Private chauffeur from Lyon Airport (LYS) to Alpe d'Huez — ski equipment included, fixed price.
Door-to-chalet. No shared shuttles. Winter-certified drivers.
The transfer from Lyon to Alpe d'Huez covers 170 km from Lyon Airport via the A43 motorway and takes approximately 2 hours in normal conditions. Alpe d'Huez is the closest major international ski resort to Lyon — a straight shot south-east through Grenoble and up into the Oisans valley.
Unlike a shared shuttle that drops passengers at multiple hotels across the resort, our private transfer delivers you and your entire group — skis, boots, bags, and all — directly to your chalet or apartment door.
All vehicles are fitted with winter tyres and snow chains before ski season begins — not reactively.
Our drivers are certified alpine drivers with years of mountain road experience, including the hairpin descent into Bourg-d'Oisans.
Ski bags, snowboard bags, boot bags, and helmets are transported at no extra charge in every vehicle.
Tell us the number of ski sets when booking and we confirm the right vehicle size.

No dropping you 200 metres from the door with ski bags in the snow.
Your price is locked at booking. No Christmas premium, no New Year surcharge, no February half-term markup.
The rate you see when you book is the rate on your invoice.

Alpe d'Huez is one of France's most beloved ski resorts — famous for its legendary 21-hairpin ascent, 250 km of varied terrain, and more than 300 days of sunshine per year. Situated in the Oisans valley at 1860m, it links with the resorts of Vaujany, Oz, and Auris to form one of the Alps' largest ski domains.
The resort earns its "Sun Valley of the Alps" nickname through exceptional clarity at altitude. When clouds sit over Chamonix or Méribel, Alpe d'Huez is frequently bathed in sun — making it a favourite for both serious skiers and families who want reliable weather.
Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport (LYS) is the closest major international airport to Alpe d'Huez — approximately 2 hours away versus 2h30 from Geneva. Lyon Airport offers direct connections from the UK, Ireland, Scandinavia, and across Europe, often at significantly lower fares than Geneva.
For ski groups flying from the UK or Ireland, Lyon is consistently the most efficient gateway to the Oisans — particularly when you factor in the wait at Geneva's border crossing.
The famous climb from Bourg-d'Oisans to Alpe d'Huez covers 14 km and 1,100 metres of altitude via 21 numbered hairpin bends — each one named after a Tour de France stage winner. Our drivers know this ascent in every season, in every weather condition. Chains are fitted at the bottom when needed, not once we are already stuck.
We also serve the back road via Vaujany and Oz — useful when the main D211 is congested on Saturday turnaround days.
