Local buses

Once in resort, getting about is easy, with the free shuttle bus running all day. You can ride the buses with or without a ski pass.

Driving around resort

Whilst it’s tempting to drive to the nearby resorts, parking can be difficult during peak seasons and it’s not exactly ideal for the environment. If you do drive, carpool, pick up hitchhikers when possible and ensure your vehicle has winter tyres or chains between late November and early April.

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.

Cycling around Deux Alpes

It's small enough that you won't need a bike to pootle around on, and whilst we wouldn't recommend jumping on two wheels in winter, in summer the Oisans region is very popular with mountain and road bikers.

On foot

The resort itself is easy enough to walk around on foot. In winter you may wish to put on walking spikes that wrap around your boots to avoid slipping on the pavements.
