Vaujany Airport Transfers
We don’t offer direct Vaujany airport transfers, but our service is the most economical way of doing the journey from Grenoble and Lyon Airports. Vaujany is part of the Alpe d’Huez ski area, but it is accessed by a separate road which comes up from Rochetaillee, a small hamlet on the valley floor, close to Bourg d’Oisans. Ben’s Bus transfers can take you to Rochetaillee or Bourg d’Oisans. From there you would need to make your own travel arrangements for the short journey to Vaujany.

VAUJANY SKI RESORT
Vaujany is a beautiful ski resort sitting at an altitude of 1250m. It is linked to Alpe d’Huez by ski lifts and forms part of the Grand Massif ski domain. The Telepherique Alpette will take you from Vaujany to an altitude of 2050m in about 7 min. From here you can access the whole ski area. Vaujany is very popular with families due to its tranquil environment and varied accommodation options. It retains the charm of a traditional French alpine resort, with most of the chalets built of wood and stone. It’s not exactly a party town, with very few bars, so it’s not an ideal place for young groups. It has great facilities for such a small resort, including an ice rink and a leisure centre with a swimming pool and Turkish bath.
We will drop you off at and pick you up from the main bus stop in Rochetaillee, next to the Hotel Belledonne. Expand the section below to see a map showing the bus stop. The distance to Grenoble airport is 100km and the transfer time, in good driving conditions, is usually about 1 hour 45 minutes.
