The Road There
From Grenoble, the route runs south via the A480 and N85 to Bourg-d'Oisans, then the famous 21-hairpin climb (the Tour de France's Alpe d'Huez stage) to the resort.
From Geneva, the drive runs south past Chambéry and Grenoble before joining the same route through Bourg-d'Oisans.
Winter tyres or chains are compulsory equipment in winter; Vezzora's vehicles carry them.
Arriving in Alpe d'Huez
Alpe d'Huez is reachable by road year-round in normal conditions; Vezzora drops you at your accommodation's address directly.
Weekend Travel
Alpe d'Huez is not in the Tarentaise, so the N90/Albertville-Moûtiers pattern doesn't apply. Allow some extra time on peak Saturdays, particularly on the Bourg-d'Oisans climb.
How Vezzora Transfers Work
- Your chauffeur contacts you the day before to confirm the meeting point and time, so please leave a real mobile number when booking.
- Geneva arrivals are met on the Swiss side of the airport.
- Every flight is tracked, and pickup adjusts to the actual landing time. The first 60 minutes of waiting are free, counted from your flight's scheduled arrival time.
- Snow chains are fitted only when police require them, or when snow and ice make it impossible to continue safely.
- The Renault Trafic suits larger groups with skis or snowboards; the Mercedes V-Class suits couples, families and small groups.
- Weekend (+30%) and night (+20%) surcharges are shown in your quote before you book. The price is fixed once confirmed.
