Private chauffeur in Alpe d’Huez
On its sun-drenched plateau at 1,860 metres, facing the Grandes Rousses, Alpe d’Huez nurtures a double legend: the skiers’ “island in the sun” and the 21-hairpin climb of the Tour de France, etched into cycling history since 1952. Your private chauffeur in Alpe d’Huez covers transfers from Grenoble or Lyon, connections to Huez village and the neighbouring Oisans resorts, and your evenings out, in a mountain-ready 4x4.
The ski area climbs to the Pic Blanc at 3,330 metres, launch point of the Sarenne — 16 km, the longest black run in the world — with one of the widest panoramas in the Alps. In summer the resort becomes a cycling capital and regularly hosts the Tour; Bourg-d’Oisans, the Romanche gorges and the Col du Lautaret round out the excursions. Your chauffeur follows your lead, mountain passes included.

Beyond transfers, your chauffeur becomes the key to the region — private itineraries, fixed prices, vehicle on standby at every stop.
The 21 hairpins by car, a Tour de France story
Every bend bears a winner’s name, from Coppi to Pantani: a narrated climb, stops at the iconic hairpins, the Romanche valley panorama from the plateau. A cycling pilgrimage without a single pedal stroke.
Pic Blanc and the Sarenne
Drop-off at the cable car for the 3,330-metre summit — a fifth of the French Alps in view — while the skiers in your party take on the 16 km Sarenne. Pick-up at the bottom of the slopes.
Oisans villages and the Romanche gorges
Bourg-d’Oisans and its market, balcony-perched Villard-Reculas, the listed hamlet of Besse-en-Oisans: the rural mountains beneath the resort. A lunch of Dauphiné specialities in a valley inn.
Day trip to Les Deux Alpes and La Grave
The Oisans sister resorts: Les Deux Alpes and its glacier, then La Grave, the legendary high-mountain skiing village facing La Meije. Return via the Chambon dam and the Infernet gorges.
An evening on the island in the sun
Dinner at L’Espérance or Le Passe-Montagne, the ice rink or the altitude cinema, then a nightcap in the Coin des Neiges bars. Back to your chalet or down to Huez village, black ice not your problem.
