Grenoble Airport to Les Deux Alpes Private Transfers

This makes it one of the quickest and most direct routes into the resort.

Alternate Airports For Transfers to Les Deux Alpes
Although Chambery airport is similarly close to the Alps and major resort towns (including Les Deux Alpes), it doesn’t offer the same wealth of connections, making flights and travel planning harder. Grenoble is also less susceptible to closures due to adverse weather than other regional airports, which is why it’s considered a more reliable option for travel.
Geneva airport and Lyon might boast better facilities – as well as the opportunity to visit a major European city – though they lack the same closeness to resort towns as offered by Grenoble. In summary, Grenoble Airport strikes the perfect balance between accessibility, affordable flights from a wide range of destinations and modern, reliable facilities.
How to Get From Grenoble Airport to Les Deux Alpes
Les Deux Alpes is about 70 km southeast of Grenoble by road, though most transfers cover around 110-112 km from the airport to the resort (depending on the route taken).
On leaving the airport, the most direct route joins the A48 near Moirans and continues south past Grenoble itself before merging onto the A480. From here, the road heads southeast towards Vizille, where drivers transition onto the D1091 – continuing until the town of Le Bourg-d’Oisans. Just beyond Le Bourg-d’Oisans lies the final climb up to Les Deux Alpes.
Typically, a transfer with good weather and traffic conditions will take between 1 h 40 min and 1 h 45 min by private shuttle, with the time for a shared shuttle being a little longer due to stops along the way. On weekends and during peak season, the route may take longer still.

Grenoble Airport to Les Deux Alpes Transfers FAQS
Are private transfers available from Grenoble airport to Les Deux Alpes ski resort?
Absolutely. A private transfer is one of the most – if not the most – convenient ways to get from Grenoble Airport to resort towns in the French Alps, including Les Deux Alpes. Not only will you receive a knowledgeable driver, but you’ll also get a faster transfer time and greater flexibility in case of delay or traffic. There’s also a greater allowance for skiing and snowboarding gear with a private transfer, and it often works out cheaper if you’re splitting the cost between a group.
Can I take public transport from Grenoble airport to Les Deux Alpes?
While public transport is possible from Grenoble to Les Deux Alpes, it’s less direct and more limiting in terms of your travel options. As the airport is located outside of Grenoble, you’ll first need to take a shuttle or taxi into the city centre, which can take around 45 minutes. There are then two more connections, the first to Bourg-d’Oisans and the second to Les Deux Alpes. All in all, these extra stops can add 1-2 hours to your transfer time. If bringing your own gear, you’ll also have to negotiate hauling it around the region’s public transport network.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
Most of our drivers will ask for your flight number so they can monitor for any delays in real time, adjusting their schedule accordingly. This isn’t always the case with a shared transfer, and you may have to wait until the next available shuttle or arrange alternative transport in case of a long delay. There may be some additional charge for a long wait in case of delay, which is why we’d always advise checking with your provider beforehand.
Where else can I transfer to from Grenoble airport?
Grenoble Airport is conveniently located a short drive away from the French Alps, which means it’s within touching distance of some of the region’s best resorts. That includes:
