a small party of friends and I (3 of us, all adults) recently booked flights to geneva airport and are skiing and staying in les deux alpes resort, however we encountered problems as our flight arrives in at 15.20 and we were planning to get a bus to grenoble and then use company bensbus to get from grenoble airport to les deux alpes as we were advised this is cheapest way to go about it, however bus closest to our arrival time is at 15.30 which wouldn't give us enough time to get our luggage etc. Next bus is at 18.00 which we could get and drops us at grenoble bus station at 20.00 with last bensbus leaving at 20.50 from grenoble airport. I tried finding Grenoble bus station on google maps but was unable to, so does anybody who has been to grenoble before know how long it would take to walk from bus station to airport or of any cheap alternatives for getting to les deux alpes from geneva airport? thanks :)

You can get a public bus from Grenoble Gare Routiere via Altibus or VFD, we did this a few years ago. Took about 4 hours or so all told from Geneva to resort, but as it was some time ago, not sure of bus times - try googling both the above.
Up there for thinking, down there for skiing...

The airport at grenoble is quite a way out of town.
Can you change your flights to Grenoble?

thanks jocrad ill look into that, and unfortunately no snapzzz since we booked through easyjet the best we can do is change our flights to earlier that day for about 40 quid which we might have to end up doing.

Is renting a car an option? Even if just between Geneva and Grenoble?
This sounds like a difficult journey.
Good luck.
