Our vehicles.

Comfortable, clean minibuses built for the mountains.

Our fleet

We run one type of vehicle: the 8-seater Renault Trafic minibus (9 seats including the driver). The Trafic is the famous workhorse of the French Alps, and for transporting guests we think it is the best vehicle for the job, for its size, comfort and safety.

Comfort

All our minibuses are air-conditioned, so you stay warm in winter and cool in summer. They are long-wheelbase versions, with extra legroom and loads of room for bags, and even skis and snowboards. In summer we use trailers to carry bikes.

Safety in the mountains

Our winter fleet runs on snow tyres, and every minibus carries snow chains. We even fit safety bars to keep you safer on board, and they add a pinch of class too. Chains go on when snow is heavy, or when conditions or police directions require them. Our drivers are trained to fit them quickly, and can do it almost blindfolded.

Watch Steve fit snow chains.

Driving yourself? Please learn how to fit chains before you arrive. Fitting them at the roadside in the dark, in freezing, dangerous and horrible conditions is no fun, and it can block the road for everyone.
