GETTING THERE
Nearest Airports
Approximate planning ranges; allow extra time for traffic and winter conditions.
Compare Grenoble, Lyon and Geneva connections around your complete journey to the resort. Grenoble station is a useful rail gateway, with onward buses or a prearranged transfer. The tourism office’s transport directory lists bus and private-transfer operators; check the connection to your accommodation before booking.
The final approach is a mountain-road journey on the famous 21 bends. Allow time for winter conditions and check current road and equipment guidance before departure. Once in the resort, use local transport where it suits your accommodation and chosen ski base.
