Getting around 2 Alpes
Once you're here, how do you get from A to B? Here are a few tips.
There's plenty going on in Les 2 Alpes and we've put together this handy guide on the best way to get around so you can get to all the key places, and help you find your bearings quickly.
Les Deux Alpes has great public transport, and best of all it's free.

Buses
Once in resort, getting about is easy, with the free shuttle bus running round town all day. You can ride the buses with or without a ski pass.
One of the plus points of the 2 Alpes lift pass is the access it gives you to other resorts in the area – two days in Alpe d’Huez plus one each in Serre Chevalier, Montgenevre, Puy St Vincent and the Milky Way resorts. Whilst you can in theory take public transport to get to Serre Chevalier, in practice you’d get there with enough time to do only one run before you had to turn round and catch the bus back home.
Visiting Alpe d’Huez
If you haven’t brought a car, then realistically the only one of the resorts you're more likely to visit is Alpe d’Huez. There’s a bus service that runs every winter and tickets can be bought in advance from the VFD office on the Avenue de la Muzelle.

Driving
If you’ve come by car, it’s more than feasible to ski a different resort every day. Cut the journey time to Alpe d’Huez by heading to Auris just across the valley and starting from there.
The trip to Serre Chevalier usually takes just over an hour by car.

Taxi
There are taxi and transfer companies that run out of Les 2 Alpes, and we recommend you book them in advance to ensure availability.
Helicopter taxi
If you want a quicker trip and a cool experience, opt for the daily helicopter transfer from Cretes direct to the Altiport at Alpe d’Huez. This takes about 10 minutes and offers a breathtaking view of the Parc des Ecrins. Book it at the lift office in the middle of town, but remember that it won’t go if a) the weather’s bad or b) they don’t fill all the seats on both legs of the trip. Check it out early in the week for advice on the best day to go.

Bike
Whilst we wouldn't recommend jumping on two wheels in winter, in summer the Oisans region is very popular with bikers.
Road bikers head here to spend their days on the numerous mythical climbs and alpine passes to ‘enjoy’.
For those who prefer mountain biking, Les 2 Alpes has one of the biggest bike parks in the Alps that's renowned throughout Europe. Whether you're an amateur or expert you'll be able to enjoy the routes and fun modules for all levels.

On foot
The village itself is easy enough to walk around and in summer hiking is very popular with plenty of routes highlighted.
Rézo Pouce
The communes of the Oisans region is launching an organised hitch-hiking scheme to extend the range of travel options, particularly for seasonal workers and visitors to the area. There are several Rézo Pouce stops in the area, notably on the D530 at Venosc and the D213 at Mont de Lans Village, Le Chambon and Bons.
