From 1 December 2025, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hautetarentaise.fr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Haute Tarentaise <\/a>has a mountain bus service that operates 7 days a week, all year round, linking the lower and upper parts of the valley without interruption, including on public holidays.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Behind this seemingly technical change lies a clear ambition: to make it easier for local residents, seasonal workers and visitors to get around on a daily basis, while laying the foundations for more sustainable mobility in the mountains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A continuous link between the valley and the resorts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Routes S82 and S83 now provide daily services between Bourg-Saint-Maurice, S\u00e9ez centre, Sainte-Foy-Tarentaise, Tignes 1800 and Val d'Is\u00e8re, in both directions and without interruption throughout the year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>READ MORE:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/petit-montagnard.fr\/en\/making-our-region-accessible-to-a-more-modest-clientele-guillaume-desrues-in-le-petit-montagnard\/\">\u2018Making our region accessible to a more modest clientele\u2019: Guillaume Desrues in Le Petit Montagnard<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Until now, these routes have been largely seasonal, designed primarily for the winter tourist peaks. The fact that they now operate 365 days a year marks a turning point. The mountains are no longer just an area of occasional traffic, but a structured living space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A price offer designed for all uses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To keep pace with these changes, the Haute Tarentaise Community of Communes has introduced a number of ticket options, tailored to the needs of both regular and occasional users. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Single ticket<\/strong>, available from the driver, at the bus station or online<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Book of 10 tickets<\/strong> : 30 \u20ac <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Monthly subscription <\/strong>: 62 \u20ac<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Season subscription<\/strong> : 160 \u20ac<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>One point that is often overlooked is that employers can pay 50 % of the cost of season tickets, a significant benefit for seasonal workers and the local workforce. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do I buy tickets?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Booklets of 10 tickets require a special procedure. A form must be filled in at the town halls concerned, before payment and collection at the Bourg-Saint-Maurice bus station or directly from the driver. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>READ MORE: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/petit-montagnard.fr\/en\/from-beaufort-to-the-peddlers-when-the-bourg-saint-maurice-valley-lived-to-the-rhythm-of-trade\/\">From Beaufort to peddlers: when the Bourg Saint Maurice valley lived to the rhythm of trade<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Season tickets can be purchased online or by telephone.
