Hitch hiking geneva to val thorens

Has anyone ever hitch-hiked from geneva airport to val thorens? I can't find a reasonable transfer so this may be my only option. So many people must be heading to the three valleys from geneva, how difficult can it be?

Ask all the reps for the TO's for a lift for a few euros. Most of these guys are underpaid and will do anything for some beer tokens.
I asked one crystal rep at chambery airport once if they would take random people on their coaches for a few quid and the reply was....'Hell yeah'

Hitching is good fun, and you mostly get to meet interesting people. Can be tricky if you have skis, though.

If you put the date and time you might be able to share a private transfer/car share with people on here, if anyone's going at the same time as you.

There is a scheduled bus service from Geneva to Val Thorens which runs a few times daily both from the Airport and city centre. Google "gare routier Geneva" (I can't remember their website), choose "Stations Aplines" in the drop down menue and download the schedule. This is likely to be your cheapest option and this is what most people would use here in Geneva. as for hitch hiking you may spend long time at the side of the road waiting for someone to give you a lift - too many places around that people drive to from Geneva. I am sure it's the great way to see various countryside, but given that direct route takes about 3 hours, if you choose to hitch hike you are likely to spend much longer than that.
