Rhônexpress and Métro A to BellecourorBen's Bus ski shuttle to Alpe d'Huez?

The short answer

The Ben's Bus ski shuttle to Alpe d'Huez runs 12 December 2026 to 27 March 2027 only, and is out of season. Until it runs again there is nothing to compare: the Rhônexpress and Métro A to Bellecour is the one of these two running.

Where each one leaves you
RhônexpressA · Rhônexpress, then TCL, both for SYTRAL MobilitésRhônexpress and Métro A to Bellecour
From
The Rhônexpress platform at the Lyon Saint-Exupéry TGV station, seven minutes on foot from Terminals 1 and 2 across the footbridge with travelators
To
Bellecour, on Métro A: the Rhônexpress to Vaulx-en-Velin La Soie in 21 minutes, then 17 minutes on the métro
Runs
05:00–23:30
Journey
38–39 min

Get off the Rhônexpress at Vaulx-en-Velin La Soie, 21 minutes from the airport, for the same EUR 16.30 as Part-Dieu, and change to Métro A towards Perrache. Bellecour is 17 minutes on.

The Rhônexpress ticket buys nothing on TCL: pay the EUR 2.10 for the métro on top, from the on-board agent or by tapping a contactless card.

The last Rhônexpress that meets a métro every night is the 23:30. The 00:00 reaches La Soie at 00:21, when the métro has already run its last train on most nights; after Friday and Saturday evenings it runs later.

For Perrache, stay on Métro A two stops past Bellecour on the same ticket.
