Long story but I need to drop DC off at a ski resort next spring. I am flying them over, dropping, overnighting then heading off. Flights and hotel seem reasonable, but I can't figure out transport between the airport and resort. I haven't skied in decades so this is all new to me. I was imagining there would be something equivalent to a summer package holiday, where everyone piles on a mini bus included in the price and gets dropped at their hotel. Is this not the case? Am I looking at another substantial cost here?

Just found a bus service, Flixbus with incredibly low prices. Just trying to figure out if it is legitimate.

Flixbus is definitely legitimate - many Flixbus routes into/out of Geneva.

There’s bus replacement on the trains up to Aosta at the moment. Not sure how long that’s supposed to be for though.

Yes, transfers can be long and very expensive. We always try to get them included now for that reason (not helpful I know!)
