Involving a taxi ride to the train station, train trip, getting off at the right station (I've screwed this up in a foreign country before), finding another taxi that will take you where you want to go (not always the case in small towns) and getting up there. If you're already going to a ski resort in France you probably have the money to skip all of this, 3x isn't that much when you're an exploiter.
When you're in a small town, and you want one to take you up a mountain, good luck with that. Hope you're arriving in the middle of the day. What if you get there at 10pm?
Legit question: how easy is it to get to french skiing resorts/parks via train? I know northern Italy and Austria are kind of a pain to get there without a car, I suspect because either only locals who own cars go (it's impossible to live in the alps without a car unless you live in like Switzerland or something), or rich-ass people who can afford to drive/hire a cab (trains are still the more affordable option to move around).
I went a couple times, there are discounts for students in my regions and you only pay 40€ for train+ski ticket+train back but it isn't a big bougie resort like in the alps idk about those
insane, they must've payed 3x the cost of a AT MOST 3h train ride

Taxis hang out outside train stations.
It is not that hard.
This is something you only do if you do not care about money.
