Buy your bus tickets for the French Alps online

C’est plus pratique d’acheter vos tickets à l’avance pour les trajets dans les Alpes françaises que d’acheter dans le bus.
It’s much easier buying tickets online for journeys in the French Alps if the bus station office is closed or than paying on the bus if you don’t have change as they don’t accept payment by card. The Altibus website also gives you the bus times. Very easy to use

Terrible Company – Avoid at All Costs!

Terrible Company – Avoid at All Costs!

Altibus is completely unreliable. We booked a 13:30 bus from Geneva Airport to Alpe d’Huez on March 15, 2025, but it never stopped to pick us up! The driver ignored over 10 calls from both the ticket counter staff and customer support.

Altibus refused to take responsibility, provided false and inconsistent information, and ignored our refund request. We had to escalate the issue through our bank.

This company is unprofessional and untrustworthy—avoid them if you don’t want to be stranded!

We bought tickets from Geneva to Alpes…

We bought tickets from Geneva to Alpes de Huez. The bus did not arrive at the specified time, was late and simply drove past the pick-up point.

My travel companion and I purchased tickets for the 13:30 departure (booking reference: ADH20284). We arrived at the bus stop at 12:30 and waited for the scheduled bus.  

At 13:45, a bus with the correct company and route signage arrived at the stop but did not stop. It simply drove past without picking up passengers. Shocked by this situation, I immediately sought assistance from the ticket counter at the airport. The staff attempted to contact the driver multiple times (approximately 10 calls), but he did not answer. Even your online customer support team tried to reach him, but after some attempts, he ignored the calls and then turned off his phone.  

Due to this incident, we were left stranded at the airport and were unable to reach our destination, as this was the only scheduled bus for the day.

When we asked to return the money, the company claimed that we were late and the bus was there. They refused to return the money.

Moreover, the representative from their side sends data that is not tied to the flight and convinces that what we say is not true. There were about 5 more people like us, do not use this scam!!!

Horrible experience

Horrible experience. Do NOT buy. Unorganized, no information on how you are traveling, very rude driver, no customer service available to reach out to for help. Left a family of 6 with luggage and stroller behind. Had to pay an Uber last minute from Courchevel to Geneva

Stranded in St. Martin de Belleville; no way to reach anyone

We booked a bus from Saint Martin de Belleville to Geneva airport. We were informed that a bus would pick us up by the city hall to connect in Moutiers to the airport. We were given the name of a few possible carriers that might pick us up. We arrived 20 minutes early and waited 30 minutes past and no bus arrived for us. We repeatedly tried calling the 'emergency' number only to get a recording that it was closed. We tried chatting on the website with no response. Had it not been for the kindness of someone who drove us to Moutiers to catch the bus to the airport, we would have all missed our flights. When we complained to Altibus, they said that the bus arrived but referred to the regional transit bus, which we were never told was how we were supposed to be transported. Never again will we book through Altibus.

Awful website and service at Bourg St Maurice

The bus operators at Bourg St Maurice would not let us on without the ticket even though I was logged in to the Altibus website and showed them my booking details - but the website didn’t work properly and we didn’t get the correct ticket emailed to us. We managed to bluff our way on by showing a ticket that had the correct time but wrong date. There was no obvious way to generate a new ticket when logged in to the site.

Hello, the cancelation module on our site is set to the parameters of the carriers terms and conditions of cancelation.

In the case of your ticket, refund is not possible as the outward journey has already been made. You still have the option to cancel the ticket without a refund if you would like to, by clicking on "I would like to cancel my bus ticket" on the refund module.

Please know our customer service team is available Monday to Saturday, 8a.m. to 7p.m. GMT+1 , if you need assistance.

Quick and efficient customer support for PMR transport

The customer service replied super quickly to my email requesting a phone conversation to make the necessary arrangements for a handicapped transfer. The man on the line was kind and efficient. Only I did not get the reimbursement for the tickets that was promised. The website does not provide information and opportunity to purchase tickets for handicapped and the accompanying person, so you need to buy the adult ticket to be able to request the PMR service. This might be something to look into. (Having done the journey, updating my comment: indeed, the transaction for my payment was cancelled by the service provider, when attempting to make the reimbursement for the ticket, so nothing was booked for us when we arrived to the station. The lady at Gare Moutier was very professional and after understanding the situation fixed a transfer and we made a new reservation via telephone. My opinion stands, that the PMR transport option is fantastic, the personnel is amazing, the process to purchase a PMR ticket and the information published should be revisited.)

Hello, thank you for your feedback.

There was no reimbursement for this order as the amount was never charged, the transaction was exceptionally canceled with our bank on the day of your purchase.

The unfriendly and rude driver

The driver was very unfriendly and rude. First we were refused boarding because of our ski boots. After we took off our boots, our child was pushed off the bus because the driver didn't realize we had tickets. Very bad customer service.
