Vaujany is a satellite resort of Alpe d’Huez, connected by ski pistes but not by road. Ben’s Bus transfers from Lyon Airport will drop you at Bourg d’Oisans. This is a small town on the valley floor, close to where the road splits to go to Alpe d’Huez and Vaujany. From here you can catch connecting taxis and buses for the short trip up to Vaujany.

What if my flight is delayed?
We understand that flights can be delayed and we try to be as flexible as we can be with this. Our bus will wait for you if it can. However, we do have other customers who might have already been waiting a while so we have to consider them as well. We also need to adhere to EU regulations concerning driver hours, so our bus may have to depart on time.
If you do miss your transfer with us, if we have a later service and there is space on it, you can travel on that for free. If not, you could either take public transport or ask our team if you could get a taxi to Grenoble Airport and use one of our frequent services from there.
