How to get from Geneva Airport to Metabief, Doubs, France by public transport?

5

I will be travelling to Métabief, France.

My flight will arrive at Geneva Airport on 16 June (Sunday) around 7.30am.

I would like to know how to get from Geneva Airport to Metabief by public transport.

As mentioned in this post, it seems that there will be no bus from Vallorbe to Métabief on Sunday. So I cannot take train and alight at Vallorbe followed by a bus.

Also, taxi is not an option from Geneva airport to Metabief as it will be a 100 km-journey , which is not cheap.

  You say "by public transport", but is renting a car an option? Or long-distance rideshare with Blablacar? If you're only one person with one piece of luggage, Blablacar is likely cheapest, and car rental is likely fastest. How quickly do you need to get there, and are these options? Is it ok to take 2hrs more to save CHF100? You can post your trip on Blablacar in advance, and you will get informed of nearby rides (time, destination, and price).

  @smci I just have to reach Metabief before 5pm. I am okay with taking 2hrs more to save money. Yes I am travelling alone. Renting a car is an option as long as it is cheaper than public transport.

1. Catch a train from Geneva Airport to Lausanne (leaving at xx:02 every hour).


2. Change to local train S2 to Vallorbe.


3. Take a taxi for the last 12.5 km to Métabief, or arrange for your accommodation to organise transport.

You should pre-book the train trip Geneva Airport-Vallorbe here for the cheapest fare (CHF 24.60)
