheduled buses - similar to Easybus but bigger, less frequent and more expensive.
> Not necessarily. Mountain Dropoffs ( at least in Sept when I used them ) left from the opposite end of the airport from arrivals which was a royal pain in the arse if you have a ton of gear and no 2 Euro coin to get a trolley....
> ...It's the little things.
MountainDropoffs got forced to pickup at the French side for a few months due to a change in Swiss regulations, they're now picking up from the Swiss side as per all the other companies.
"Chamexpress are totally reliable in my experience, & I've used them loads"
Hmmm..... the weekly rants on Chamsocial about being left at the airport and missing flights would seem to disagree...
