Why are ski transfers so bloody expensive?

Quotes to popular french resorts from geneva and chambery are in the 100's yet similar distances via taxis are often so much less elsewhere.


Are they milking us? Do they think we are all elitist Hooray Henrys?

Because if you don't like the price your alternative is getting there after changing numerous public busses while carrying you luggage/skis/kids:) So after some consideration you decide that the price is okayish, and every one is the same and that's why the price is higher than elsewhere. so, in a way, they are milking you.

This is one of the upsides of the Eurostar service.

Private pre booked transfer from Moutiers to Meribel will only cost us 135 euros return for the 4 of us and hopefully only about 20 minutes door to door.
