Private Transfer vs. Other Options

Shared shuttles from BGY to Macugnaga run on fixed schedules and often serve multiple resorts, so journey time can stretch and you may wait for other passengers. With ski gear and luggage, a private vehicle is more comfortable. We track your flight and adjust pickup at no extra charge if you are delayed.

Public transport from Bergamo to Macugnaga requires train and bus connections and takes 4+ hours; with skis and bags it is impractical. Car hire means fuel, tolls, and winter driving after a long flight. A private transfer delivers you door-to-door in one vehicle with meet-and-greet and 60 minutes' waiting time included.
