Moutiers - Salins - Brides-les-Bains is one of the busiest ski-season stations in the Alps, with the Eurostar Snow service from London on winter Saturdays and seasonal coaches from Geneva and Lyon-Saint-Exupery airports. Courchevel and Meribel are both about thirty minutes onward by bus, on lines S65 and S64/T4. Val Thorens and Les Menuires, in the Belleville valley, are a longer bus ride further up.
