 In the Termignon-la-Vanoise area, public transportation, including buses, is primarily used to connect the different villages and ski resorts within the Vanoise Valley. Here's an overview of how the bus system works:

1. Free Ski Bus Service

• Winter Season: During the ski season, there is a free ski bus service that runs between Termignon, the Val Cenis ski resort, and nearby areas like Lanslebourg. These buses are specifically designed to accommodate skiers and snowboarders, offering convenient access to ski lifts and slopes.
• Frequency: The buses usually run every 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the time of day. They are especially frequent during peak hours, such as early in the morning and in the afternoon, to accommodate skiers' needs.

2. Regional Bus Network

• Connections to Other Areas: The regional bus network in the area connects Termignon to nearby towns and cities, including Modane and the larger Maurienne Valley. You can catch these buses at designated stops within the village or nearby areas.
• Tickets and Timetables: Tickets are typically purchased on board or in advance at specific locations. The timetables can vary depending on the season, so it's best to check the local schedules. These buses connect to train stations and other important transit

3. Local Shuttle Buses

• Between Villages: Local shuttle buses may operate between Termignon and neighboring villages such as Lanslebourg or Lanslevillard. These are more limited and may require booking in advance, particularly in off-peak seasons or for specific events.
• Timetables: The schedules for these buses are often available at tourist information offices or can be found online for the specific region.
