Booking our direct service to Bourg d’Oisans is the best option for Auris en Oisans. From here we would recommend a private taxi for the 30 minutes (14km) journey up to Auris. Alternatively, you could use the public bus service.
LA GRAVE
From Grenoble Airport, we run direct transfers to La Grave on Saturdays only. On all other days, or if you are flying into Lyon, we recommend booking our bus to the Lac du Chambon. Since the distance is only 10km, arranging a private taxi from there is your best option.
OZ EN OISANS
From Rochetaillee you could either use the public bus or, if you want more convenience, a private taxi. Alternatively, take the free shuttle to Allemond and then take the Eau d’Olle Express cable car. When the roads are busy, during the school holidays, this is the smart option.
SERRE CHEVALIER
We run direct transfers from Grenoble Airport to the Serre Chevalier resorts on Saturdays. On all other days, or if you are flying into Lyon, we recommend booking to the Lac du Chambon and arranging a private taxi. Alternatively, if budget is a priority, book to Bourg d’Oisans and then take a RESALP public bus.
VAUJANY
Rochetaillee is certainly the best stop to use, since getting off at Bourg d’Oisans means you’ve gone 10 minutes further in the wrong direction! From there you can either take a taxi or use the free shuttle buses run by the local municipality.
VENOSC
Some chalets in Venosc will pick you up at Bourg d’Oisans in their minibuses. If not, catch the local bus or arrange a taxi. There is also the option to use the Telecabine de Venosc which arrives just next to our Diable stop in Les 2 Alpes. However, you should check the opening times to ensure it works with our bus times.
VILLARD RECULAS
There is a road that connects Alpe d’Huez to Villard Reculas but it’s not for the faint hearted! It hugs the mountainside and is quite narrow at times, and even treacherous in snowy conditions. It’s a much safer and less stressful to book our bus to Rochetaillee and get a taxi from there.
