Villard Reculas Airport Transfers
Although we do not offer direct Villard Reculas airport transfers, we can take you most of the way. Villard Reculas is connected by pistes to Alpe d’Huez but it is accessed by a completely separate road which comes up from Rochetaillee, a small hamlet close to Bourg d’Oisans on the valley floor. There is also a very narrow road which connects Villard Reculas to Alpe d’Huez but it is closed when there is snow, so it’s always best to use our Rochetaillee stop. From Rochetaillee you will need to make your own travel arrangements for the short journey to Villard Reculas. See the section below for more information and advice about this.
