All the public bus service schedules arrive at Moutiers rail station. From Moutiers there is a regular public bus service up to Meribel, Mottaret and Courchevel. Single fare from Moutiers bus station to Meribel at last count was about 12 euros per ticket. I think it is the same price for adults or children. The bus then stops at Meribel Les Allues village, then Meribel new village, Then the main town centre, by Meribel tourist office, then on and up to Mottaret. The journey is about 1- 15 miles and takes between 30 minutes and 1 hour depending on traffic and the road conditions.
