What does it cost from Grenoble to Alpe d'Huez, Les Deux Alpes or my apartment in the Oisans?

What's the price from Grenoble to Alpe d'Huez, Les Deux Alpes or my apartment in the Oisans?

Prices vary by route, vehicle, season, and time of day. Enter your dates and party size above to see your fixed quoted price for the exact journey.

What's included in my fixed Grenoble price?

Your quoted price covers vehicle hire, fuel, the driver's service fee (tips), tolls, parking, taxes, and any entry, congestion or airport-access fees on the route. There's nothing extra to pay the driver on arrival.

What's NOT included in a Grenoble transfer — what could cost extra?

Charged separately and disclosed before they apply: overtime fees if your trip runs longer than reserved, excess-mileage fees if you exceed your booked distance, night-time service fees on some routes (22:00–08:00), holiday or event surcharges in some regions, additional child seats beyond the first one (which is free), and extra stops you add during the ride.

Will the quoted price change between booking and travel?

No. Once your booking is confirmed, your price is locked — it's what you pay regardless of demand, season or currency changes between today and your travel date. Booking early is the surest way to secure today's rate.

Will I pay anything to the driver on arrival at Grenoble?

No. Your fare is paid in full at booking and covers everything the driver's owed — tips, tolls, fuel, taxes, parking. Bookings are pre-paid via credit card, debit card, or PayPal on the hoppa platform. The only reasons your final charge could differ from the quote are changes you make on the day (extra stops, route changes) or fees for damage or smoking, which are disclosed in our terms.

Are there night-time or holiday surcharges at Grenoble?

Some services include a night-time fee for travel between 22:00 and 08:00, and prices may adjust on local holidays. Both are always reflected in the quote you see before paying — there's nothing additional charged at the trip itself.

Can I tip the driver?

Tipping is entirely at your discretion. The driver's service fee is already included in your fare, so a tip is appreciated but never expected.

Do prices change for larger group sizes?

Rates are set per vehicle category, not per person. Moving up to a larger vehicle to fit a bigger party or extra baggage is reflected in the fixed quote you see at booking.

I think I was overcharged

Disputes must be raised within 14 days of the charge date by emailing customer service with your card statement and a brief explanation. After 14 days, charges are considered final.

Which vehicle fits my group at Grenoble?

How many people and how much luggage fit in each vehicle from Grenoble?

Vehicle categories include Sedan, Business Sedan, Minivan, Business Minivan, Minibus and Bus. Each has a strict insured maximum for passengers and luggage that drivers must adhere to. Default luggage allowance is one 24-inch suitcase per passenger — bags larger than 24″ count as two pieces. Choose a category that fits both your party and your bags.

Will I get the exact car shown in the picture?

Vehicle images are for illustration only. You're booking a category, not a specific model — and we may upgrade you to a higher category at no extra charge if your selected one isn't available.

Can I share a transfer from Grenoble with other passengers?

No. Every vehicle on this route carries your party only, so there are no extra pickups and no waiting at the airport for strangers. You are driven straight to your door.

The fare is per vehicle, not per person. Four people splitting one car each pay a quarter of the price you see.

Can I add a child seat to my Grenoble transfer?

Yes. We offer infant carriers, baby seats and boosters depending on your supplier and route. Add the seat type you need during booking so it can be confirmed in advance.

How much does a child seat cost?

The first child seat in your booking is included free. Any additional seats may carry a fee from the supplier — the exact amount is shown in your booking quote before you pay, so there are no surprises.

I forgot to request a child seat — can I add it after booking?

Yes. Contact customer service as soon as possible to add it to your booking. Late requests are honoured subject to availability, so the sooner you ask, the better. Important: no refund or replacement applies if a driver arrives without a seat that wasn't requested in time.

Is my child seat guaranteed once I've added it to my booking?

If you've added the seat at the time of booking, it's confirmed with your transport supplier. Seats requested after the booking is placed are subject to availability. If a seat ends up unavailable on arrival because it wasn't requested in time, no refund applies.

Can I bring a pet or service animal?

Yes, at no extra charge. Notify us at booking so the right vehicle is allocated. Important: animals count toward the vehicle's passenger capacity — so a 5-seat vehicle with two pets has three human seats.

Do you have wheelchair-accessible options at Grenoble?

Yes. Note any accessibility need (wheelchair, mobility scooter, special assistance) in the booking comments. We work with specialised partners and make reasonable efforts to accommodate.

What if my flight into Grenoble is delayed?

Will my driver wait at Grenoble if my flight is late?

Yes. Your driver waits up to 60 minutes free after your scheduled arrival for airport pickups. For international flights, there's also a 30-minute buffer added on top — so your driver's free waiting period starts after that buffer ends.

What if my flight is delayed by more than 2 hours?

Contact customer service to reschedule. If we can't pick you up at the new time, the order is cancelled without charge.

What if my flight is cancelled entirely?

Your transfer is cancelled free of charge. Contact customer service immediately so we can update the booking.

What if my flight is diverted away from Grenoble?

Contact us immediately. We'll do our best to reschedule your pickup — though we can't guarantee a free transfer if the new airport is in a different region or significantly further from your destination.

Where will I meet my driver at Grenoble?

24 hours before pickup we send a final SMS or WhatsApp with the exact meeting point and your driver's contact details. Meet & greet at the arrival gate is available on request, subject to airport policy — if not possible at the gate, we'll assign an alternative meeting point.

What if I'm stuck inside Grenoble Airport (luggage, immigration)?

Use the emergency number on your e-ticket to call the driver or local supplier and let them know you're still in the terminal. The driver will wait through their free period and, if reached in time, can sometimes extend.

What counts as a no-show?

Not appearing within the free waiting period and being unreachable for additional time. No-shows are charged in full and non-refundable.

Best price & current deals for Grenoble

Where can I find a discount code?

Active offers are applied automatically when you search — there's nothing to enter manually. To see what's currently running, check our discount codes page or our homepage banner.

Should I book my Grenoble transfer early?

Yes. We recommend booking at least 24 hours in advance for the best vehicle selection. Bookings within 24 hours are subject to availability and may carry an expedited service fee. Booking early also locks in today's price.

Is there a low-deposit option?

On selected services and destinations, yes — pay a deposit now and the balance before your travel date. If the balance isn't paid in time the booking auto-cancels and the deposit is forfeited. Note: low-deposit bookings can't be paid with hoppa Credits.

What is Refund Protect?

An optional add-on at checkout from our partner Refund Protect. If you (or anyone in your party) can't attend for a covered reason, you receive 100% of your booking back. Refund Protect's decision is final — see their full terms when adding the option.

Can I use hoppa Credits from a previous booking?

Yes. hoppa Credits apply automatically to your next booking when you log in with the same email. They expire 12 months after issue, can't be transferred between accounts, and can't be combined with low-deposit bookings.

Can I cancel my Grenoble transfer and get a refund?

Yes, depending on timing and vehicle size. Up to 7 seats: free cancellation at least 24 hours before pickup; 100% charge less than 24 hours before. 8–14 seats: free at least 48 hours before pickup. 16+ seats: free at least 14 days before pickup, 50% back less than 14 days but more than 7 days, no refund less than 7 days before pickup. Approved refunds reach your original payment method in 5 to 7 business days.

What are hoppa Credits?

Credit issued on refunds or as a goodwill gesture. They apply automatically to your next booking when you log in with the same email, expire 12 months after issue, can't be transferred, and can't be combined with low-deposit bookings.

Yes, but only for: passenger names, contact numbers, number of passengers, and luggage count (within the booked vehicle's capacity). One free modification is allowed if your booking is eligible. For other changes — including route, vehicle category or pickup point — you'll need to cancel and rebook at the current price.

How long do refunds take to process?

How much is a taxi from Grenoble Airport to Alpe d'Huez, Les Deux Alpes or Grenoble?

The name hides the geography. This airport stands at Saint-Étienne-de-Saint-Geoirs, 41 km out in the Isère farmland, and the resorts sit up a valley on the far side of Grenoble, so the journey is two legs stitched together and the second one finishes in hairpins.

Settle the number before you fly. A Grenoble airport to Alpe d'Huez transfer is £381 in a private car for up to three passengers, and Les Deux Alpes matches it at £381, since both turn off the same valley road ten minutes apart. Vaujany runs £295. Over in the Tarentaise, Val Thorens is £455 and Val d'Isère £513. Prices are indicative. Your exact fare shows at booking.

A cheap ski transfer has stopped costing anything by the time you reach the lift pass office. You get one figure agreed in pounds, free cancellation up to 24 hours before travel, and a vetted local operator who drives the Oisans climbs all winter.

Grenoble and its station are £196, about three quarters of an hour south. Four of you fit the MPV at £279 on that run, which is the sensible step up rather than the eight-seater.

Destination	Journey time	Private car (up to 3)	Minibus (up to 8)
Grenoble Airport to Grenoble and the train station	45 min to 1 hr	from £196	from £519
Up the Romanche into the Oisans first, then the long way round to the Tarentaise
Grenoble Airport to Alpe d'Huez	1 hr 30 to 1 hr 50	from £381	from £479
Grenoble Airport to Les Deux Alpes	1 hr 30 to 1 hr 50	from £381	from £479
Grenoble Airport to Vaujany and Oz-en-Oisans	1 hr 35 to 1 hr 55	from £295	from £425
Grenoble Airport to Chamonix-Mont-Blanc	2 hr 15 to 2 hr 45	from £513	from £705
Grenoble Airport to Val Thorens	2 hr 15 to 2 hr 40	from £455	from £525
Grenoble Airport to La Plagne and Montchavin	2 hr 30 to 2 hr 55	from £455	from £525
Grenoble Airport to Tignes and Val Claret	2 hr 30 to 3 hr	from £455	from £525
Grenoble Airport to Val d'Isère	2 hr 30 to 3 hr	from £513	from £655

Will my driver be waiting if my flight into Grenoble lands late?

Grenoble opens properly for about four months and spends the rest of the year quiet. On a January Saturday three charters land close together into one modest hall, and the oversized belt gives up the ski bags in its own time. The question that follows is whether the car will still be outside by the time you get through it.

Your driver tracks the flight from pushback in the UK, so a slipping landing time pulls the pick-up along with it. You get up to 60 minutes of free waiting after your flight lands. On an international arrival a 30-minute buffer is added before the waiting time starts, which covers the wait for the ski bags.

Landing in the dark changes nothing about the price, since a night arrival was costed on the day you booked. If you still cannot find your driver in a hall full of ski bags, stay where you are and ring the number on the e-ticket. Somebody picks up in an average of 11 seconds.

Which Grenoble transfer is right for you?

Your numbers choose the vehicle and your kit decides its size. Two of you to a studio in Les Deux Alpes want a saloon and an hour and a half. Five with skis want the step up, and a whole apartment block travels better as one minibus than as three cars arriving twenty minutes apart. The three common cases run like this.

Three travellers with cabin bags only: a private car. Nothing reaches an Oisans address for less.
Four to seven with ski kit: an MPV or an eight-seat minibus, usually within a few pounds of each other on this route. Check both.
Eight or more to the same building: a minibus or a coach, with one fare divided between you.

Your travel style	Recommended service	Why it works
Skis, boards and boot bags	Private car, MPV or minibus	Give the number of pairs when you book and the boot space is reserved for them. Skis count as luggage, not as an extra. Declare eight sets and eight sets travel together; leave them off and a driver can only fit what fits.
A couple heading for the Oisans	A private car for up to 3	One fare from the terminal door to the apartment block, settled before you fly. Your afternoon belongs to you rather than to a departure board.
Family of four or five, self-catering	Private MPV or minibus	Boot bags, a week of shopping and a pushchair all go in once. Check both sizes at booking, since the two sit within a few pounds on most of these roads. Your first child seat costs nothing.
Apartment party of six to sixteen	Private minibus	Everyone arrives at the same address at the same moment, splitting one fare. Nobody hangs about outside a lift station waiting on a second vehicle.
School ski week or university club	Private coach, up to 60	The whole group travels on one fixed price with the kit counted in. Confirm the final headcount at booking so the right coach is the one that meets you.
Wheelchair user	Wheelchair-accessible minibus	Lift-equipped and pre-booked to your arrival time, seating 1 to 6 passengers. Flag it at booking so the adapted vehicle is the one that comes.

Is hoppa cheaper than hiring a car at Grenoble Airport?

A hire car beats a transfer in the search box at this airport, so it is worth setting out the whole bill.

The daily rate is the part you see. Winter tyres or chains are compulsory on these roads from November and they rarely sit inside the headline price.
Resort parking runs all week in Alpe d'Huez and Les Deux Alpes, and the cheap spaces are the ones furthest from your door with your luggage.
The drive itself is 21 numbered hairpins in an unfamiliar car, in the dark, after an 04:00 start and a full airport day.
The car then sits outside for six days while you ski, and you drive it back down on the morning you fly.

Set that against the arithmetic. Four people to Alpe d'Huez take the MPV at £476, about £119 each, dropped at the building. Four to Val d'Isère come in at £655, roughly £164 a head on a much longer road. Nobody parks anything, nobody fits a chain, and the climb is driven by somebody who did it yesterday.

Transport option	Indicative price to Alpe d'Huez	Journey time	What is included and what to watch for
hoppa private car (up to 3)	from £381	1 hr 30 to 1 hr 50	Fixed all-in price, terminal to apartment door. A named driver meets you in arrivals and you cancel free up to 24 hours before travel.
hoppa MPV or minibus (5 to 8)	from £476	1 hr 30 to 1 hr 50	Party and kit in one vehicle on a single fare. Count the ski bags at booking so the right size turns up.
hoppa private coach (up to 60)	Priced per group at booking	1 hr 30 to 1 hr 50	School weeks, university clubs and company trips move on one fixed price. Headcount and kit count are set when you book.
Hire car for the week	Daily rate plus the winter extras	1 hr 45 and up	Winter tyres, chains, the young-driver loading and a week of resort parking all land on top. You drive 21 hairpins in an unfamiliar car at the end of a travel day, then leave it parked for six.
Seasonal resort coach	Sold by the seat, each way	2 hr 30 and up	Runs to a published winter timetable rather than to your landing time. Miss the departure after a delay and the next one may be the following day.
Taxi from the airport rank	Metered, agreed with nobody	1 hr 45 and up	A handful of cars meet a full charter. The meter runs the valley and the hairpins, and the total lands in euros at the door.
Train, via Grenoble station	Per person, plus 41 km to reach it	4 hr and up with the changes	No line reaches this terminal. You pay to get into Grenoble, then take a bus up the Romanche, with the ski bags on your shoulder at every change.

Watch the hidden cost: a winter mountain bill arrives in instalments. Chains and winter tyres go on the hire agreement, parking goes on the week, and a meter keeps counting through every hairpin above Le Bourg-d'Oisans. A seat on a timetabled coach costs you the wait after a delayed landing. Your hoppa fare is settled in sterling before you fly, and cancellation stays free up to 24 hours before travel.

How to book your Grenoble airport transfer with hoppa

Takes under two minutes to complete.

Book Now

Search by flight or route

Enter Grenoble Airport as your pick-up, then the apartment, chalet or hotel address. In Les Deux Alpes the end of the street matters, and in Alpe d'Huez the building name does. Add your flight number and hoppa tracks it automatically.

Choose your vehicle

Compare private car, MPV, minibus and coach side by side on fixed all-in prices. The airport pick-up charge, the French tolls and any night-time period are already in the fare, and the vehicle types page shows seats and luggage for each.

Add extras

Give the number of skis, boards and boot bags travelling with you. Request child seats (the first is free) or the refundable upgrade. The vehicle extras page lists what you can add.

Confirmed instantly

Your e-ticket arrives with your driver's name, vehicle registration, photo and exact meeting point at Grenoble, inside the arrivals hall for cars and minibuses and the coach park for coaches.

A few things worth knowing before you book:

Six details decide whether your booking runs smoothly, so check them before you pay.

The first child seat is free with every hoppa transfer. Request it at booking: the vehicle extras page shows the seats and boosters you can add, and a seat that is not on the booking can mean a refused ride with no refund.
Your fixed price is all-in: the airport pick-up fee, the motorway tolls down the A48, plus any night-time period between 22:00 and 08:00. There is nothing extra to pay the driver.
Each passenger gets one case up to 24 inches. A bag over 24 inches counts as two pieces, so size up on the vehicle types page if you travel heavy. Add the ski and board bags to your luggage count at booking.
Free cancellation applies up to 24 hours before travel on cars up to 7 seats, 48 hours before on 8 to 14 seaters and 14 days before on 16 seats and above. On a 16+ seater you get half the booking value back when you cancel less than 14 days but more than 7 days before pick-up, and nothing back less than 7 days before. The hoppa help centre walks you through a cancellation or a change.
Pets and service animals are welcome. They count toward the vehicle's passenger capacity, so flag them at booking.
Book inside 24 hours of travel and an expedited booking fee applies, so the day before is the cheapest moment to lock it in.

The Oisans, not the Tarentaise

Grenoble is an Oisans airport. The road runs past the city, up the Romanche through Vizille, and reaches Le Bourg-d'Oisans on the valley floor. From that one roundabout the climbs split: left and up for Alpe d'Huez, straight on and up for Les Deux Alpes, north up the Eau d'Olle for Vaujany. The Tarentaise resorts are reachable from here, and they are a longer way round than the map suggests.

Stunning view of snowcapped mountains in Saint-Gervais-les-Bains, France. Perfect skiing destination.

Alpe d'Huez: 21 hairpins above Le Bourg-d'Oisans

The climb is the famous one, numbered in descending order with a Tour de France stage winner on every corner. At the top sits a wide sunny resort at 1,850 metres with a glacier above it and 250 km of linked piste. Auris, Oz and Villard-Reculas hang off the same lift pass at lower altitudes. The final 13 km takes a good half hour on its own, so give your driver the building name rather than the resort.

Aerial view of snow-covered ski slopes and lifts in Les Contamines-Montjoie, France.

Les Deux Alpes: one street under a glacier

Across the valley from Alpe d'Huez and the same distance from the airport, Les Deux Alpes is essentially a single long street at 1,650 metres with skiing up to 3,600 on the glacier. That altitude is why it opens early and closes late, and why summer skiing happens here at all. Say which end of the street you are staying on. Walking it with boot bags takes twenty-five minutes.

Charming mountain village nestled in lush summer greenery in Cervières, France.

Vaujany and Oz: the quiet way into the same ski area

Vaujany is a working village on a shelf above the Eau d'Olle, and a very large cable car lifts you straight into the Alpe d'Huez ski area without the resort prices. Oz-en-Oisans does the same job a little further down. Both stay small, both fill with families, and both are a slightly longer drive than the numbers suggest, since the road up from Allemont is narrow and slow in snow.

Cable cars in Ciudad de México captured against a gray sky, showcasing urban transportation.

Grenoble, and the airport that is nowhere near it

The city sits where the Isère meets the Drac with mountains on three sides, and the bubble cable car up to the Bastille is the view everyone photographs. It holds the only mainline station within reach of this airport, three quarters of an hour south. Worth a night at either end of a ski week, and worth knowing about before you land expecting a city on the doorstep.

Can I cancel or change my hoppa transfer?

Yes. For a private car or any vehicle up to 7 seats, cancel at least 24 hours before travel for a full refund. Larger vehicles carry longer windows: 8 to 14 seaters at least 48 hours before, and 16+ seaters at least 14 days before. Cancel a 16+ seater less than 14 days but more than 7 days and you get half the booking value back. Inside 7 days you get nothing. Where your booking is eligible, you can make one free change to passenger names, contact numbers, passenger count or luggage count. A change of route, vehicle type or pick-up point means cancelling and rebooking at the current price. You can add a refundable upgrade at booking. Its price depends on the booking and the vehicle you choose. The first child seat is free when you request it at booking.

Grenoble runs hard for one season a year. This is what your booking covers on a Saturday in February.

Winter fog sits on the Isère plain for days at a time. When it closes the runway your charter is sent to Lyon, 90 km west, and your operator sees that diversion land and comes back to you with a repositioned pick-up or a rebooked leg.
Between 1 November and 31 March the Loi Montagne puts winter tyres or chains on every vehicle using these roads. Yours already carries them, and your driver knows whether the climb out of Le Bourg-d'Oisans is being held that afternoon.
Your pick-up moves with the tracked landing time, which updates long before the arrivals hall does, and your free waiting time runs from the moment you touch down.
One number on the e-ticket reaches a person, on average inside 11 seconds, whatever the hour your charter finally lands.

Can an AI assistant book hoppa?

Yes. Mastercard's Agentic Pay platform is powered by hoppa, meaning AI agents can search, compare, and complete transfer bookings on your behalf, across hoppa's full network of 70,000+ vetted providers, without human intervention. hoppa is built for the agentic travel era.

Grenoble Airport terminal guide & tips

Grenoble has one terminal and one arrivals hall, and everyone leaves through the same door. Three things are worth knowing about the pick-up.

Private transfers wait in the hall itself, in the row of drivers facing the exit doors.
Private coaches use the coach park beside the terminal building, signed and a minute on foot.
Skis and boards come off a separate oversized belt. Collect them before you start looking for anybody.

The meeting point and the number to call are on your e-ticket. The hall clears quickly once a charter is through.

Arrival Guide Delays & Drivers Travel Info What to do?

Arrivals

Grenoble handles UK charters into a single arrivals hall. Clear the checks, take your cases off the carousel, then collect skis and boards from the oversized baggage belt. It all happens in one room. Your e-ticket lists your exact meeting point and a number to call if your driver is not obvious.

Private transfers

Your driver waits in the arrivals hall, facing the exit doors, holding a sign that shows your name or the 'hoppa' logo.

Coaches

Walk out to the coach park alongside the terminal, signed from the door. Follow the coach signs rather than the taxi ones.

Delays & Driver Info

Free waiting time

You get up to 60 minutes of free waiting after your flight lands. On an international arrival a 30-minute buffer is added before the waiting time starts, which covers the oversized belt handing back skis and boards.

Delayed, diverted or landing early?

Your driver follows your flight from the moment you board. Plain fog sends Grenoble arrivals to Lyon in midwinter, and your driver sees it before the hall does. They will contact you to reposition or rebook. A delayed flight simply moves your pick-up, with nothing for you to do.

Can't find your driver?

Stay inside the arrivals hall and call the number on your e-ticket. hoppa's team picks up in an average of 11 seconds, a 99.7% call answer rate: a real person, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The hoppa help centre answers most questions before you need to call.

General Travel Information

€

Currency & tipping

The Isère runs on euros. Prices on this page are shown in pounds. Tipping is not expected, and your hoppa price is agreed in advance, so there is nothing to hand over at the apartment.

Peak traffic

Saturday is changeover day across the Alps. The N91 up the Romanche fills from 09:00 and stays busy past 17:00 through the school holidays. The pinch point is Le Bourg-d'Oisans, where the Alpe d'Huez and Les Deux Alpes climbs both begin. Allow half an hour more than a midweek run.

Avoid unofficial taxis

Ignore anyone in the hall offering a 'good price to the resort.' Your driver is holding your surname. The marked official rank is outside if you want a metered French taxi.

Honest alternative

No railway reaches this terminal, and the airport is 41 km from Grenoble. The station in the city is three quarters of an hour away by road, with a bus up the Romanche after that. Every journey from here begins on tarmac.

What to do around Grenoble?

If your flight home leaves late in the day, the city is close enough to be worth the detour.

The Bastille cable car lifts you out of the city centre in glass bubbles, and the fort at the top looks straight down the Isère valley.
Grenoble's old quarter around Place Saint-André is twenty minutes on foot end to end, with the Musée de Grenoble and its Matisse collection on the river.
Vizille sits on the road to the mountains, where the château and its park hold the museum of the French Revolution and are free to walk around.

When does the car need to pull away from the apartment on changeover day?

Book your return from Alpe d'Huez, Les Deux Alpes, Vaujany or Val Thorens to Grenoble Airport!

Buy the homeward leg in the same basket and somebody is outside at the time you name. The vehicle holds free for up to 15 minutes past it, so have the skis and the boot bags down at street level.

Then count backwards generously. Ninety minutes inside the terminal covers a UK charter, and the descent takes roughly ninety more from Alpe d'Huez or Les Deux Alpes, nearer two and a half hours from Val d'Isère. Fresh snow slows the drop off both Oisans resorts, and every apartment block in the valley empties on the same Saturday morning.

Ready to book your Grenoble airport transfer?

There is a version of the first day that goes well. You land, somebody is holding your name, and ninety minutes later the bags are in the apartment while the lifts are still turning.

The other version starts at a hire desk queue, moves on to a chain fitting you have never done before, and finishes with 21 hairpins in the dark at the end of a long day. Booking the transfer takes that version off the table.

Grenoble airport transfers: Frequently asked questions

How much is a transfer from Grenoble Airport to Alpe d'Huez?

£381 all-in puts up to three of you in a private car, with eight-seaters from £479. The drive runs up the Romanche to Le Bourg-d'Oisans, then climbs 21 numbered hairpins over the last 13 km. Give the building or hamlet name, since Auris, Oz and Villard-Reculas sit on different roads off the same pass. Prices are indicative.

How much is a transfer from Grenoble Airport to Les Deux Alpes?

The same £381 in a private car for three, with a minibus from £479. Alpe d'Huez and Les Deux Alpes turn off the valley road about ten minutes apart, which is why the fare matches. The resort is one long street, so say whether you are at the lift end or the far end. Prices are indicative.

How much is a transfer from Grenoble Airport to Val Thorens, Tignes or Val d'Isère?

Val Thorens costs £455 in a private car for up to three, Tignes £455 and Val d'Isère £513. These are the long legs from this airport, back out of the Isère and round into the Tarentaise. A minibus to Val d'Isère starts at £655, which seats eight. Prices are indicative.

How long is the transfer from Grenoble Airport to Alpe d'Huez and Les Deux Alpes?

Both take about an hour and a half in clear conditions, and closer to two on a changeover Saturday. The valley section is quick. The climbs are not, and the final ascent to either resort is a good half hour on its own. Fresh snow and a chain check at Le Bourg-d'Oisans add to that, and your driver plans the departure around it.

Is Grenoble the closest airport to Alpe d'Huez and Les Deux Alpes?

Yes, comfortably. Both are about ninety minutes from Grenoble against three hours or more from Geneva or Lyon. That gap is the reason UK ski charters fly into this runway at all. For the Tarentaise the answer flips, and Chambéry or Geneva will usually beat it.

Can I take skis, a snowboard and boot bags in a hoppa transfer?

Yes. Give the number of pairs and the number of boot bags at booking, and the vehicle that turns up has the room built in. Skis ride as luggage with nothing added to the fare for carrying them. Eight declared sets travel together; eight undeclared ones will not, and the driver cannot fix that in the car park.

Will I be sharing the vehicle with anyone else?

No. Grenoble runs private only. The vehicle carries your party and nobody else, and it stops at one address. A seasonal resort coach is the shared option, on a published timetable. Four of you in an MPV to Alpe d'Huez at £476 works out around £119 each, door to door, leaving when your plane actually landed.

Is there a train or a bus from the airport up into the Oisans?

No line reaches the terminal, and the airport is 41 km from the city. Reaching Grenoble station takes about three quarters of an hour by road, and the resort buses up the Romanche go from there rather than from here. Carrying ski kit through two changes is the part people underestimate.

Where do I meet my driver at Grenoble Airport?

Your driver stands in the one arrivals hall this airport has, facing the exit doors. Watch for a sign carrying your surname or the hoppa logo. Pick your skis and boards off the oversized belt before anything else, since that is the slow part of the arrival. Larger vehicles pull up outside in the coach park, and the exact spot is printed on your e-ticket.

Will my driver wait if my flight into Grenoble is delayed or diverted?

Yes. The clock that counts is the one in the tower, not the one on your booking confirmation. You get up to 60 minutes of free waiting after your flight lands. On an international arrival a 30-minute buffer is added before the waiting time starts. Fog over the plain can put a midwinter charter into Lyon. Your operator rings you and sorts the new leg out.

Do I need snow chains or winter tyres for a transfer to Alpe d'Huez?

Your driver handles all of it. The Loi Montagne covers these roads between 1 November and 31 March, and every vehicle working the Oisans carries the kit as standard. Rent a car instead and the tyres, the fines and a roadside chain fitting on hairpin 14 all become your problem. The figure on your confirmation does not move for any of it.

Is it cheaper to hire a car at Grenoble Airport than to book a transfer?

Compare the whole week, not the daily rate. Winter tyres or chains, the fuel, a week of resort parking and the drive up 21 hairpins after a travel day all belong in the sum. Four people to Alpe d'Huez pay £476 each way, about £119 a head, and nobody drives. A hire car earns its keep if you plan to tour the region; for one resort and one week it rarely does.

Can I book my apartment-to-airport leg back to Grenoble as well?

Yes. Put the apartment or chalet in the pick-up box, Grenoble Airport in the drop-off box, and that fare is agreed at booking in the same way. Your driver turns up at the hour you give and waits 15 minutes free beyond it. Allow ninety minutes at the terminal for a UK charter, plus the descent, plus a margin on changeover Saturday.

Can I book one vehicle for a school group or a whole apartment block?

Yes. A private minibus carries up to 22 passengers with one bag each, and a private coach seats up to 60, so sixteen from one club, or three families who have taken a chalet between them, travels together on one fixed all-in price. Give your final headcount and luggage count at booking so the right size meets you. Larger vehicles carry longer cancellation windows: 48 hours for 8 to 14 seaters and 14 days for 16 seats and above. Cancel a 16+ seater less than 14 days but more than 7 days and you get half the booking value back. Inside 7 days you get nothing.

Does the Grenoble transfer price include tolls and the night-time surcharge?

Yes. Your hoppa price is all-in. The airport pick-up fee and the French motorway tolls are inside it, and so is any night-time period between 22:00 and 08:00. You pay in pounds at booking and there is nothing to settle in euros at the apartment.

Can I add a child seat to my Grenoble transfer?

Yes. The first child seat is free with every hoppa transfer. Request it at booking, with your child's age, so the driver fits it before you land. A seat that is not on the booking can mean a refused ride with no refund, so add it when you book rather than on the day.

Can I cancel or change my Grenoble transfer?

Yes. For cars and vehicles up to 7 seats, cancel at least 24 hours before travel for a full refund. For 8 to 14 seat vehicles the window is 48 hours, and for 16 seats and above it is 14 days. Cancel a 16+ seater less than 14 days but more than 7 days and you get half the booking value back. Inside 7 days you get nothing. Where your booking is eligible, you can make one free change to passenger names, contact numbers, passenger count or luggage count. A change of route, vehicle type or pick-up point means cancelling and rebooking at the current price.

Do I pay the driver on arrival?

No. You pay in full at booking and your e-ticket is your receipt. hoppa accepts Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro and PayPal at checkout. The driver has nothing to collect. Nobody in France expects a tip on top of that.
