Getting here
Our chalet is at 1 rue du Fartail, 38860 Les Deux Alpes, France, in the Alpe de Venosc area, in the upper resort of Les 2 Alpes. GPS coordinates: 45.0029356, 6.1223842.
Your arrival
You arrive from 4 pm (self check-in using a key box): no need to book a meeting time or rush on the road. The chalet guide and arrival instructions are sent to you by WhatsApp about 60 days before your stay. Check-out is at 10 am.
On arrival, you collect the key from the key box. You enter and leave only through the garage door: handy for skis and boots, which are stored and dried in the garage.
The chalet has 3 private parking spaces in front of the chalet and an adjoining lock-up garage with ski storage and boot dryers for the whole group.
Before you set off
Conditions change quickly in the mountains: rather than copying them here, we point you to the Les 2 Alpes tourist office resources, which are kept up to date.
Driving in winter
The chalet is 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes’ drive from Grenoble. From 1 November to 31 March, the municipality of Les Deux Alpes is subject to the winter equipment requirement: four winter tyres marked 3PMSF, or snow chains or snow socks on board for at least two driving wheels. The areas concerned are signposted. (Isère prefecture, in French The street is cleared by the municipality, but after heavy snowfall the snowplough cannot reach everywhere straight away. We strongly recommend winter tyres; failing that, all-season tyres at the very least, marked 3PMSF, otherwise chains or snow socks on board.)
Stays run Sunday to Sunday in the very high season, Saturday to Saturday the rest of the season. On high-season Saturdays, the drive can take two to three times longer. That is why, in the very high season weeks, arrival is on a Sunday: you avoid the busy Saturday roads.
Without a car
The nearest railway station is Grenoble, about 70 km away. From there, coaches run to the resort: Transaltitude from early December to April, bookable online, and the Région Isère coaches all year round, with a change at Le Bourg-d’Oisans. Timetables and bookings on the tourist office Getting to the resort page.
In the resort, free shuttle buses run every day in winter; one of their lines serves the Diable lift.
Once at the chalet, the car can stay in the garage all week: the Diable lift is less than 300 m away on foot (3 minutes); the bottom of the slopes is less than 300 m away on foot (3 minutes), like the Diable lift; bakery and supermarket 2 minutes away on foot. The nearest bakery is Du blé au pain (190 m, 2 min) and the supermarket is Sherpa (about 200 m).
