Every way from Lyon to Alpe d'Huez
Private transfer
Best for: Families, groups and anyone with ski bags
A car or minivan just for your party, from the arrivals hall to your accommodation in Alpe d'Huez. The price is per vehicle, so it gets cheaper per head as your group grows: from €423 for the whole car.
Book from €423Shared shuttle or coach
Best for: Solo travellers and couples on a budget
Seat-based shuttles run to many Alpine resorts on changeover days. You pay per seat, but you wait for a fixed departure and may be dropped at a central stop. Check that ski bags are included.

Train and bus
Best for: Light packers who like public transport

Hire car

Driving 152 km into the mountains in winter means winter tyres, snow chains where required and paid parking in Alpe d'Huez. Worth it if you will use the car during the week.

Book Alpe d'Huez → LyonTips for this journey
- Give your flight number and the number of ski or snowboard bags when you book. Passenger seats and luggage space are not the same thing.
- Saturday is changeover day in most Alpine resorts, so roads and airports are at their busiest. A midweek or Sunday arrival is usually quicker.
- Use your full accommodation address. Two chalets "in Alpe d'Huez" can be far apart, and some are only reachable on foot or by a local shuttle.
