Shared vs private transfers
Shared transfers to Morzine
You'll be on a bus with passengers arriving at the airport at a similar time to you.
These tend to be cheaper, although you might have to wait a little while before your bus leaves (typically not more than an hour).
If your transfer is a door-to-door service, you may also have to wait for other passengers to be dropped off in resort. On the plus side, you'll get to discover parts of Morzine you didn't know existed.
Private transfers
You or your group travel alone.
With this type of transfer, there's no waiting around. You can leave the airport as soon as you've cleared customs. The down side is that this is a much more expensive way to travel, and private transfers are not always available.
Using public transport can help keep the costs down on your trip to Morzine. However, it can take considerably longer than a shared or private transfer as buses usually stop several times along the way and you will need to make a connection in Cluses or Thonon, the nearest transport hubs in the area.
