Les Deux Alpes is roughly 110 km from Grenoble Airport, and the transfer takes about an hour and three quarters in good conditions: motorway to Grenoble, the Romanche valley to Bourg-d'Oisans, then the climb above the Lac du Chambon. Montivo runs it privately, from the terminal to your door, with one price for the vehicle fixed at booking.
Arriving at Grenoble Alpes Isere
Most people flying into Grenoble in winter come at the weekend, often from a UK airport, and the terminal is small enough to feel crowded when several flights are in at once. Tell us the flight number when you book. We watch the flight, the pick-up moves if it lands early or late, and your driver meets you inside the terminal and takes you and the bags out to the vehicle. There is no border here, and no Swiss or French side to choose.
Through the Romanche valley and past the dam
From the airport the A48 runs down to Grenoble, and from the south of the city the road heads for Vizille, where the Oisans road begins. It follows the Romanche river upstream to Bourg-d'Oisans. Traffic for Alpe d'Huez turns off there; for Les Deux Alpes you carry on up the valley through a gorge, past Le Freney-d'Oisans and alongside the Lac du Chambon reservoir.
Near the Chambon dam the resort road leaves the valley and climbs in hairpins past the old village of Mont-de-Lans, arriving at about 1,650 m. It is less height than the Alpe d'Huez climb, but it is a proper mountain road, and in a snowy week it is the part that sets the pace. It is a road the drivers know well in winter.
Changeover day on the Oisans road
From the Grenoble side there is one road into the Oisans, and on a Saturday it carries the changeover for Les Deux Alpes and Alpe d'Huez together. It bunches through Bourg-d'Oisans, and Les Deux Alpes guests still have the gorge and the dam to come after that. Plan for a longer drive than the good-conditions figure; the Saturday rate reflects the extra time the vehicle is out.
Standard, VIP and bigger groups
Choose Standard for up to eight passengers, or VIP for up to seven in a higher-specification vehicle with more room per person. A larger party is priced for as many vehicles as it needs.

Price for your dateSeats for children, space for kit
Request child seats when you book, with each child's age, and there is no charge for them. Skis, snowboards and any oversized bags belong in the booking too, so the vehicle we send has space for them.
One long main street
Les Deux Alpes takes its name from two high pastures, the alps of Mont-de-Lans and Venosc, and the resort is built along a long main street between them, with side streets climbing off it. Chalets and residences run the whole length, so the resort name alone does not tell the driver where to stop. Give the full address and the name of the residence. The glacier at the top of the lifts gives the resort its long season, but on arrival day it is the street number that counts.
Leaving for the airport
The return pick-up is set from your flight: the descent to the dam, the valley road back through Bourg-d'Oisans and Vizille, the motorway to the airport and time for bag drop. On a Saturday it will be earlier than on other days, because the Oisans road is busy in both directions. If you can, book the return with the outbound; each leg is charged at its own day's rate.
