Taking it easy, together…

You are in the mountains. In difficult traffic conditions, buses may be delayed. We do all we can to provide you with the best possible service, but we also count on your cooperation!

• To help avoid delays, have your change or ticket ready before you board the bus

• Passengers with onward connections should be aware that the end-of-day return journeys are often in high demand!

Travel in HMV

The Haute Maurienne Vanoise transport network is organised around two main lines:

• M11 Modane – Val Cenis Lanslebourg via Aussois

• M12 Modane – Bonneval sur Arc.

These services take you exploring the villages of Haute Maurienne Vanoise and serve the “transversal” lines that allow you to reach the resorts and our region’s many exceptional sites. Be aware that most are connecting services!

A “transport on demand” network

Some lines run continuously throughout the summer, while others operate only on prior reservation: lines 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, M11 and M12.
